Trekking in Nepal
The Wikipedia (online encyclopedia) defines "Trekking is a form of walking, undertaken with the specific purpose of exploring and enjoying the scenery. It usually takes place on trails in areas of relatively unspoiled wilderness."
In the normal term, trekking is another word for walking. However, the word trekking has become well known for the form of walking which takes you along trials winding up, down, over and around mountains. Nepal is trekkers’ paradise. One can trek along with beaten trials or isolated outposts. Trekking itself is not mountaineering although mountaineering expedition too uses some of the popular trials to reach the Base Camps for the rigorous climb.
Asahi Treks is specializing in customer service in the Himalayas Mountains fostering our motto of Hospitality, Friendship and Flexibility with personal care of our valuable guests. We can assure you by changing a simple holiday into adventurous, fascinating and memorable cultural experience to your utmost satisfaction. Normally we offer two different standards of trekking (Moderate to adventurous) in Nepal and they are:
When to trek?
February to April (Spring Season) is the time you can enjoy the view of the majestic mountains with no clouds and this is also the time to enjoy different flora with blooming rhododendrons of vibrant colors. Days are apparently hot while walking but you can feel relief at night. Days are longer so you can cover bit more distance as well. Late September to late November (Autumn Season) is the most popular season as the sky remains clear and rain is at a minimum. It provides uninterrupted and crystal clear views of the Himalayas for several hundreds of kilometers. December and January are the Trekking in Nepalcoldest months with heavy snowfall in the upper hills, crossing the passes at this time can be impossible.
Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)
Also known as Altitude Sickness, AMS is the effects of altitude on those who ascend too rapidly to elevations above 3600 m. early symptoms include headache, loss of appetite, lethargy, and sleeplessness. Do not ignore these warnings as serious symptoms can cause death within a few hours. Being young, strong and fit does not help. Medicine is no substitute for descent. If a doctor is available, he may give medicine and oxygen. The patient must go down, even if given treatment. If you are traveling in Khumbu and Manang regions, you can contact Khunde, Pheriche in Khumbu region and Manang in Manang region for more information on altitude sickness. Hospitals are there with good doctors. To avoid altitude sickness you should walk slowly and drink a lot of fluid. If you feel exhausted, you have moved too fast or too high. Take time to acclimatize to each gaining altitude and give yourself rest days. If you start to feel unwell, retreat to a lower altitude immediately. It may save your life. The only cure for AMS is to descend immediately to a lower elevation.

Naya Kaga 5,844 m/climbing
Ganjala Chuli 5,844 m (Naya Kaga) is the one of the beast and adventurous climbing spot in Nepal which includes Langtang-Helambu trek in Nepal.Langtang region is a popular, famous and amazing destination for climbing snow peaks and spectacular panoramic views of mountains in Nepal. It has easy access to the region and availability of several snow peaks scattered around for acclimatization make this region an ideal destination for novice as well as experienced climbers. Naya Kanga is an attractive peak rising to the west of the Ganja La pass (5,844m/16).
Ascending to Ganja La and the summit of Naya Kanga offer the spectacular panoramic views of mountains in Nepal and Tibet including Langshisa Ri (6,370m/20,894ft), Pemthang Ri (6,836m/22,422ft), Shisapangma (8,046m/27,749ft), Langtang Lirung (7,425m/24,354ft), Pemthang Kapro Ri (6,830m/22,402ft) and Langtang II (6,571m/21,553ft). The normal route of ascent to Naya Kanga is via the north - East Ridge over a line on ice and snow. We follow the route of Langtang trek to Kyangjin (3,749m/12,297ft) for the ascent of Naya Kanga. To the north above Kangjin, there are several hills that provide both the magnificent views and acclimatization. Northeast of Kyangjin RI (4,700m/15,416ft), there are two peaks; Yala Peak (5,500m/18,040ft) and Tsergo Peak (5,749m/18,857ft) that provide good climbing for acclimatization. Climbing Naya Kanga from North-East Face and North Ridge.
Crossing the Langtang Khola below Kyangjin, we climb steeply along the ridge through a forest of rhododendron and juniper. Finally climbing more gently, we arrive at yak pastures of Ngegang at about 4000m. We continue following the trail to Ganja La climbing steeply through moraine . We leave Ganja La trail to climb steeply up yet more moraine to reach the eastern end of the glacier shelf beneath the north-east face of Naya Kanga. We set up the high camp here for the ascent. We cross the glacier shelf to the foot of a shallow couloir heading to the north ridge. We climb the couloir to the notch and the base of the ridge. Then we turn to the ice nose on the left which is only the technical section on the climb. Now the ridge widens and leads to a small col. on the east-west summit ridge and the summit is only 30m higher to the right. The climb near the summit should be done carefully. Normally, the ascent takes 5-7 hours from the high camp. For the return trek, we may follow Ganja La-Helambu route or back the way we came in to Dhunche.

