A Taste of Nepal
Discover the real Himalaya at your own pace!
Have you always dreamt of trekking in the Himalaya?
Perhaps you worry about your age or fitness? You don't want to rough it anymore.
A Taste of Nepal designs treks to suit everyone with maximum comfort built in. Durga Aran, a Nepali with a deep love of his homeland established 'A Taste of Nepal' with his Scottish partner Fionna Heiton in 2000. The aim was to show visitors the real Nepal whilst not compromising on quality service and comfort. Since then our business has grown and we plan to extend to Sikkim, Bhutan, Tibet and Northern India.

NEWS UPDATE
The government of Nepal has recently announced that all trekkers MUST now be accompanied by a guide from a registered trekking company. This means that independent trekking in Nepal is no longer an option. A Taste of Nepal caters for the independent trekker by tailor making treks to suit individual needs, keeping group size small and taking a slower pace than most other companies.
PUTTING SOMETHING BACK!
To date, along with generous supporters, we have constructed three clean drinking water systems in a remote area in Northern Nepal. Using a grass roots approach, with simple technology, we have brought clean drinking water and in some places sanitation to over 200 villagers. Other projects are planned to bring about sustainable long term benefits in partnership with the communities themselves.

We do not have a website as we have discovered word of mouth is the key to success. We are happy to forward the testimonials form many hapy clients. Contact us now for details! |
