Suggeted Packages
Primarily designed for eco-camping experience, the NCC is a 14 to 16 day circuit trek starting at Shivalaya and ending at Those, Ramechhap. Highly experienced and short duration visitors can customize the NCC package to less than and up to 13 days, particularly by skipping overnight stays at Panipakha, Gumdel and Those. Interesting side treks of the ‘Numbur Cheese Trek' include Baula Pokhari, the isolated valley of Khola Cire, and the natural Buddhist shrine at Kau Chorten near Ngeju. NCC could also be a strategic launch for an adventure trek to Rolwaling region via Likhu Nup glacier and to the Everest region via Kalla Pass below the Ngeju Kharka. Besides these itineraries, various customized packages can also be developed as per the interest and time of the visitor. This trek is a real expedition into a wilderness area, with strategically located eco-camping sites. The trek can also be done in reverse.
