Join us in April 2014 for a once in a lifetime journey to Nepal…… land of the lovely Sherpa people, the Himalayas and, of course, famous Mount Everest.

Why travel to Nepal with Natural Trekking? The key to a succesful trek is good acclimatization and this cannot be rushed – altitude rules!  Statistics show that the more days taken the better the chance of success.  With this in mind we have designed our trek to give you the optimum opportunity to reach your goal of Everest Base Camp.   In addition to extra acclimatization days on the trek we have  included extra days in Kathmandu before and after the trek.   This gives you time to rest from your flight, adjust to the new time zone and ensure that you have ample time to connect to your international flight on the return.

Our primary concern is that you have a safe, enjoyable and memorable trek!

• §    Tips for the guide & porters – Approximately $200 per person

Accommodation in Kathmandu will be the Kathmandu Guest House upon arrival (www.ktmgh.com) and a combination of the Kathmandu Guest House & Park Village Resort (on the http://www.ktmgh.com website) when we return from the trek.  Breakfast is included on these days. 

Accommodation on the trek will be in teahouses and not tents.  The teahouses range from very basic to quite comfortable.  Rooms generally consist of 2 twin beds with mattress, pillow & duvet.  I highly recommend a warm sleeping bag as the nights higher up can drop to below 0 and the teahouse have no heating or insulation.  All Meals are provided at each teahouse and are included.
