Dear Valued Clients:~The Kingdom of Nepal is a narrow sliver of land squeezed between burgeoning India to the south and the vast Tibetan plateau to the north. She rises from plain to plain, valley to valley, mountain to mountain - a precipitous staircase that ends at the roof of the world, the Abode of Snows. Eight of the world's 10 highest summits, including Mt. Everest, lie within her borders. At their base 50 ethnic groups work, play and worship, commonly celebrating 30 different festivals annually. The tiny nation is a living, cultural museum. For her size and population, Nepal is the least roaded country in the world. To see her, you must travel as her people do ~ on foot. We specialize in taking visitors trekking to remote areas of the country, giving them the chance to observe local people living their lives the way they have for centuries. We travel with care and respect, incorporating ecological and cultural conservation practices. Our company is guided by the conviction that it is possible to honor the beliefs, dignity and environment of our countrymen, while exchanging ideas and information on the outside world. Since its inception in 1984, Above the Clouds ~ Nepal has introduced thousands of people around the world to the spectacular high peaks of the Himalayas, from Nepal to Tibet to Bhutan. While most are drawn by the mountains, their lasting memories are of the extraordinary people who inhabit them. We invite you to join us, and create your own memories of this special come world. Few areas capture peoples' hearts and imagination like the Himalayas. For a free brochure with lots of information and colorful photos, please inquire here.
