The hotel nights before and after the trek, as well as visits to Kathmandu and its surroundings can be included in the price offered by Siddhartha Trekking. Just mention it to us. Many customers choose this option. See below for more information.

Important: 25% of the total amount of your trek will be required when booking.

We draw your attention to the fact that our guides and porters receive a decent salary, and are properly equipped.
We do not entrust them with more than the regulatory load, i.e. 30 kg of luggage per carrier.
Some trekking agencies attract customers with very competitive rates. But of course they do so at the expense of the wages, safety and health of their staff.

Accommodation:

In Kathmandu, we usually book a hotel in Kapan for our customers. A neighborhood a little far from the city center, very close to the big stupa of Buddhanath, and which has the advantage of being much more pleasant.
However, the hotel park is huge in Kathmandu. If you want to make your own choice, just let us know.

In the trek, the lodges are more or less large houses with bedrooms and sometimes dormitories, which are quite comfortable overall. A common room is provided for meals. The toilets and showers are in most cases outside the rooms. There is no heating in the rooms, which are often poorly insulated. However, the dining room is very often heated.
The higher we go, the lower the comfort. The limited number of infrastructures on certain treks or parts of treks still obliges us to stop there, but in general, we do our best to select the best of them.

If you choose camping (or if you are forced to do so by the absence of lodges), you will be accommodated in two-person tents.

As we mentioned above, taking real showers is sometimes possible in some lodges. Sometimes, you are offered a large bucket of hot water, which will however make you happy! For a small supplement.

Food :

The Nepalese national dish is dal bhat, consisting of white rice, a lentil soup and a vegetable curry, sometimes accompanied by meat (often chicken).

During your trek, you will see your team eating dal bhat daily. You can join them. But you will also find soups, pasta, potatoes, eggs, often with vegetables (from the garden!). Sometimes meat.
You can also sometimes taste the famous “momos”, vegetable ravioli, or buffalo meat and even for tourists, yak cheese!
Whether in lodges, or prepared by your team if you are camping, the food is almost always the same (not spicy).



One day trek:

• Get up around 7am. It can be 4h or 5h in the morning when climbing the passes!
• Preparation of bags, storage of belongings. Porters generally leave before you, and take a meal break around 10am.
• Breakfast,
• Departure around 8 am, walk,
• Tea-cookie break around 10 am,
• Lunch between 11:30 am and 1 pm, depending on the stages, and short rest time,
• Walk until 3 pm, 4 pm, 5pm, depending on the stages,
• On arrival, “tea-cookies”, shower, relaxation,
• Dinner around 6.30pm or 7pm,
• Sleeping from 8pm (you go to bed early in the lodges …).

Domestic flights:

The progress of your trek can sometimes be disrupted due to bad weather conditions which prevent domestic planes from taking off. This is a fairly common phenomenon in Nepal, and we are dependent on these unpredictable events. Round trips by bus can in certain situations be considered.But it should be taken into consideration. Also, always allow a “margin” of 2 or 3 days before your international return flight.

You will always be accompanied by a French-speaking guide to whom you can share your concerns, questions, surprises, joys, before, during and after the trek.
Prepare to live a unique adventure, sometimes with its little unexpected too!

Treks and Visit

Treks in Nepal

 

The Nepal is one of the top destinations in the world for trekking because it has unique views. It is a country that offers great ethnic and cultural diversity, but also an infinite variety of landscapes.

Hiking is a great way to discover its riches. There are a very large number of treks, more or less long, which meet all the desires of travelers, according to their desires, but also to their physical capacities. No need to be an experienced mountaineer or mountain dweller to have fun. No need to travel long distances to discover an extremely varied fauna and flora.

At low and medium altitude, you will discover terraced crops, rodhodendron forests, waterfalls … and at high altitude snow-capped peaks, glaciers and lakes. You will cross villages, you will be able to observe very varied lifestyles according to regions and ethnicities (Hindu or Buddhist).

Visit

The most famous treks, and the most frequented also, are located in the regions of Everest, Annapurnas, Langtang, Mustang, Rolwaling, in the Kathmandu valley. But the possibilities are enormous.

Our section “Treks and visits to Nepal” details a large number of circuits, but the list is not exhaustive, and in the same region, many variations are possible depending on the time you have, your budget, your desires, your physical abilities …

The walking time between each stage is given as an indication. It depends on the pace and the physical condition of each trekker.

With the exception of treks without lodges, you will always have the choice between lodge accommodation or camping. Be aware, however, that the camping trek is more expensive than the lodge trek, because you have to bring all the equipment, and therefore pay more staff (porters, cooks …).

The rest days planned in the cities, in particular in Pokhara, can be extended, in order to allow you to do other activities such as paragliding, or canyoning …

Do not hesitate to contact us to personalize your circuit!


 

If you do not plan a trek, or if you have enough time before or after your trek, we can guide you for a visit to the city of Kathmandu and / or the other cities of the valley: a unique cultural and architectural heritage in world. You will find all the details in our “Kathmandu Valley” menu.

You can also visit one of the two main national parks in Nepal, Chitwan National Park and Bardia National Park. You will find all the details in our “National Parks” menu.
