Types of Treks:
Tea-House Treks: The most popular way of experiencing classic treks of Nepal is by using local inns for accommodation. Decent hotel accommodation for trekkers is most readily available in the Annapurna, Langtang and Everest Region. In these areas you can operate with a bare minimum of equipment and rely on lodges for food and shelter. Though bedding is available in the lodges as a cotton-filled quilt that may not sufficiently incubate you. So it is always better to carry your own sleeping bags.

Camping Treks: The classic style of trekking in Nepal is to camp in tents and employ Porters to carry your gears and Sherpas to set up camp, cook and serve meals. You carry a backpack with only a water bottle, camera and Jacket. In the camping treks there are numerous hidden expenses that drive up the price depending on the destination, mode of transportation and size of the group. Because of the food is carried by the porters, a variety of meals is possible. On camping trek you sleep in a tent so our itinerary should not rely on village settlements. Rather we can comfortably trek to remote regions and to high altitudes.

Mountaineering skill for tekking?
Weather you begin your trek at a road head or fly in to a remote mountain airstrip, a large part of your trek will be in the foot-hills of Himalaya at elevation between 500m-4500m. In this part of Nepal there are always well - developed trails through villages and mountain passes. Even at high altitudes there are intermittent settlements used during summer by shepherds, so the trails, though sometime indistinct, are always there. You can easily travel on any trail without the aid of ropes or mountaineering skills. However this is not applicable for some Remote Treks. Please get information directly by mail for remote treks.
A trek is physically demanding because of its length and almost unbelievable changes in elevation. On most treks, the daily gain is less than 800 m in about 15 Km, though ascents of as much as 1200 m are typical for some days. You can always take plenty of breaks during the day to cover this distance, so the physical exertion, though quite strenuous at times, is not sustained. There is always plenty of time for rest and a layover day. A Previous experience of hiking and living outdoors is helpful, as you make plans for your trek. Trekking in Group is not necessary:
As these routes in the hills provide special meeting place for the trekkers from throughout the world, traveling in group is not necessary. Rather you can move at your own pace and set your own schedule by not being in group. You can spend a day photographing or make a side trip or just lie down. Each day you will be accompanied by considerable number of trekkers. You can freely alter the routes with in the limits imposed by your trekking permit and your guide will reschedule your itinerary accordingly. While Trekking in Nepal.
There is endless discussion among trekkers about which is the most environmentally sensitive and culturally rewarding way to trek. Similarly, trekkers who stay in lodges can befriend a family that runs the lodge, or can view the kids crawling around and playing with cameras as an irritating intrusion. In the end, your choice of a trekking style will depend on your own personality, the amount of time and, more importantly, money that you have available. No style of trekking is intrinsically ‘better’ than any other, and whatever you do, your trek will infuse money into the hill economy and provide employment for people in remote villages.
There are numerous ways to structure a trek because of two major factors. Firstly, there is inexpensive (by western standards) professional and non - professional labour available to carry loads and to work as guides and camp staff. Secondly, you can almost always find supplies and accommodation locally because there are people living in even the most remote trekking areas. The traditional backpacking approach of a light pack, stove, freeze - dried food and a tent is not an appropriate way to trek in Nepal. So much food is available in hill villages that it doesn't make much sense to try to be totally self - sufficient while trekking.
