Trekking in Nepal |
Trekking is the gift of Nepal to the world in
adventure tourism. To be one with Nature, to
regenerate one's own self-esteem, to rediscover
oneself, to appreciate Nepal's beauty, to
interact with its hospitable and friendly people
are some of the highlights of trekking in Nepal.
Trekking is one long-term activity that draws
repeat visitors to the country. Therefore, Nepal
is the ultimate destination for the trekking
enthusiast. It offers a myriad of |
|
|
|
possibilities - from the "short and easy" walking excursions to
the "demanding and strenuous" challenges of the snowy peaks and
their foothills and valleys. But however easy, moderate, or
strenuous, there is something for every palate that goes with
trekking in Nepal's hills, mountains and hinterlands. The most
rewarding way to experience Nepal's indomitable combination of
natural beauty and cultural riches is to walk through the
length, breadth and the altitudes of Nepal. Trekking in Nepal is
as much a unique cultural experience as well as an ultimate
Himalayan adventure. |

landscape is well forested with long ridges, dry, yet
extremely poor - that is until you reach Pokhara Valley
and tranquil Pokhara Lake. Historically, this region of
Nepal has |

remarkable in the himalya with sweeping views stretching
to the arid Tibetan plateau. Trekking here offers a real
adventure, in a remote, unspoiled. |
