  • 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.

  • 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.

North of Kathmandu, closest to the capital is the Langtang area, a natural paradise. The trek starts with an overland journey to Syabru Bensi where we stay overnight. The following four days are full of beautiful scenery with forests of oak, rhododendron and pine slotted between ancient settlements. Above the tree line the valley widens providing splendid views of Langtang Lirung (7400 meters). It is mainly a gradual climb passing through the major settlement of Langtang and onwards to our trekking destination.

An extra day is spent here for taking in the high mountain scenery and further exploration of the extensive glacier system. The terrain changes quite dramatically as we travel towards the Gosainkunda Lake with the landscape becoming more barren and scrub like. A peaceful evening and early morning are spent in a lodge by one of the Sacred Lakes before we need to negotiate the Lauribina pass (4700 m). After crossing the pass there is a steep decent in the morning to lunch with some interesting little ups and downs in the afternoon towards Gopte cave.

 

A final three days of trekking through the heart of the Helambu region, one of the highlights being a wonderful vantage point; a couple of hours on from Gopte cave for a tremendous vista of hundreds of miles of the Nepal Himalaya. The trek goes all the way to Lauribina pass and eventually ends at Sundarijal.
