Style of the trek in the Nepal-Himalayas.

(1) Teahouse Trek: It means, during the trek staying at local inns on the trail. For this type of trek a guide, who'll show you the way and find the best food & accommodation for you and the porters will carry all your personal baggage. We operate teahouse treks to Annapurna, Everest, Langtang, Gosaikunda, Helambu and Kathmandu Valley Rim.

There are three major areas in Nepal where it is possible to walk on very well defined trails and stay at local tea houses which vary from two storey hotels to small family homes. Three major region for teahouse trek are Annapurna, Langtang and Everest. You can eat, and sleep in the tea houses so you do not need to carry any camping equipment or food. You meet many other trekkers but this is a very sociable environment. All the tea houses are run Nepalese people so do not think you are missing out on opportunities to mix with local people. This is where having a guide is a great benefit. Although there is often no need to have a guide for navigational purposes, they are worth their weight in gold when it comes to making sure you have a full experience of the best Nepal has to offer. Nepalese people by nature have patience and an enthusiasm for life envied and respected by nearly all visitors to Nepal. They can help with choosing good tea houses and making the opportunity of experiencing more typical Nepalese life in local farms or schools. All of our guides have good knowledge of the area you are trekking in and good communication skill. All you need to bring for a tea house trek are warm clothes for the evening, a water bottle, a camera and a good sleeping bag. (see the Clothing / gears). Satyam Tours & Travel provide a guide and porter, all the permits, transfers, air tickets, food and accommodation for both you and your guide and porter.

(2) Tented camp trek: It means that you'll trek with all necessary camping gear. You'll have a guide who leads the group & manage the day to day procedures. The cooks, porters and their assistance will provide you all your meals and as well carry everything .The big advantage of Tented camp trek is that you can go or stay wherever you want. We operate tented camp treks to all trekking regions of Nepal.

A Tented Camp Trek is for those of you who do not want to be on the main trails and want to experience the joys of camping in more wilderness environments of Nepal. Our Tented Camp Trek involve going as a fully self sufficient team, with cooks, porters and a guide with all necessary trekking and camping gears. Tented Camp Trek with a good crew in Nepal can be described as a great experience, not an endurance exercise. Every morning, you have a hot cup of tea brought to you in bed and then a hot bowl of water for you to have a wash. The food that our team create over kerosene stoves deserves to go in its own best selling cook book, so do not expect to lose weight. An Tented Camp Trek is a great way to mix with Nepalese people. The team are fun and there is generally a couple of nights experiencing the local songs and dances of Nepal, when the porters and crew are in the mood. You will trek for anything from 4 to 6 hours a day bit at a relaxed pace and stopping enroots as and when necessary or appropriate to see local village life. While you trek you just carry a day sack for anything you may need during the day like a water bottle, camera and fleece.
