Gaurishankar Foothills Trek Overview

The stunning landscape and time-locked city of Lapchi Kang are true gems of Nepal’s middle hill region. Follow this exciting journey ( Gaurishankar Foothills ) as we trek over hills and valley, through remote villages and on old trails in the region that some of the very first expeditions to the Himalayas traversed. 

We begin our passage from Jiri and proceed along ridges and across rivers to enjoy spectacular views of 7000 m Mount Gaurishankar peak as well as incredible mountain panoramas from the Tinsang La. This trek is a great way to experience the age old culture of the region away from the vigorousness of city life.

Expect to accumulate a healthy amount of elevation without actually gaining much net elevation. We remain well below the tree line, with our highest point being at Tinsang La (3300 m). The smooth nature of the terrain requires active hiking capabilities and provides a good workout for the muscles.

There should be no issues related to acclimatization as we will not gain much net elevation. Gauri Shankar Foothills Trek is a moderate level trek that is also best for first-time hikers and regular trekkers.

Himalayan Trekkers promises to manage the best, most comfortable and preferable accommodation.

Generally, in cities like Kathmandu, we arrange basic three-star facilities. If available, you can opt for a more budget-friendly option or upgrade to a more luxurious hotel by paying a little extra. 

Although all the places might not have all the modern facilities, we will make sure to arrange safe and comfortable accommodation. In general, hygienic and safe tea houses/local lodges/ home-stays with all the basic facilities are arranged. But you can, if possible, personalize according to your preference. 

If your itinerary includes camping or you choose to experience camping during your travel, a proper camping-site will be pre-decided. If required, we also provide the basic equipment which is refundable. Please check the Gear-List for more information.

Meals

Breakfast is usually included with your B&B Accommodation within the cost that is evident.
For other meals in the city, you would have to pay separately. Often in the cities, you can choose from many different cuisines and varied food services. We can always help you find the right place to fit your taste.

In more remote areas, usually, there are not many options. But you can always find hygienic and well-prepared food. Moreover, almost all the meals during the trek are included in the cost. We can help you make changes according to your preference and budget, but only if choices are available!
