 Cultural AdventureAt the end of the first day of trekking when we came over the top of the hill and our guide said that down below was our campsite and that the tents we could see (already pitched) would be where we would be sleeping, it was a total surprise to us. None of us had thought that somebody would be pitching tents for us or that we would have such elaborate and delicious meals.Hannah Messerli Friends in High Places guest Under Icy peaks - Siklis14 Days: 10 Days Full Service Tented Trekking, Everest Flight; Optional Jungle SafariFrom only $1,499 per person, fully inclusive Way, way off the beaten track but convenient to good transportation, this is the perfect trek for people with limited time but high aspirations. This moderate ten-day trek goes generally northwest from a roadhead near Pokhara, to Siklis village high on the shoulder of Macchapuchhare Himal, up Rambrong Peak (13,600 feet), and ends at Besisahar, a boomtown set at a primitive roadhead. There are superb views of the great mountains and excellent opportunities to see a variety of villages and peoples largely untouched by the modern world. There will be few if any other westerners on this route. Much of the way you will trace along the boundary between cultivation and wilderness, with great mountains to one side and terraced hillside farms and villages spreading away to the other. In this world manufactured goods are in use but travelers are rare, and the people go about their lives as they have for time immemorial. See it with your own party of friends and family, at your convenience, and in high style, with us. Highlights Include:Experience the real Nepal - far, far from the crowds.10 days tented trek, including full camp, food, staff, & permits.
