News Letter April, 2008

Situation in Nepal: On April 10, the first vote will be cast after nine years and with 74 parties, 17.5 million voters and over 60,000 observers, the stage is set to prepare a new Constitution. Highlander Jysk Service Center, Kathmandu had a busy time since, February promoting Ganesh Himal, Chepang Gaun and our favorites Bhairab Kunda Trek. Besides we worked hard on sending our clients to Bhutan as the Tibet is closed until the end of April. Tibet will open its doors again to foreign visitors on the 1st of May.

New Trekking Destinations: Our service guide for this season Mr. Mr.Jakob G. Andreasen had explored a new trekking routes ending at the last Resort in October-2007 in Bhairab Kunda area. Since then it has got famed and many guests had visited these site. Following with the time and spirit of the movement our Managing Director, Mr. Hari Dharel went to visit the site and he really liked it. We have renamed it as a J trek and started selling. For those people who have less time and want to explore the same cultures and landscape with the Bhairab Kunda trek then this would be perfect. It can be completed from 5-7 days.

Bhairab Kunda and J trek brief description

Your trail winds along an old trade route between Nepal and Tibet Border. Through a number of Newar village and unspoilt Buddhist villages, past chortens and Sherpa houses. The unusual climatic and geographical mixes make this area a naturalist's dream and a mecca for those who appreciate traditional cultures.

Along the trail you will experience spectacular views of mountains in Tibet. And the Jugal Himal section of the Himalayan Range, which includes the peaks of Dorje Lakpa (6966), Madiya (6257M) and Phurbi Ghhyachu (6637m).

This trek can be done all year round except for the monsoon months and can be combined with a Bunjy jumping and rafting in the world class river Bhote-Koshi.

Corporate Social responsibility: our Managing Director had personally visited the school that we support in Khanigaun; we have been paying the salary of the school teacher for the last 7 years. From this year the government is going to take care of the school teachers' salary therefore we would be supporting to improve the school infrastructures. If any one is interested to visit and support the school then Highlander will be happy to co-ordinate the project.
