As many of you know the Maoists have have been in Nepal for the last four years causing a certain amount of unrest. To my knowledge no trekker or climber has ever been injured by this political group. They have, however, fought a guerilla battle with the police and military.

IME owner and veteran of 17 trips to Nepal - Rick Wilcox. During this unrest, Celia and I have traveled to Nepal a number of times. We have never actually met these Maoists but have talked with many people who have and they make the point that the Maoists are mostly after money and camera flashes from which to make detonators for bombs. They usually ask for 1,000 rupees ($13 USD) each to pass then give out a receipt so you are allowed to pass when you meet the next group. They have even been described as friendly. Most people run into them below 10,000 ft. There is a general cease fire in place now between the Maoists and the government. We feel that travel in Nepal is as safe as travel in Miami, FL. Celia and I have spent a lot of time in this area and have a few ideas to minimize any possibility of problems with the Maoists.
If you are interested in joining the trekking team please give us a call at
(603) 356-6316 to schedule a meeting so we can discuss details of the trip with you. We already have seven deposits for this trip and are looking for a group of 12-15 trekkers.
Land Cost $4,600
