Trekking and Walking

On beaten trails or virgin tracks, Nepal is a trekker’s paradise, virtually. The clip-clop rhythm of foot travel is a unique way to explore so much and make meaningful contact with the country. Trekking usually consists of a series of ascents and descents walking 5 to 7 hours (9 to 14 km per day on average, with a guide, cook and porters.

Trekkers rely on guides for identifying tracks and an introduction to the local people, their culture, religion, and lifestyles. A trekking route will often pass through forests of rhododendron, bamboo, oak, and hemlock, visiting one or two villages each day. Rivers are crossed on log passages or suspension bridges. It’s a feeling of the great out-door, from the word ‘go’. The Himalayas of Nepal consists of some of the most popular trekking regions in the world.

It’s not unusual to cross snowfields in the morning and bathe in sub-tropical streams in the afternoon. For the most part, trekking routes are well traveled by local people, but remain unmarked without sign posts. You soon learn to discover by yourself. It’s a challenge galore all the way.

The objective of trekking is not just a particular destination, but the journey itself. You travel at a modest pace, observing nature, rural communities, and fabulous mountain panoramas.
