Trek in Nepal

Trekking has been popular in Nepal for a long period. Back in the mid of 1960s, only a few trekkers visited Nepal especially as a part of group expedition followers. But today, it is completely different. One can find the National Parks and Conservation Area lodges have been established, where treks can find the proper accommodation and provision. In those hotels and lodges, you will find all the basic facilities.  Most of the trails are safe and well maintained and sign-posted too.

There are many trekking destinations in Nepal. All of them have different length, difficulty and timing. In Nepal there are three main trekking areas and there the most easily accessible, they are the Everest, Langtang and the Annapurna region. The trekking trails of Annapurna and Langtang have some advantage as they can be reached through road connections. You can find the several trekking regions which are accessible by domestic flights like Kanchenjunga, Makalu, and Dolpo. It will take many days of trekking to reach the higher mountain areas from the local center of population.

While in your trek, you will see the beautiful view of the Himalayas, also you get to explore the wide range of vegetation. In Nepal, there is six distinct and diverse vegetation, which ranges from Tropical below 1,000 meters through Sub-tropical 100 meters – 200 meters, Lower Temperature 1,700 meters – 2,700 meters, Upper Temperature 2,400 meters – 3,000 meters, Subalpine 3,000 – 4,000 meters and Alpine 4,000 meters to the snowline. These regions are well-populated areas with a diverse amount of flora as well as fauna.

You can find trails for trekking any time of year in Nepal. Mostly the southern areas have a higher level of precipitation. Also, some routes along the Great Himalaya Trails lies in the rain shadow. It is a dry area on the leeward side of the mountains namely Mustang to the north of Annapurna and Manaslu, Dolpa to the north of Dhaulagiri and the far west of Nepal to the north of Saipal Himal.

In Nepal, especially the people living in the hilly and Himalayan region depends on tourist for their income. They work as a trekking porter or guide to earn some money. Further, your help to them and their community is deeply appreciated.
