Small group adventure :: one to six people
From GBP 965 per person (minimum 6 person)
20 days
On this trip, we combine a 14 day trek in the picturesque Langtang Region, portions of which will be in high altitudes, with a doctor controlled daily nutrition regimen during the trek, which will ensure that the effects of the exercise during the trip will be long lasting. Most of the foods in the villages of Nepal are organic, and the doctor will determine what suits your condition the best. We also include some meditation and Yoga techniques during the trek. OK, we also reward you in the end with a Jungle Safari in Chitwan (when you can reflect on really changing your lifestyle now, or recover back the lost weight)
Best Time: End Sep – End April
Rest assured, you will come back from the trek reinvigorated and feeling healthier than before; ready to start a new purer lifestyle. We then reward you with a luxurious elephant safari holiday at a Jungle Resort in the Chitwan National Park and combine this with some level of meditation or yoga, so that your re-entry into “normal” life will be smooth and perhaps start a new healthier routine.
The basic package includes the Langtang trek which is rich in culture and situated in the third most popular area for trekking in Nepal, unparalleled for its natural beauty. Trekking options to the Annapurna or the Everest Region are also available and will involve slight price modifications to account for the additional transportation charges in these areas.
Health extensions for those who want more exercise includes rafting, mountain biking, paragliding, rock climbing etc.
