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 Mt. Everest (Chhomolungma)
8848m. 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 tale to share with their
family and your friends. |
