KANCHENJUNGA TREK
Kanchenjunga is one of the most remote and beautiful areas in Nepal which, unused to foreign visitors, still lies shrouded in mystery. The features of the walk in are pleasant villages then in the high regions, glorious mountains and abundant wildlife. This includes musk deer, blue sheep and, for the believer, the Yeti! Magnificent views of Everest, Makalu and the Kanchanjunga massif will make the trip memorable.

MAKALU BASE CAMP TREK
This region is blessed with an incredible diversity of natural beauty and culture. Due to its isolation and lack of teahouses in this area still receives few trekkers. Sherpas, Rais, Limbus are main habitants in this region.

Walking north up the Arun river to Seduwa and Num, then crossing Barun La (4110m) into the upper Barun Khola Valley for a close look at Mt Makalu (8463m). You can oput together even wilder trek by crossing Sherpani-Col and West-col into the upper Hongu Valley. The second part of the trek is very difficult and almost impossible without previous experiences.
