Don't be put off Nepal

The unrest in Nepal does not preclude any trekking plans into the Himalayas. Two-thirds of the ranges are in Indian territory, and the Kingdom of Bhutan and Tibet or the Hindu Kush range of Pakistan are still accessible to travellers who want an adventurous holiday.

Tour company Imaginative Traveller has more than 30 departures scheduled to run before the end of this year.
