I know this is the Upcoming Treks page but let me just get in a quick word of thanks to our most recent trekkers.   The Pike Peak trek was marvelous this year with 2 nights in Pattale to kick off and then such clear skies that I think we saw Everest (and the rest) EVERY DAY!!  Thank you Lizzie, Sharon, Faseny, Chloe (Jeeptrekking.com) , Lynn and Ekki.   Top crew, top trek. Repeating 2020.

The Nepal Cultural Safari just gets better every year.  Thanks to Sharon and Faseny for ‘staying on’ and then Tamara and Lesley for joining our happy group.  Whether it was the crocodile swimming under our canoe in Chitwan or the dance floor of Club Amsterdam in Pokhara – we had a very fine time.

THIS COMING SEASON – October/November/December 2019:

October 10 we finally return to Langtang.  It has been a while.  The easier version is not too demanding but so beautiful.  The climb up to Gossainkund for the harder version will need a bit of stamina but the altitude is not extreme – and the beauty certainly is.   Itinerary below.

November 1 is the start date for Rukum District to Phoksundo.  This is a new trek for me and I have not done it myself yet.  So far 4 brave people have signed up to test the route with me.  Our long-time guides Lahar and Dorje tell me it is achievable at our pace as long as we plan carefully with jeeps, mules, tents, cooking facilities, etc. So we will. Other Dolpo treks are a bit more extreme. Trekking with Teresa – Camping!!!  Can’t quite believe it myself.   Trek Notes below.  More detailed itinerary after meeting with Lahar in March in Nepal.

Naturally,our highly-successful Nepal Cultural Safari will be running again this year. Lots of nature, lots of culture and, of course, some really good shopping! December 1 - 15, see below for details.

As I update this page I am in Melbourne and happy to meet with you, Phone 0498 681 655.  I will be in Nepal March 14 – 26 and then in Germany till early October. Email  teresadb@hotmail.com or vonschwichtenberg@gmail.com for more info.

Cheers,
