Trekking, Hiking, Expedition
With its diverse landscapes and rich culture, Nepal is the best place to trek on the planet. Nestled in the Himalayas, the country is home to eight of the world’s fourteen 8,000+ metre peaks – it is literally the roof of the world. Exploring Nepal on foot can be challenging, but also highly rewarding.
While mountaineers summit the peaks, trekkers explore the mountain ranges. In Nepal these include Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, Langtang, Ganesh Himal, Dolpo, Mustang, Kanchenjunga, Rara, Dhaulagiri and many more.
The trekking experience in Nepal is a well-earned journey. You’ll follow magnificent trails through villages, across rivers and over mountains. Of the adventure activities available, trekking is by far the most popular. It is the best way to experience the variety of natural beauty and the rich cultural heritage.
You can take on anything from a day hike to trekking for a month or longer. There are easy paths, extreme trails and everything in between. You can trek in well populated areas or head far off the beaten track into the wilderness. Ultimately trekking in Nepal is suitable to all interests, experience and most fitness levels.
Reaching the top of a mountain, traversing a ridge, or reaching a high pass is rewarded with spectacular views of Himalayan mountains. But getting there is just as beautiful! You’ll pass through villages in the shadow of towering snow-covered peaks, walk through verdant valleys or even jungle, and hike around imposing glaciers and inviting lakes.
You can trek Nepal independently, but choosing a guided tour has many benefits and will make the most of your time. Accommodation options range from camping and basic tea houses to more comfortable lodges and hotels, but don’t expect five-star luxury. With thousands of routes to choose from there’s trekking in Nepal to suit everyone with breath taking views all around.
