Nepal for long has been known as a land of Temples, Palaces and Mountains. The country has a history and it holds legends upon which it has been standing today. For hundred of years now the Himalayas have exercised the fascination on the world and for that Nepal has been a Shangri-La for many poets imagination and many travelers passion.

The mountains north holds eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, including the highest point on the earth, Mount Everest, called Sagarmatha in Nepal. It contains 240 peaks over 20,000 ft (6,096 m) above sea level.

Trekking in Nepal follows trails that begin as hills of deep green, the incredible masses of rocks and snow are the unreal and the awe inspiring backdrop, it then slowly moves to the existence of the mix of culture and the presence of authenticity. Then slowly, water becomes abundant with rivers slithering over shiny rocks, mist trickles through ghostly trees, parrots shriek and the fresh air prickles one’s skin. This is when one realizes that one is walking along the trail that lies above the heaven as an assertion of earth’s grandeur.

Amongst many trekking routes in Nepal the Khumbu region of Nepal is one of the best trekking routes in the world. This is the land of Sherpa people and the world’s great 8,000m peak. The best way to start the trek is a flight to Lukla and form there on a few days trek through the rhododendron forest, passing the glacier lake and the valleys. Every year the famous Mani Rimdu festival of dances is celebrated here at the monastery of Tyangboche.

Another popular trek in Nepal begins at the lakeside town of Pokhara and leads six or seven day’s northwest around the Annapurna Range. This trail will walk you through dramatic changes in landscape, climate and culture to the high village of Jomsom, near the isolated land of Mustang.

Just north of Kathmandu is a village where one can experience a mixed community of Tamang and Sherpa. This is the HelembuValley- a land of temperate forest and alpine pastures, glacier, lakes and snowy peaks. On the far eastern border of Nepal Lies Mt. Kanchenjunga. The valley approaching the mountain base camp has been opened to trekking, specifically for organized treks. The long trek to the lap of Kanchenjunga takes one through some of the countries richest and most pristine forests with splendid view of the snow capped mountains.


Rolwaling trekking is one of Nepal’s finest high mountain valleys west of the Khumbu. The valley wild, high and lonely is also known as ‘The Grave’ by the indigenous Sherpa on account of its location. Such, there are numerous trekking routes in Nepal. Which have all been rated and classified keeping in mind the difficulties, climate, vegetation, inhabitants and the geographical settlement. Since the very beginning of permitting tourist in Nepal, these Trekking Routes have been awed drawing in every year thousands of adventurist, sportsmen and prophets. From Himalayan vistas to deeply spiritual cultures, Nepal is a country that one has to witness by oneself to experience and to believe. And one dose not has to be a mountaineer to make it happen.
