Our purpose at Eco-friendly Trekking is to bring
people together who share a love and appreciation of Nature, to help them to
venture more deeply into the natural world, and to take them into places they
might not have discovered on their own. |
 |
We seek to narrow the gap between humans and the
natural world, between cultures, and between individuals by facilitating
small-group excursions into awe-inspiring natural landscapes and mind-opening
cultural encounters. Some of our participants sign up for the physical
challenge, and some go for a retreat from the frenetic pace and material
trappings of urban life. Whether your motives are athletic, spiritual, or
somewhere in between, the natural result of time spent in the wilderness is a
deep sense of respect, appreciation, and interdependence.
Nepal is
the most happening incentive travel destination in the world with an
exhilarating blend of unique ethnicity proudly preserved. Amusing, enchanting
adventure, and remarkable natural beauty will be much to worth to see and
experience. The great culture, people, tradition, and ancient traditional
hospitality is an added bonus, of course.
