  • Hi!

    Thank you Surendra and the team. Our recent trip to Nepal was very well organised by Firante Treks and Expeditions. The planning process was very efficient with good email communications and safe transfer of funds, and rapid confirmation that they had been received. The trek was for 18 days and well organised, and at all times we felt that our safety and comfort was paramount. The inevitable illnesses, cuts and blisters were dealt with very professionally. I would certainly recommend Firante Treks to anyone trekking in Nepal & Tibet.

  • Dear Sonam,

    It was a great pleasure biking with you through Tibet (Lhasa to Kathmandu) September/October 2007. The perfect organisation made the journey in this unique Land to an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much for whole Firante treks & Expeditions team.

  • Namaste Pradhu,
    This is Helga from the Wolfgang-group. You are so nice! This is very kind of you. Well, the group really was happy. You and the cooking staff, service men and the boys have been wonderful ambassadors for Firante Treks: No moods, no bad temper, always helpful and watchful. You all made our trekking to Mt. Kailash a success. Surendra really should know what good crew he has provided. It is really true: This trekking was a memorable one! I am sure, no one of us will forget it.

This trek commences overland to the road heading to Jiri (6 hrs). We follow the original route of the early expeditions through some truly beautiful alpine scenery.

This region is relatively underdeveloped compared to the trail from Lukla onwards. The trek provides an insight into the many traditional aspects of the lives of the different ethnic groups of the area -- Tamang, Kami, Brahmins, Kshetri & Sherpa.

One of the highlights on the way to Lukla is the overnight stop at Junbesi, the oldest Sherpa settlement in the Solu Khumbu. An hour above Junbesi lays the monastery of "Tupten Chholing" with the villages of Mabung and Pangkarma, which are places to visit on route.

The journey from Jiri to Lukla is up and down. People usually arrive in Lukla in very good shape expecting next to come by.

From Lukla we follow the itinerary as described in our Lukla to Lukla tour.
