Overview
A freshly opened non-tourist area trekking path in the shadow of Numbur Chuli is called the Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking. It is the perfect excursion for anyone looking to experience something different. This recently created trekking path is located in Ramechhap district of Nepal, around 190 kilometers east of Kathmandu. The path goes to the Likhu Khola glacier, guarded by the imposing peaks of Pathibarra and Numburchuli, via deep river gorges, glacial lakes, terraced rice fields, subtropical woods, and Sherpa communities.
This trek provides breathtaking views of the majestic Himalayan peaks, including Numburchuli (6959m), Sarmoche (5255m), Ramdung (5930m), Chukyima Go (6959), Parchamo (6273m), Bigphrea Go Nup (6666m), Paniyo Tippa (6696m), Paniyo Shar (6549m), Everest range, Annapurna South, Langtang, Jugal Himal, and Gaurishankar.
This trip ascends the Likhu Khola valley to the secluded yak meadows of Ngeju, tucked beneath the icefall cascading from the revered summit of Numbur. While you stroll, you pass Sherpa villages, subtropical woods, rice terraces, glacier lakes, and river gorges. Also, you can go to the renowned Thodung monastery, one of Nepal’s first cheese manufacturers, established in 1957.
En route, you will come across Panch Pokhari, which translates to five lakes in Nepali language. It is a holy and sacred site for Hindus and Buddhists religion people. Hindu pilgrims visit the site during the Janai Purnima festival. Similarly, you will also cross the Gyazo-La Pass at 4,880 meters. It is also the highest point of the 13 Days Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking. Stunning mountains like Gyajo Ri, Cho Oyo, Everest, Nangpa La, and others mountains surround the Gyazo-La Pass.
The trek is perfect for experiencing the off-the-beaten trails of rural Nepal. The Numbur Cheese Circuit Trek offers a rich cultural experience, allowing you to look deeper into the Sherpa community’s culture, traditions, and lifestyle. You will also taste the delightful Numbur cheese and watch the cheese-making process. Furthermore, you can experience the unique hospitality of the Sherpas.

Numbur Cheese Circuit Trek Difficult
The Numbur Cheese Circuit Trek is a newly opened route whose off-beat trails go through the Likhu Khola glacier. It is a moderate trek that requires good physical fitness, stamina, and endurance. The trails go uphill and downhill with some steep and narrow sections. Similarly, trekkers have to walk 5 to 6 hours on varied terrains. It can be physically demanding and challenging, especially for beginners.
The trek’s highest point is at Gyazo-La Pass, which sits at 4,880 meters. Because of the high altitude, there is a risk of altitude sickness during the trek. Our 13-day Numbur Cheese Circuit Trek itinerary has no acclimatization days. It further increases the risk of altitude sickness. Trekkers must ascend slowly, stay hydrated, and rest properly to minimize the risk.
Likewise, the trek region lies in a remote area lacking infrastructure and facilities. Trekkers must manage their expectations and build mental resilience for the trek. The rapidly changing weather of high-altitude regions may also create difficulty for trekkers. Hence, trekkers must prepare the necessary equipment and gear to tackle any weather conditions. With proper preparation, Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking is doable by seasoned trekkers or beginners.
Best Time For Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking
The best time for our 13-day Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking is spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November). These seasons offer the best weather and mild temperatures for trekking. During summer (June to August), there is heavy pouring across the country as it coincides with monsoon. Meanwhile, the harsh weather and freezing temperatures make it difficult to trek during winter.
Spring (March-May)
The spring season brings pleasant and favorable weather for trekking in Nepal. The sky is clear and offers clear mountain views and scenery. The days are also long and sunny. Another great thing about spring trekking is witnessing active flora and fauna. It is the perfect time to see the entire rhododendron forests and flower beds in full bloom. The warmest temperature during spring is 12 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the coldest temperature is in early March, which is around -1 degrees Celsius.
Autumn (September-November)
Autumn is a peak trekking season due to stable weather, bright days, and clear skies. The visibility is the best of all other seasons. You can get crystal-clear views of the gleaming snow peaks. Since it is peak trekking season, autumn falls right after the monsoon season, and the rain cleanses the dust and impurities from the surroundings. Hence, the vegetation and landscapes look vibrant and fresh. The warmest temperature in autumn can get up to 13 degrees Celsius. Similarly, the temperature can get as low as -1 degrees Celsius.

