Why not try the adventure over several days?

Going on a trek will allow you to discover a region and to experience one or several nights in a refuge. The atmosphere of the group will motivate you, the trek will bring you close to nature and you will begin to respect it and live at the same rythmn.

Tour of Mont-Blanc

In the Alps, we call the trekkings raids. I propose some raids, either during the week or at the weekend. For example, the famous tour of the Mont Blanc or the tour of Cervin which is more difficult to access.

Next to these giant mountains, there exist less well-known trekking paths where you can be isolated and peaceful. Empreinte Montagne, through its guide, invites you to discover these giants, in all their glory, or the small, hidden paths of the mountains. As well as discovering these famous tracks, the hiking is accessible to everyone and you can also discover the magnificant route from the bottom of the mountain to the top.

TREKKING IN NEPAL

I propose five to you large trekking from seven days duration in one month.

The Himalayan Republic Nepal is a sovereign independent Asian country, lies between 80.4' and 88.12' East longitude and 26.22' and 30.27' North altitude. It is bounded on the North by Tibet Antonymous Region of the China, on the East by Sikkim and West Bengal of the Indian Union, on the South by Indian State of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and on the West by Uttar Pradesh of the Indian Union. The length of the country is 885 Kilometers East-West and the breath varies from 145 to 241 kilometers North-South. Climatically it lies in the temperate zone with the added advantage of altitude. Except for some exceptions, there are seldom less than 1220 meters above the sea level. Nepal can be divided into three main Geographical regions. The Himalayan Region is the altitude range between 4877 meters to 8848 meters. The Mountain Region account for about 64 percent of the total land area. It is formed by the Mahabharat range that soars up to 4877 meters. Churia Range (altitude varies from 610 meters to 1524 meters) lies in the South. The Terai Region is the low-land region which has width of about 26 to 32 kilometers and the altitude maximum of 305 meters occupies about 17 percent of the total land of the country. Kachanakawal, the lowest point of the country with an altitude of 70 meters in Jhapa District of Eastern Terai.

Sublimate country of high mountain, country of the smile and kindness. To leave to make a trek in the Himalayas between Nepal and Tibet, it is a little to approach the sky. To go on these paths of altitude, it is to go with enthusiasm, effort, it is to go to the meeting of the others, but also of oneself even…

Country of smiles, country of various beliefs, but especially country of Himalayan Buddhism. To leave in trekking to Nepal is to initially take time, time for oneself and time for the others. One returns resource and disagreement then from there… Small kingdom wedged between two giants who are China and India, Nepal opens with the democracy following the elections which took place there is little. In this true “Mecque” of the trekking, the majority of the routes suggested are satisfied to follow paths marked out and attended by travellers of the whole world.

Among these five treks proposed, two rare and splendid routes, to discover a still authentic Nepal. I in particular invite you to leave with me to recognize beautiful a 28 days exploration on the side of Mustang and Tibet to discover a valley still little explored…