Kwangde(6,011m ) Climbing
Kwangde Ri is also named Kongde Ri and Kwande on various maps. This difficult mountain forms an impressive multi-summited ridge on the eastern end of the Lumding Himal, which in turn can be regarded as part of the Rolwaling Himal. Rising south-west of Namche Bazaar above the Bhote Koshi River, the mountain’s northern flank forms an impressive barrier that throws down several steep ridges to the north.
Its glaciated southern flank is more aloof and is hidden at the northern end of the Lumding Drangka, a high and remote valley bound to the west by the tumbling glaciers of Karyolung (6,511m/21,361ft), Khartang (6,853m/22,484ft) and Numbur (6,959m/22,831ft). The Lumding valley is rarely visited by trekkers or expeditors. At the northern end of the valley, the stream cascades down a natural rocky barrier above which there is a moraine-bound lake- the Tsho Og, at the snout of the Limding Glacier. North of the Tsho Og, hidden in a huge rocky cwm- ???, is the massive Lumding Tsho Teng (5,151m/16,899ft).
All the routes climbed to-date on the Kwangde Peaks are difficult and none have proved to be suitable for commercial trekking expeditions. The routes on the North Face are particularly difficult and reflect recent developments in lightweight Himalayan climbing with an emphasis on technical difficulty and a high degree of commitment. They have invariably been made by two climbers without support camps or fixed ropes, although, in at least one case, a subsequent ascent has seen a return to traditional siege style tactics with masses of fixed ropes and camps. The routes on the South Face are also committing and difficult even though the climbing is more traditional in character.
The first ascent of Kwangde Lho was made by a Nepalese expedition in 1975 which was led by Kumar Khagda Bikram Shah. Lhakpa Tenzing. Sonam Gyalzen, Shambhu Tamang and Sonam Hisi reached the actual summit on October 17 via the South Ridge.
Experienced climbers who are looking for rarely climbed and challenging small peaks in the Himalayas will find this peak very attractive. Further information regarding arrangements to climb this peak will be provided on request.

Hiunchuli (6441m.)/climbing
This is the one of the popular peack . which is nearby the Annapurna south,is the fourth highest peak among the ‘trekking Peaks’ and considered one of the least difficult by expeditions. It was first summited in October 1971 by an American Peace Corps Expedition under the leadership of Craig Anderson.
Hiunchuli is part of the Annapurna range and was discovered by Jimmy Roberts, the father of commercial trekking. It is connected to the east face of Annapurna South. There are three major trekking peaks within the Annapurna Sanctuary, so named by Roberts, as the local inhabitants held the area sacred. They are Tent Peak, Fluted Peak and Hiunchuli.
This trip sets out from Pokhara valley. From Pokhara valley, the trail leads up slowly towards Annapurna Basecamp situated at an altitude of 4300m. One day rest will be set to explore the Annapurna Basecamp and for the acclimatization. Annapurna Basecamp is considered as the Hiunchuli Basecamp too. Three to four days are set aside for the ascent of this peak and then you will return ahead to Pokhara valley followed by same route as in the ‘Annapurna Sanctuary’ trek.
To attempt the mountain you will need some mountaineering skill and is relatively easy to get the climbing permission. The formidable front wall of the sanctuary has a fearsome reputation and there is no 'standard' route up. Any route is a challenging technical climb with devilish route finding, and is best tackled in true expedition style.

Chulu East (6584)/Climbing
We are proud to let you know these little peaks in Nepal. There are thausands of peakes like this but these are under the shadow .These peaks are part of the Manang Himal, which are quite rightly included in the larger Damodar Himal, the eastern limit of which runs south from Chako and Peak 6687 in a north-to-south direction along the Hunlung Khola, Nar Khola and Phu Khola. The south it is bounded by the Marsyangdi River and the Mesokanta La. To the west its limit is the Kali Gandaki and to the north the Parchekya La (5,447m).
There exists considerable confusion with regard to the name and location of the Chulu peaks and what summit actually constitutes Chulu West and Chulu East, since it is soon becomes apparent to anyone that has climbed in the range that several other summits close by, which are actually part of the Chulu massif, are not indicated on present maps of the area. For the sake of clarification, four summits can be included in the Chulu group, two of which are possible on the permit for Chulu West and two on the Chulu East permit. What is apparent is that the available trekking map is highly misleading.
Many climbers are confused as to the exact location of these two peaks as the range has 4 or more summits in the immediate vicinity, which are unmarked in maps of this area. As a result many climbing parties have mistakenly climbed one of these peaks thinking it to be Chulu East or West. It usually understood that with the permit to climb the East or West peak an attempt could be made to the nearby peak as well. A climb of one or both of these peaks combined with Nepal's most famous Around the Annapurna region trek make up for one of the most spectacular Himalayan trekking and climbing.

