Trekking is another word for walking. However, the word trekking has become more well known for the kind of walking which takes you along trails winding up, down, over and around mountains. Trekking is not mountaineering although some of the popular trails are used by mountaineering expeditions to get to their base camps. Most of the trails you will walk on are still used predominantly by Nepali people for everyday travel and trade. It is not uncommon to be passed along the way by a Nepali porter carrying lengths of corrugated roofing iron slung from a jute strap (namlo) around the head or a sick relative being carried in a basket (doko) in the same manner to the nearest medical facility. Trekking is a way of seeing a country and its people 'warts and all'. You will walk through the streets of cities and villages and past the open front doors of houses, you will see the people at their daily tasks, the clouds forming below you and the magnificent peaks of mountains towering over you. By trekking you will be involved in a way you could never be in a car, bus, train or aeroplane; you can enjoy the friendliness of the people, feel the magnetism of the mountains, be at one with the country and at peace with yourself. Could you ask or want for anything more? A trekking trip can be any length you choose. There are a number of short treks around the Kathmandu and Pokhara valleys which only take a day to complete. There are two or three day treks or treks from a week to a month. For those with the time you can combine a number of treks and spend months just walking around.

There are excellent trekking agencies who will take care of all the details like government permits, air/bus tickets, guides, porters, food, tents, and equipment. All you have to do on the trail is concentrate on putting one foot before the other. On many popular trekking trails, you can also trek in what is known as "tea house style"- eating and staying in the many lodges and tea houses on the way instead of camping in tents. Equipment: Your trekking agency will provide equipment like sleeping bags, foam mattresses and tents. All you need to bring are your personal wear like walking boots and sand shoes, a water-and wind-proof jacket, woolen shirts, T-shirts, a thick pullover, shorts/skirts, and trousers/track suits.

Sirdar In charge of crew, responsible for hiring of porters, kitchen staff, organising camp areas, camp set-up, finances during trek.Sherpa Guide Assists Leader in guiding, setting up camp, looking after trekkers, security of camp site. 'Sherpa' has become synonymous with a guide but is in fact one of the many "caste" names and your guide may be a 'Gurung', 'Rai', 'Tamang', 'Magar', Sherpa, Chhetri, Bharman etc.. Ask them! Cook Responsible for kitchen staff, buying of food, preparation of food etc. Porter Responsible for the transport of all equipment and trekkers' gear. Kitchen hand Assists cook with the preparation of meals etc. At 6.20 am (yes, that is in the morning!) you will be cheerfully greeted by your 'Sherpa' guide with an early morning call and a hot cup of tea. This will be followed by a bowl of warm washing water. Your day has begun!! After enjoying your cup of tea and washing you will have to re-pack your kit-bag and day pack. Don't worry, you will become quite efficient at this task - by the last day you will have the packing down to a 'T'. It is at this time you will find your headlamp most useful. While you have breakfast, the porters will be busy packing your tent, preparing their loads and heading off to the next campsite. Take note of who your porter is and get to know him. You may see him again on the trail when the porters have their rest stop or lunch but they will always be at the campsite ahead of you with your tent set up and your kit-bag outside the door. Tip: use two garbags in your kit-bag; one for sleeping gear and one for clothes. Much easier for packing and unpacking. Breakfast is usually eaten in the open as the dining tent will have been sent on its way to the next campsite. Be prepared to do a few circuits of the table to warm up those toes before you settle down to eat. This is a time when those mittens will prove useful. Trekking commences at about 8 o'clock. The morning trek is 3-4 hours duration with rest and refreshment stops along the way. The idea is to enjoy the scenery and the people, listen to the sounds and experience the feelings, there is no rush. We encourage you to spread out along the trail rather than walk as one group. There will always be a guide close at hand to help you or to ask questions of. Tip: carry your 'pink roll' and towel in your day pack. Lunch preparations will be well under way when you arrive at the lunch stop. You will be served a nourishing cooked smorgasbord which you will be more than ready for. Take this opportunity to top up your water bottle if required - you have been drinking your water, haven't you? The lunch stop will be for 1 - 1 1/2 hours. A toilet tent will have been set up for your convenience. Tip: don't forget to drink some water each time you take a rest stop.
