The himalaya have been called 'the wild
heart of Asia' revered as the abode of the gods, the himalaya from
the magic landscape which never fails to impress the visitor, be it
the lush green valleys, massive glaciers, rugged high pastures,
roaring rivers or royal snow covered peaks. The Himalaya are the
home of mountain people such as the Sherpas, as well as the
legendary snow leopards, blue sheep, yak, and - why not? - The Yeti.
A trekking in the Himalaya not only brings physical satisfaction; it
allows the visitor to journey through as ancient culture, which is
steeped in the Buddhist religion. Pumori Adventure trekking, with
than 15 years of experience in high altitude trekking, makes it
possible for you to choose from many trekking programs, with eight
different destinations in Nepal: Kathmandu valley, Helambu, Langtang,
east Nepal and west Nepal.
In the Himalaya, trekking for pleasure is a relatively new
phenomenon. It was not until 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and
Tenzing Norgay Sherpa scaled Mount Everest that Nepal was put on the
map as a mountaineers and trekkers destination. Many people still do
not know that trekking does not have to be agonizingly difficult.
Most treks follow old trails with good facilities on the way.
Trekking a lower altitude for an instance in the Helambu (max.
3200m) or Langtang (max 3800m) strongly reduces the chance of a
large temperature drops or altitude sickness. Trails are often
steep, but you can walk at your own peace, enjoying the extra
comfort of good, camping chairs and toilet, a well trained guide, as
well as experienced porters. |
