Trekking in Nepal

Trekking in Nepal: A trek is walking at your own pace through well-established village trails whereby you will enjoy a close contact with people in remote mountain villages whose lifestyle has not changed for generations. Perhaps the most enjoyable part of a trek is the clean mountain air and magnificent views of the mighty Himalayan peaks.

Trekking in Nepal is the most popular activity in Nepal, and travelers will be bombarded on the streets of Kathmandu and the trekking hub, Pokhara, with guides, organized tours and gear for sale or rent. The huge variety of options allows for people of many ages and capabilities to attempt a trek in the country.

While you could spend a year planning an expedition to wild and lofty places that few would dare attempt, you could also arrive in Kathmandu with no plans and be on the trail in a matter of days.

Despite what many may think, Trekking in Nepal is not necessarily wandering alone through an uncharted wilderness. As they walk along the well-marked trekking paths, travelers will often discover quite the opposite; hundreds of locals passing through each day as they haul food, water, and other odd necessities back to their tiny villages, along with dozens of fellow trekkers.

The regularly-spaced villages and tea-houses allow trekkers good opportunities to rest and recover, either for a few minutes or the night. The strong culture and unreserved friendliness of the Nepalese people can also be witnessed as one traverses the hill tracks. Everest, Annapurna, Langtang Regions are most popular trekking routes in Nepal.