Additional Trip Information
Accommodation
Accommodations on the Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking route include teahouses, lodges, and homestays. Nepal Alternatives will arrange your accommodation on a twin-share basis. Since the trek routes are in remote areas, these accommodations only offer basic facilities. They provide beds, mattresses, bed sheets, pillows, and blankets.
The bathrooms are also usually communal and squat-styled. Accommodations in lower regions can have rooms with attached and Western-style bathrooms. Although the accommodations may be basic, they are safe and cozy. You can also get a glimpse of the local’s rural lifestyle.
Our 13-day Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking covers the stay, but trekkers must pay for the extra costs. Accommodations charge additional fees for hot showers, internet, phone calls, and charging devices.
Meals
A healthy and nutritious diet during the 13 Days Numbur Cheese Circuit Trekking is crucial to energize you. Thankfully, a wide variety of food options are available. We provide three meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with tea/ coffee during the trek.
The meal options include oatmeals, porridge, pancakes, cornflakes, bread, chapati, dal bhat, curries, roti, noodles, soup, stews, sandwiches, pasta, salad, momo, thukpa, and more. The teahouses source the ingredients locally and prepare them fresh. We recommend you stick to vegetarian meals as the meat may not be hygienic or fresh. It is also best to avoid dairy products, caffeine, chocolate, and alcoholic beverages.
Please let us know if you have any dietary restrictions before the trek or during booking. We will make the arrangements accordingly.

13 Days Manaslu Trek !
My friend and I were lucky to find Tej online before visiting Nepal. We knew we wanted to do a trek, but we weren’t sure exactly which trek. Tej sent us a bunch of itineraries for different treks and we chose the Manaslu circuit. When we arrived our guide, Kumar, was waiting for us at the airport and Tej was able to get us all our permits for the trek done in less than 2 hours which was great. The manaslu trek was absolutely amazing! We were super happy with our whole trip and we were lucky to be able to make the pass even though we saw dozens of other people who had to turn back because of the weather. We are already looking forward to going back next year at the same time to trek Everest and we will definitely use Tej again!

,USA3 Weeks Personal Retreat
“Nepal Alternative Trek addressed my needs according to my schedule and agenda. I stayed most of the time at his home-stay, shuttling between home and the places that I wanted to visit. Tej, the boss behind Nepal Alternative Trek, helped to make my stay in Kathmandu comfortable and productive. He walked me to the monasteries that I wanted to visit and even picked me up when I needed a ride back home.
The home-stay is hosted by his wife and I got to experience living with a Nepalese family, sharing their food, space and laughter.
For the home-stay:
1) Meals available upon request
2) Family get together and chats
3) Regular change of bed-sheets and towels
4) Free WIFI
5) Near Swayambhu and Thamel
6) Safe environment
7) Mountainous forest behind home
8) Walking distance to beautiful monasteries
9) Away from hustle and bustle of towns yet easy to get to town
I left the home-stay with a smile.
All the best,

Singapore River, Singapore6 Months Of Preparation For ABC Trekking
Goal was achieved 4130 meter and 0 degree celsius, Annapurna Base Camp Trek. It was 6 months of preparation. It was challenging target for us. We had dense forest, mountain, and completely wilderness above the treeline, it was windy and terrain . There is a huge support team. Without them it would not be possible. We can do it , we just have to give time and practice. Mr. Gurung Ji, you with your entire 7 of team were wonderful. They were always ready to help us.
Thanks Mr. Gurung ji for all the support, and guidance that made the trip successful. While all of us focused on Mountain, big thing but there were so many beautiful things along the way, stream, flowers, flora, so many birds I took pictures. So, in summary, phenomenal, success and our confidence there. We know, we can do more and higher in next what bigger thing.

