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 200,000 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.
