Adventure Travelers Can Combine Treks To Cross The Tibetan Regions Of Nepal

Indeed the western regions, even today, remain Nepal’s wildest. The Tibetan word for pilgrimage means literally ‘going around places’ and such journeys are undertaken for not only religious merit but the pursuit of knowledge.”  -excerpts by David Snellgrove from his book ‘Himalayan Pilgrimage’
It has been said that at least once in a lifetime everyone should experience Nepal on foot and we at One World Trekking Adventure Travel (http://www.oneworldtrekking.com) agree! Starting in Fall 2010, we’re offering a series of treks that not only allow travelers to experience Nepal on foot, but to actually walk across Nepal on foot!
In 1956—a few years after Nepal opened its borders to foreign visitors - adventurer David Snellgrove embarked on an epic trek across the Tibetan-speaking regions of Nepal. Traveling more than 1,000 miles over a span of seven months, he journeyed from the plains of India to cross the high mountain passes of Dolpo, Mustang, NarPhu, Annapurna and Manaslu. Snellgrove's book, titled 'Himalayan Pilgrimage,' is an insightful and valuable resource for adventurers planning a visit to these secluded regions of Nepal that even today remain relatively little-traveled.  Snellgrove's groundbreaking journey has inspired us to create our new Himalayan Pilgrimage Series. Starting with the Dolpo & Snow Leopard Trek this September 7 to October 5, 2010 (Outside Magazine Trip of the Year 2010, http://oneworldtrekking.com/dolpo-trek.htm), we will offer you a selection of epic trekking trips that can be undertaken individually, or combined, to complete a traverse of the remote, Tibetan-inhabited lands of northern Nepal.
In 2011 the trekking series continues with two unique and exciting itineraries. East of Dolpo lies the Buddhist regions of Mustang, the Annapurna Circuit and the lost valleys of NarPhu. From September 2 to 28, 2011 our new NarPhu Valleys to Mustang Traverse (http://oneworldtrekking.com/narphu-mustang-trek.htm) will lead us first along the famous Annapurna Circuit and then north into the Lost Valley of NarPhu. Hidden by swirls of mountain mist, the magnificent panoramic view of the Annapurna massif appears remote and forbidding as we journey farther into the land around it. From this seemingly ancient Tibetan region we then make a high and wild traverse over the recently opened Teri La Pass (18,200 feet) and into the Kingdom of Mustang. 

The 8,000 meter peak of Manaslu is certainly the focal point of our October 2 to November 3, 2011 unique and seldom-traveled itinerary that links the extraordinary circuit around Manaslu with a traverse of the northern Annapurna Range (http://oneworldtrekking.com/manaslu-trek.htm). The trek culminates with a high and challenging cross over the Thorong La Pass at 17,765 feet. 
Each trip in One World Trekking’s Himalayan Pilgrimage Series will be led by an experienced Western trekking guide and fully-supported by a team of Sherpa guides, cooks and support crew. Sign up for one or sign up for them all and secure your spot to experience Nepal the way it is best experienced: on foot.
