Trekking
in Nepal
The
Nepal Himalaya has always been known as ' The Abode of the
Gods '. Many histories, religions, cultures, traditions, legends,
and myths emanate from the awesome Himalaya. The Nepal Himalaya
harbors many holy temples, shrines, monasteries, and sacred
lakes in the wild and remote parts of the region. These sites
are frequently visited by pilgrims. It is a land of piety
and stillness. The Himalaya is the youngest and highest mountain
chain on earth. A full third of its stretches -- the formidable
Great Himalayan Range of 800 kilometers -- lies within the
Nepal Himalaya. To trek, one does not have to be either a
mountaineer or an athlete. Anyone with a pair of strong legs,
and the spirit for adventure, will enjoy trekking in Nepal.
Walking in the interior of the country, one follows ancient
foot trails which meander along scenic river banks, intricately
terraced fields, and the forested ridges connecting picturesque
hamlets and mountain villages. These developed and well defined
trails have been used for centuries.
For
visitors on extended holiday and with fewer restraints there
are even more opportunities for adventure - be it rafting
on the sparkling rivers, going on safari in the jungles, or
trekking to explore deeper into the alpine valley. The more
intrepid traveler may venture further up to scale any of the
18 minor trekking peaks. Here are some specific & popular
trekking area described beow:
