I am forming a team to go trekking in Nepal 2012 next year.
.
After much discussion with Mr Cheban, the trekking agent in Nepal, I have decided to trek at Langtang (5,000m).
.
Plan date: 13 to 28 October 2012
.
Duration: 16 days (with 13 days of trekking to explore the valleys, lakes, magnificent views of the ice-capped Himalayan mountains)
.
If you are interested, do indicate/contact me at:
Minimum Fitness and Altitude Requirements:
1. You have trekked up to 4,000 meters or higher (eg. Mount Kinabalu)
2. Good fitness level and active (that you like trekking or running)
3. You must be able to attend a minimum of three group trainings (by 31 Dec 2011) for selection process into the team
4. Age limit applies
.
Ballpark or estimates of trekking fees: less than USD 1,000 (included hotels, lodges, guides, porters, meals, transport). To determine more accurate fees next year.
.
The other good season to trek in Nepal is in spring (mid-March to mid-April); alternatively, if you could only go in spring, form another group and go in spring of 2012.

Note: for the 16-day trekking, you only need to apply 9 working days' leaves (26 Oct 2012 is a holiday)
