~ ~ In the Footsteps of Prince Charles ~ ~

Old Nepal hands remember the designing of this trek by British Colonel, Jimmy Roberts who invented trekking in Nepal. He designed it for his Prince Of Wales in the foothills of The Western Himalayas where the personage could walk in timelessness and contemplate his future.

So spectacular was the scenery, so romantic the atmosphere that on returning to Britain the Prince married Diane. You don’t travel high on this trek but the Himalayas surround you and a joyous people convey a sense of peace and tradition. The trek is short. But the memories live forever.
