Nepal
Trekking Mode (Types): |
In Nepal there are
various types of trekking.
Tea House Trekking: In this type of trekking you are
travelling in areas which are populated with many small
villages, though the areas can sometimes be quite remote
, the villages all offer some standard of tea houses. A
tea house is normally a family run affair, similar to a
small hotel; a tea house offers the trekker
accommodation and food. Rooms are normally basic with
one or two beds. Sometimes bathrooms are attached
sometimes they are on a share bases. Most teahouses
offer some degree of hot water, though this depends
entirely on solar power, so really its up to the sun.
Depending on the tea house, some supply blankets, some
don’t. All teahouses will have a common room for dining
with a heater around which you can get warm and dry your
clothes. All teahouses have a kitchen and will prepare
meals tea and coffee for you. It may also be possible to
purchase beer, snacks such as chocolate and mineral
water. Most teahouses have water filter in the common
room which you can use to top up your bottles. As with
hotels, obviously the standard varies. When trekking
with a guide through a company, your tea house
accommodation will be booked in advance for you and the
standard will be the best available. When trekking alone
esp. in peak seasons, you can experience difficulty in
finding vacant tea houses esp. in the more popular
areas. Tea house trekking is a comfortable and
convenient way of trekking.
Camping Trek: During a camping trek you will be
accommodated in tents and all meals will be provide for
you form the camp cook site. Toilet facilities will be
provide in the form of pit toilets and washing
facilities will be minimal. When organized by a company,
everything will be provided for you as well as the
porters to carry everything you need. Camping is a fun
and social way of trekking esp. in large groups. If
trekking independently on a camping trek, you should
note that In populated areas you may be camping on sites
near to tea house which means that toilets and showers
may be available to you (you rent the site from the tea
house for a small cost) and food and fuel supplies can
be readily purchased or you can dine in a teahouse.. In
remote areas you will be in the wilderness and no such
facilities will be available, it is necessary to carry
all required food and supplies with you. You should be
well researched and prep pared on such trips. Though if
trekking in a group a company will take care of
everything for you.
Pony Trek: For those people that may have low levels
of fitness or physical disability or are not inclined to
go trekking it is possible to organize pony treks to
some areas. This is a great way for you to experience
the breathtaking beauty of the mountains. These treks
can either be tented or teahouse depending on your
desires. Ponies supplied are small but of strong statue.
When you organize though a company, they will provide
the ponies for you that are sound and healthy condition
and come with experienced handlers. If organizing this
yourself, you should make sure the beast you hire is of
sound condition and good health and its handler is
experienced, some ponies can be quite temperamental.
Mountaineering & Peak Climbing: This is the most
extreme form of trekking in Nepal and requires a high
level of fitness and experience and specialized
equipment. Nepal, having some of the world’s tallest
mountains is a popular destination for peak climbing.
When undertaking such activities, you must be part of a
registered mountaineering team which is supported by a
licensed company. You must obtain the relevant permits
and permission before under taking such an expedition.
There are companies in neap l that can organize all this
for you. |
