Selected tour in focus: Nar-Puh with one of the highest lakes in the world, the Tilicholake
The panorama during the hikes is amazing: the mountains in Nepal are simply gigantic. Where they end here, they begin in Nepal – at alpine level, we speak of “hill country” and the actual Himalayas comprise eight of the fourteen 8,000-metre peaks in the world.
When you stand on a 5000-meter peak in Nepal – the mountains are called trekking peaks – and then let your gaze wander over 3 km upwards, you will never forget it again in your life! In general, Nepal has addictive potential – you come here once on vacation or again and again. There are many repeat offenders. We were also caught by the Nepal virus and we are always drawn back to this small country with the high, white mountain giants and the friendly Nepalese people.
The people there in general: nowhere else in the world have we found so many friendly, helpful and happy people. The Nepalese may be poor in a material sense, but they are rich on the inside. They are much less stressed than we are and are always smiling.
We love the mountains and the people, but also the culture: there are many Unesco World Heritage Sites – old royal cities, temples and monasteries. Listening to the monks’ prayers and mantras with a cup of butter tea at dawn in the Tengboche monastery in the Everest region is a very special experience. Or when a herd of yaks announces itself with bells, carrying blue expedition barrels on the left and right of their bodies. They are large, majestic animals that feel at home in the high altitudes of the Himalayas.
The landscape is lush and green at the beginning of our trek, in spring the rhododendrons bloom white, pink and red… as the altitude increases, nature becomes sparser. But the villages with their green or blue painted roofs catch the eye. Finally, the high white mountains and everywhere the prayer flags fly in blue, white, red, green and yellow.
You have to see it with your own eyes, feel the wind in your hair, hear the sounds along the way and smell the delicious milk tea on the clay stove… Nepal is a feast for all the senses.
