There are many trekking agencies that can help organize a trek in
the Himalaya.  Before contacting any of them, you might want to
read the following books:

    Armington, Stan, TREKKING IN THE HIMALAYAS, 
	Lonely Planet, 1982.

    Bezruchka, Stephen, TREKKING IN NEPAL, 
	The Mountaineers, 1985.

These guidebooks describe the logistics of trekking and the various
styles available (from fully arranged through an agency to self
guided, live off the land).  They give detailed descriptions
of a variety of routes and explain many local customs.
