Remote Area Trekking in Nepal
The vast majority of trekkers in Nepal walk in just four regions‚ Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu and Langtang. The reason being is that these regions have a network of lodges that feed and accommodate trekkers. Venture away from these areas and it becomes necessary to camp and be self sufficient in food, fuel and tents.
Obviously camping is not as comfortable as lodging. But there are some compelling reasons to do a camping trek:
- The trails are far less crowded than those in lodge areas
- Camping treks visit remote regions far off the beaten track
- Camping treks visit areas that are authentic and unaffected by mass tourism.
Forsaking a few comforts is the price you pay to have a unique “off the beaten track” remote experience.
On Remote Camping treks we dispense with large, heavy dining tents, tables and chairs and use a smaller dining tent and sit on comfortable mattresses to eat, Nepali style.
With less and lighter equipment we require less crew. Many of our camp sites are very small and not conducive to setting up a large camp. In addition, once you move off the main trails and away from tourist hordes, as we do on this trek, management of crew and the ability to move the entire camp on a daily basis becomes more complex. Being a small lightweight team means being efficient and moving quickly.
On a Remote Camping trek you will still travel very well. Our cook prepares tasty and wholesome meals 3 times a day. Normal large tents (2 trekkers per tent), toilet tents, dining tents and all mess utensils are provided. Our crew is responsible for all camp duties. Your only task is to walk and enjoy your holiday.
Back Track has three camping treks‚ Hidden Annapurna, Dolpo and Kanchenjunga. Hidden Annapurna is along remote trails on the southern flanks of the Annapurna Range. We know of no other trekking companies that do this trek and not only are there no other trekkers, for 9 of this 14 day trek there are no villages resulting in a trek of solitude plus sensational mountain views.
Our Dolpo trek is in the Tibetan influenced, wild west of Nepal. Part of this trek follows the Great Himalaya Trail along an ancient trade route visiting remote settlements and includes 2 nights camped beside the legendary Phoksumdo Lakes, one of the most beautiful sights in Nepal.
Kanchenjunga is the 3rd highest mountain on the planet and our trek takes us to the stunning North Kangchenjunga Base Camp. In addition we wander up the Yangma Khola, one of the remotest areas in Nepal. This is a trek of alpine forests, Tibetan culture, big mountains and quiet trails.