Pumori ( 7161m.)/climbing
To the Northwest of Nepal lies the fascinating country of the legendry Sherpas. In this land of mountains, Pumori stands aloof and proud as if aware of its intense effect on the valley below. From the smaller summit belonging to Kalapattar to the sparking slopes of Pumori there appears to be a path that leads to the very sky. Pumori, this incredible pyramid of snow and rocks, is indeed the pride of the Solo Khumbu.
Pumori is generally considered to be technically challenging and requires climbers to be experienced as well as in faultless physical condition. For one such climber this mountain could become the most rewarding challenger in the Himalaya.
Our trek kicks off at Lukla. For the actual climb we will use the classical route which was first opened by a German -Swiss team. We climb the enormous south-east slope till the junction with the north-east ridge. This route requires the least amount of technically: but is exposed to objective dangers: an avalanche prone section and a section exposed to seracfall. The Base Camp is at an altitude of 3500m while the advanced camp is established at an altitude of 5900m.
No high altitude experience necessary. It is mostly a snow climb up fixed lines that we will all take part in fixing. Some snow/ice climbing ability really helps here. You will need crampons and an ice axe for some of the snow/ice and mixed stretches, so experience with use of these is mandatory. Of course you will need to be in an above average shape and a positive mental attitude is as important as good physical condition.
MT. PUMORI ROUTE INFORMATION:

Kanchanjunga 8,586m. Expedition
Kanchanjunga, at 8,586m, is the third-highest peak in the world and the second-highest in Nepal. It was first climbed by a British team in 1956. The peak consists of four summits. The west summit, Yalung Kang, is 8420m high and some people classify it as a separate 8000m. peak.
Thee first Westerner to explore Kanchanjunga was the British botanist JD Hooker, who visited the area twice in 1848 and 1849. Exploration of the Sikkim, side of the peak continued with both British and pundit explorers mapping and photographing until 1899. In that year a party led by Douglas fresh field made a circuit of Kanchanjunga and produced what is still one of the most authoritative maps of the region.
Exploration continued, mostly from the Sikkim side, with expeditions starting from Darjeeling in British India. One of the major contributors to Western knowledge about the region was Dr AM Kellas, who later died in Tibet during the approach march of the 1921 Everest expedition. German expeditions attacked the peak in 1929, 1930 and again in 1931, but none was successful. After the was Sikkim was closed but Nepal was open. In 1955 a team led by Dr Charl es Evans approached the peak via the Yalung Glacier. Two teams climbed the peak, stopping just short of the summit to conform to an agreement with the Maharaja of Sikkim that the summit would remain inviolate.
The Japanese then took up the challenge and mounted expeditions in 1967, 1973 and n1974. when they climbed Yalung Kang. A German Expedition climbed Yalung Kang in 1975, and in Indian army team mounted the second successful expeditions to the main peak of Kanchanjunga.

Mount Cho Oyu/climbing
Austrian first climbs Cho Oyu in 1954. The Indian and German team also climbed this peak in 1958 and 1964 respectively. Till to date many expedition teams have successfully reached on its summit. The year 2004 was regarded as the Golden jubilee of this Cho Oyu Mountain in the field of expedition. The golden jubilee ceremony was organized by Nepal Mountaineering Association with grand fanfare and jubilantly. There were about 400 climbers from different region of the World during this golden jubilee ceremony and most of them made the summit.
Most of the Cho Oyu expedition teams climb from Tibet side due the easy technique-climbing route. Since 1998, our company “Nature Trail Trekking and Expedition" is also conducting the expedition from Tibet side. We also had Golden jubilee Cho Oyu Expedition in Autumn 2004.Cho Oyu is the sixth highest mountain in the world, located a short distance to the west from Everest (the highest) and Lhotse (the fourth highest) in the Khumbu region of Eastern Nepal along the Tibetan border. Its towering peak stands with Everest well above the surrounding mountains. It became a familiar landmark to climbers ascending Everest's north face. Just west of Cho Oyu is the Nangpa La, a 19,000-foot glacier pass, the main trade route between the Khumbu Sherpas and Tibet. Cho Oyu's proximity to the Nangpa La has earned it the distinction among some climbers as being the easiest 8,000 meter peak. It was the third such peak climbed, and the first climbed in Autumn.

Mera Peak/ climbing
The Approach Trek
This is the highest trekking peak in Nepal, standing at 6476m/21246 ft, and is situated in an uninhabited and unspoilt part of Nepal to the south-east of Everest. Whilst the summit of Mera is our ultimate goal, the outstanding feature of this trip is the trek through the Hinku valley which is one of the wildest and most beautiful in Nepal.This will allow us to sample a true 'wilderness experience' en route to Mera.
We start the trek by flying to Lukla and from here proceed slowly to the east, crossing the Zatr La, and after nine days trekking we eventually reach the Mera La where we site our base camp.On the trail to the Zatr La
Mera Peak Trek - The Climb
From the Mera La it is possible to ascend to the summit in one day, but we will make use of a high camp to increase our chances of success. The steady climb to the north summit rewards our efforts with one of the finest viewpoints in Nepal, giving fantastic views of five 8000m peaks, Everest and Lhotse to the north, Kanchenjunga and Makalu to the east, and Cho Oyu to the west.This trek is a fully equipped camping trek with accommodation in two person tents and food being cooked by our kitchen staff.