India8 days non trek city tour and 21days trek to EBC and chola pass
We love nepal and made 3 time visit to this beutiful country and rich culture. This time last year we came with 6 pax and visited Kathmandu , Pohkara and chitwan with a stay of 2 night in each place. We flew to Pohkara and got the van to chitwan and flew to Kathmandu. Tej arranged all transports overland and flights for us. We did not asked for a local guide but it was all smooth and no problem. We are happy with the service provided by Tej and he made all efforts to make us happy. His company performed professional with the very reasonable pricing. We encountered some small problem with the van transporting us back from nagarkot to kathmandu airport. This van was quite small and it came to pick up quite late that we almost missed the flight to pohkara. We told Tej about this and he must take care of this outsourced van company. Anyway the van in pohkara and to chitwan was excellent , big and comfy. So he has corrected the mistake.
Part 2 was our trek to EBC and chola pass for 21 nights. Tej arranged for flight and guide plus porter. For this trekking it was only me and my wife travelling together. We are about 50 years and used the service of 2 porters cause we bought a lot of dry food plus chocolate. We are difficult persons in terms of foreign food. Our guide Ammer and 2 porters are fabulous. They took care of us very well like we are part of their family.
Overall we strongly recommend this company. They are good and not high expensive tag. We will use their service again in June to trek in Langtang. Rocky

Bangkok, ThailandA great experience on the Annapurna Circuit
We had a fantastic experience on the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Alternative Treks. Tej, the manager, was helpful, professional and efficient in dealing with our requirements and amendments, the arrangements worked smoothly and the information provided to us was excellent. Our guide Kul was brilliant. He was friendly, knowledgable and experienced and took changes in our itinerary in his stride. Our trekking experience was much better with his help in everything from planning the stages of the route to organising our food and accommodation. Just one warning: he is an ace card player and will probably beat you hands down!

UKA wonderful and interesting trek overall
A wonderful & interesting trek overall. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances ( heavy snow fall & Lie ping with a bad cold) we were unable to cross the Ganja la pass. However, our guide Simbir offered us as alternative trek which took us on a difference journey of Nepal. We had the opportunity to visit & stay in many local villages and meet Tamang, Gurung people experience, their lifestyle and culture. We visited our guide’s home town of Chalishgaun and timed it right to join in with Diwali celebrations!

USAA trip worth of a lifetime!
Attempting Everest base camp trekking for me & my group was taking it to the next level. Before this, our limits were Kedarnath, MadMaheshwar & Tunganath with max distances of 18-19 kms spread over 2-3 days. Moreover, these tracks are such that people doesn’t necessarily have to trek. They have the option of ponies. EBC involves a lot for people like us (acclimatization to altitude, strength etc.), but above all, you need someone to provide logistical support, moral support that it can be done. This is where Nepal Alternative Treks does a great job. They organized it very well, guides and porters provided were very reliable and cost is reasonable when you compare to others. They can customize your travel plan according to your need.

IndiaA Trek in Ruby Valley !
A few weeks ago we went on a trip to Nepal, accompanied by a couple of friends who were on their second trip with Nepal Alternative Trek. Our first goal was to trek to the village of Chalish in Ruby Valley. We decided to go with the services of Nepal Alternative Trek to take us up there. We went there partly by jeep, partly walking through the cultivated terraces, meeting the inhabitants of the different communities who worked there.
I must say that the service that Tej offered us was perfect on all lines. First of all, before our departure, months before, Tej always answered our many questions (luggage, temperature, route to be revised, etc.) Always within 24 hours, he answered with a lot of patience.
All the equipment we thought we would need was available at his office.
Our guide Ammar led us to destination with confidence and professionalism. He knew all the trails, and especially all the shortcuts to avoid us having to go up or down too much along our road. He has managed all the difficulties we have encountered: due to personal reasons, we had to change and our itinerary, and our calendar, and he made everything possible. The whole team adapted to our changes. Our guide contacted Tej who orchestrated the changes without us even having to deal with anything.
The porters were attentive and were always in front of our needs.
Our journey continued towards Bandipur with the driver who made us know the various interesting points, from sunrise to sunset, making detours to take us to the most famous places. Then a 2 days stay in Chitwan, and return to Kathmandu again where the driver carried us without calculating from one place to another – God knows that traffic in Kathmandu, Bakhtapur and Patan can be complicated.
Thanks to Tej, and the whole Nepal Alternative Trek team. We will remember forever that amazing experience.
