1.Ghorepani Ghandruk Circuit Trekking

There is no need of always trekking in deep snowline of Himalayas to enjoy the trekking. Trekking to Poonhill(3210m), actually summarizes the whole Annapurna trekking. Mark our words, there is no other possible way to capture Mount Annapurna, Mount Dhaulagiri, Fishtail, Himchuli from a single spot. Gurung culture during the trekking, especially around the beautiful countryside villages of Ghorepani, Ghandruk makes the trekking more versatile. Deep dense forest, small waterfalls and streams, terraced crop lands, during the trekking add more fun. Moreover, being the trekking itinerary short, still it is very flexible.This is one of the best treks for first time trekker in Nepal.

2.Langtang Valley Trekking

Even though, Langtang valley trekking seems to be high-altitude trekking considering the height of Tserko-ri(5030m), it is not. More to that, Tserko-ri is only a day hike to enjoy the beautiful Langtang valley trekking. Otherwise, a trekker would spend nights in Kyanjing village at the height of 3870m. Which we believe is not high-altitude trekking for amateur and beginner trekkers. Again, deep dense forest around Bamboo, Lama Hotel, Ghodetabela is home to beautiful animal like Red Panda. Tamang culture around the village of Langtang and Kyanjing are something special a trekker can enjoy. Another best treks for first time trekker in Nepal.

With in few days, a trekker is in beautiful sub-alpine villages of Namche, Khumjung, Khunde and Tengboche dominated by Sherpa culture and traditions. Monasteries at Tengboche and Khumjung are bonus. Plus, unrestricted view of Mount Everest, Mount Lhotse, Mount Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Thamserku, Kongde peak from a single spot of height 3880m is priceless. Moreover, a trekker can continue to Everest Base Camp or Gokyo trekking once they feel comfortable. Flexible right?

Langtang Tamang Heritage trekking itinerary brings culture and nature together. Tamang villages like Gatlang, Thuman, Briddim have raw culture of Tamang people to see day to day activity.
