Possible Tourism Acivities

NCC could be a genuine choice for wilderness seekers who are in quest for a circuit trekking package in relatively less visited areas. Visitors can experience the serene natural environment in two hidden valleys combined with exuberant cultural rituals. Trekkers can also reach up to the south face glacier of Numburchuili and hike through deep river gorges, terraced rice fields, temperate and sub-alpine forests, high summer pastures and experience a glacier walk on Lhiku valley.

Soft to adventurous eco-camping trek, rock climbing, high Himalayan wetland observation, wilderness walking through the deep forest, glacier walk, base-camp trekking, high pastures and Yak cheese experience,  Sherpa and Newar cultural experiences, spiritual rests at monasterys, biodiversity and climate change study, interaction with typical rural people through home-stay and if organized well in advance, some adventure sports like rock climbing and mountain biking would be some of the featured tourism activities in NCC. The mountain views are sensational and the Panchpokhari pass (4605m) and Gyajo La (Thulo Lapcha) pass (4880m) involve the most dramatic passes with views extending north into Tibet and south to Pikey Peak.
