Trekking in nepal

The heartland of Nepal is far from any roads, and the only way to get there is by walking through endless ranges of hills. It’s a rewarding experience to join; local people and walk to remote village and the foot of the Himalayan peaks
Trekking in Nepal means a walking trip following trails. Many of which have been used for centuries. it is not mountaineering, although some of the popular trekking trails are used by mountaineering expeditions on their approach marches.- their length varies there are popular treks that only take a day and others that last a week or a month Nepal offers some of the most spectacular and beautiful scenery in the world .it has near monopoly on the world’s highest peaks-eight of the 10 highest are found here. Mountains flights may give you superb views, but there is absolutely nothing like waking up a crystal-clear Himalayan day and seeing an 8000m peak towering over you.
Trekking in Nepal is not like hiking through an uninhabited national park. Local people are constantly passing by on the trails, usually carrying extraordinarily heavy loads of unexpected items .Along many routes there are regularly spaced villages in which to pause and find shelter. In the village you can meet people from diverse ethnic groups. The warm outgoing nature, general friendliness and good humors of Nepalese are often noted by trekkers religious festivals can make trekking even more enjoyable and interesting.

Many years ago I trekked from Kathmandu to the Annapurna basecamp and it was a wonderful experience.

The Nepali people are very friendly and even though many lived in very modest housing, they could not have been more welcoming to us as trekkers. We had sleeping bags and stayed at many local villages, where we were well fed and had a chance to meet trekkers from many other countries.

I highly recommend this trip to families with kids who really like to walk, though I'd say 12-14 is probably the minimum age for enjoying it if you're gone for 2 weeks, as we were.
