Types of Trekking
 
 

Tea House Trekking

Tea house trekking is the most popular form of trekking along the many established trails in the Himilayas. It involves stopping each night to eat and sleep at a local Tea House on the way. Our guide leads you along your route, organizing and paying for places where you eat and sleep so the only thing you have to worry about is getting your boots off and your feet up before a hot shower and a wholesome meal.

Although many tea houses and hotels in the hills and mountains are reasonably comfortable, some may be dirty and, in areas where chimneys are rare, rooms may be smoky. Your guide will ensure that the places you eat and stay in subscribe to the minimum levels of comfort you expect - a clean room, hot water showers and a reasonable menu of good local and foreign dishes.The benefit of Tea House Trekking is that, by arranging food and accommodation locally through the guide, you can move at your own pace, set your own schedule and - most importantly - meet and experience the real life of the rural people first hand.

 

Camping Trekking

The camping trek is the type of trek where all the trekking gear such as tents, mattresses, sleeping bags, toilet tents, kitchen tens, kitchen utensils, etc. will be provided by us as well as a certain number of support staff and a guide based on the size of the group. A sirdar (chief guide) will be employed to handle the whole trekking program. However, while you are on a camping trek, you will have to stick to the program and schedule which is pre-arranged by the sirdar. All the meals will be prepared on the way using the fresh vegetables available in the surrounding area. Some tinned food will also be served. While your exposure to all the elements of the mountain environment will be more direct by camping, the interaction with the local communties is less direct in this option.
