Trekking
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. |
