Description:
General Information :
In 1965, the first ever trekking company was established by the late Colonel Jimmy Roberts. Since then, Mountain Travel Nepal has retained its international reputation for unrivalled excellence, catering to the trekkers every need from guides to cooks, camping equipment to personal needs.
Trekking, the meaning of which is ?travel by foot along mountain trails? , can be done for just a few days or for a month or more, in the same style as exploratory or mountaineering expeditions. Whilst trekking, Sherpas serve as guides, interpreters, cooks and camp staff. Porters, horses or yaks carry all food, fuel, camping equipment and your personal belongings so that you need only carry what you might want during the day. At night either you can stay in tents or local lodges known as tea-houses and sleep in sleeping bags, all of which are carried with the trekking party.
TYPES OF TREK
Below is a list of the various types of more... trek available with Mountain Travel Nepal.
Full Support Treks
Full Support treks provide a charming angle to trekking in the Himalayas. Accommodation is in the form of luxury tents, which are put up at the end of each day by Mountain Travel?s expert porters who carry the equipment from place to place throughout the trek with the help of pack animals. 3-course meals are prepared and cooked for you by our trained chefs that accompany you on your trek. Fresh supplies of vegetables, eggs and meat are purchased locally wherever available. Warm water is provided for washing in the mornings and evenings
Full Support Group Treks & Expeditions
We have several tours, treks and expeditions that we offer on a fixed departure basis. These trips are joined by trekkers from all around the world and are normally comprised of between three and ten participants. Most of the trips are guaranteed to operate with only two persons without affecting the cost.
Tailor - Made Full Support Treks
Mountain Travel Nepal designs personalised itineraries for individuals, families, and small groups of friends wishing to trek alone with full support services and at a different time to our fixed departure dates.
Full - Arrangement Tea House Treks
A number of people who trek the more popular routes prefer to combine sleeping in tea houses (which provide dormitories and private rooms) with our renowned guiding services. Those wishing to do a tea-house trek will be provided with a guide as well as a porter for your personal belongings and sleeping bags. Accommodation will be reserved at appropriate teahouses along the route. Meals are taken in the various rest houses along the way.
Part - Arrangement Tea House Treks
In the off season we also arrange guide and porter support for the more independent-minded trekker. We set you on your way with one of our experienced guides and a porter to carry your equipment.
Expedition Services
We cater for major full scale Himalayan expeditions. Our involvement can be tailored to suit the budget of the Expedition but in most cases we cut out the bureaucratic hurdles involved with obtaining permission as well as provide the support of some of our top Sherpas.
Expedition Support Treks
For major Himalayan expeditions we also organise special support treks to expedition base camps for families & supporters of the expedition members.
Recreational Climbing
Today, many of the smaller Himalayan peaks can be successfully climbed by recreational mountaineers on a relatively short holiday expedition. Considering the distances one must fly, the costs can be quite reasonable, and a small expedition to Nepal need no longer be an impossible dream. We organise short-duration expeditions to a number of 20,000-foot Himalayan peaks.
Film Location Service
For film and television production companies wishing to film in the Himalayas or the Indian subcontinent, we, together with our sister company Adventure Travel Nepal, can handle all the arrangements. The BBC, Central TV, Yorkshire TV, The Discovery Channel, Survival Anglia, Bernardo Bertolucci and Cathay Pacific have all had their arrangements handled by ourselves.
School Expeditions
We also offer a complete Himalayan treks & expedition service to schools. We can advise on the appropriate region and destination in the Himalayas to suit the school's objectives. We will handle all the arrangements, supplying detailed itineraries, comprehensive information booklets and equipment lists.
Special Interest Treks
Many individuals or organisations want to arrange a special interest trek which is precisely tailored to suit their particular interest. These trips might be culturally orientated or specifically for bird watching and the like. Together with our associate companies we are also able to provide trek leaders with expert knowledge on specific subjects.
Quid Pro Quo For Trekking
It is up to the trekker as to what sort of trek he/she would like to do and this can be discussed with Tiger Mountain?s expert team of advisors when you come to book your trek. Trekking does involve an element of fitness and obviously, the more strenuous the trek, the better it is to be fit. People of all ages, standards and abilities trek through the Himalayas ? whatever your specifications, Tiger Mountain can fulfil them.
