On average, trekking consists of walking daily 5 to 7 hours, 9 to
14 kilometres 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 Everest. 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 tales
to share with their family and friends. |
