Why choose a Himalaya tour?
The Himalayas, a wall of eight-thousanders that block out half the sky, give you the feeling of literally walking on the edge of the planet. Thousands of tourists and climbers come here every year for unforgettable views, thrills, and the fulfillment of dreams. Here are just a few reasons to book a Himalayan tour:
- Mountainous grandeur – the Himalayas are home to some of the world’s most legendary peaks, including Everest and Manaslu. The routes to these peaks are sure to amaze even the most experienced trekkers. Fertile plains with subtropical forests and rivers alternate with rolling hills and snow-capped peaks. This dramatic change in landscape allows for a truly immersive experience, even over short distances.
- Picturesque lakes and glaciers – on a Himalayas tour, you’ll enjoy natural springs that are the stuff of legend. Nepal is home to over 200 glacial lakes. They attract tourists not only with their unique beauty but also with their spiritual value. The glaciers themselves store more ice than all the glaciers in Europe and North America combined.
- Fauna diversity – Nepal boasts an incredibly rich wildlife. Over 850 species of birds live here, making this region a true ornithologist’s paradise.
- Experience an ancient culture – Himalayan treks offer visits to mountain villages and diverse ethnic communities. This allows travelers to combine extreme adventure with anthropological research. By choosing to climb the Himalayas, you’ll experience the hospitality of the Nepalese people and experience their ancient traditions.
