Most of the other trekking routes in Nepal could possibly be classified as 'off the beaten track'. There are very few travellers, facilities are often very very basic, but the experiences are astounding.
Most famous of these treks will be the one in Dolpo, in the Kanchenjunja Area, Gorkha, etc. We conduct these treks strictly on request, but we have also developed some of our own, chief amongst them being a Chepang Route, which is a 2.5 day trek to Chitwan National Park, through the old trade route from the south. This and some other treks are described here, meant for those who like going 'off' the beaten tracks.

Small group adventure::moderate trekking
   From GBP 1600 onwards( maximum 6 people)
12 days trek
 Lo Manthang – the name itself conjures up a sense of mystique, and that is what you get. Trekking in the area, walking in the villages, meeting the inhabitants, savouring the local sights and sounds, is completely magical. It’s the thinner air (aboave 3000 meters), the simple friendly people, the stark mesmerizing moonscape, the deeply pious mystique that emanates from deep rooted Buddhism, or something, but it’s there, and you can feel it.
No photographs adequately capture what you see, and no words can really describe what you experienced on this trip. It is something that stays with you forever – your journey and yours alone. Enough said! A trip into Upper Mustang is a trip of a lifetime! You will never forget it.

 About 150 years ago, Nepal fought Tibet over salt, and some of the biggest areas where this war took place is in the Langtang Region of Nepal, wherein lies the third most popular trekking trail in Nepal. This area is connected to Tibet and the trails in this region were used by traders from Tibet bartering in Salt and mountain goats for meat (changra) with foodstuffs from the south. Developed by the Tourism for Rural Poverty Alleviation Program, the "Tamang Heritage Trail" is the newly developed tourism product, off the beaten track, which highlights an ancient lifestyle combining it with picturesque scenery and healing baths in natural hot springs.
