Trekking in NEPAL

 |
|
Trekking is the best way to experience Nepal's
unbeatable combination of natural beauty and
culture. On beaten trails or virgin tracks,
Nepal is a trekker's paradise. The very organic
rhythm of foot travel is a wonderful way to
explore and make meaningful contact with the
country. On average, trekking consists of
walking daily 5 to 7 hours, 9 to 14 kilometers
on a series of ascents and descents. The immense
contrasts in altitude and climates found here,
support an equally spectacular mix of lifestyle
and wildlife. Nepal is a pioneer in the sport of
trekking. Known as the Himalayan Kingdom, Nepal
is dominated by eight of the world's fourteen
highest mountains, including Everest. Each one
is over 8000 meters (26,000ft). In all, there
are 1,310 peaks of 5000 meters (16,900ft) or
more. Annually, more than 200,00 tourists come
here to trek. You will experience superb
panoramic views of mountains, a diversity of
landscape, flora and fauna, colorful cultures,
friendly people and ancient history. Trekkers
leave Nepal with grand tales to share with their
family and friends.
