Experience life as it really is for
Nepali people outside of Kathmandu and the trekking
routes. The majority of people still live in small
communities; with most growing what they need for
their own use only and keeping a few cows and buffalo,
if they are lucky. This tour is part of our Community
Tourism Programme. Now that most people fly to Lukla,
if they are Everest bound, the whole area between
Jiri and Lukla is tranquil. A days drive (an adventure
all on its own) from Kathmandu takes us to the village
of Shivalaya, which lies on the now little used trekking
route from Jiri to the Khumbu (Everest region). From
Shivalaya we explore the valley which runs northwards
into an area where few tourists venture.
The walk along the Khola is very pleasant
and we will be welcomed everywhere we go, due to our
rarity factor. You will sample living in a Nepalese
household in the tiny hamlet of Garjang (1,980m),
away from the tourist trails, with beautiful views
all around, and a number of gentle walks will beckon.
