Lama Treks & Expedition

Sailung Trekking

Discover the Hidden Gems of Nepal

Embark on an unforgettable journey to a secluded and pristine region of Nepal, far from the usual tourist trails. This trek takes you to the summit of Thulo Sailung (3200m), where you’ll be rewarded with panoramic views of the majestic Himalayan range, stretching from Makalu to Dhaulagiri. What sets this trek apart is the unique opportunity to glimpse the Terai, Nepal’s lowland region, and catch a rare view of the world’s highest peak, Mt. Everest (8848.86m).

As you traverse the rugged terrain, you’ll walk along spectacular ridges and encounter the Tamang community, an indigenous Buddhist group. Their unique blend of Buddhist Lamaism and Shamanist Bon culture adds a rich cultural dimension to your adventure. It’s not uncommon to find both a Lama and a Jhankri (shaman) in the villages, offering a glimpse into their spiritual practices.

Beyond the Tamang community, you’ll meet various ethnic groups, each with their own socio-economic conditions, lifestyles, and professions. This trek offers a wide range of exploration opportunities, with itineraries that can be customized to fit your schedule, whether you prefer a short or long adventure.
