Village Trek
Nepal is not only the Himalayas. It is also a land of hills and small villages.
The "Village Trek" is an experience in living the locals life style: cooking, working, and learning their customs and religions.
Discover a very different Nepal with a trek in the shadow of the Himalayas, visiting authentic villages where you meet families and experience the challenges of everyday life; living without electricity and with food that depends on the whims of the weather (corn, rice, wheat, millet, potatoes, varied vegetables…)
Despite their poor and difficult life the Nepalese always are ready to welcome you and share; their heart is opened to all widely and friendly.
The Village Trek will change how you see life…
