Trekking is a walking up and down hill on the beaten trails or virgin tracks. Trekking usually consists of a series of ascents and descents walking 5 to 7 hours (9 to 14 kms) per day on average with a guide, cook and porters and on some occasions pack animals. The trekking history began from the last 40 years, spreading outward from the British hill-station of Darjeeling and the traditional trade routes of Nepal, mountain tourism has developed to a refined state of hospitality and convenience that has opened the way for trekking as the optional means of Himalayan travel. Ultimately trekking is the only way to truly experience the amazing sights, sounds and sensations of the Himalaya and of the various cultural adaptations to its many profiles. Trekking provides an opportunity to observe the local culture of the people and enjoy the beauty of nature undisturbed by the influence of modernity. Trekking has been promoted in Nepal as mountain tourism and adventure holiday destination. Whether you begin your trek at a road head or fly into a remote mountain airstrip, a large part of it will be in the middle hills region. Trekking is normally on well-developed trails through villages and across mountain passes. Even at high altitudes there are intermittent settlements used during summer by shepherds, so the trails, though often indistinct, are always there. You can easily travel on any trail without the aid of ropes or mountaineering skills. There are rare occasions when there is snow on the trail, and on some high passes it might be necessary to place a safety line for your companions or porters if there is deep snow. Still, alpine techniques are almost never used on a traditional trek. Anyone who has walked extensively in the mountains has all the skills necessary for an extended trek in Nepal.

The diversity in Nepal's nature and a range of exotic culture makes this country ideal for trekking. This is a land of immeasurable beauty and inexplicable spiritual wonders…. The valleys to explore, distant mountain range to cross, hilltop monastery in which to ponder your inner thoughts, moments to contemplate the past and the future of humankind, where time seems to stand still and your mind is repeatedly drown to present. It is a chain of the highest and youngest mountains on earth and it encompasses a region of deep religious and cultural traditions and an amazing diversity of people. A trek in Nepal is a special and rewarding mountain holiday, which provides an opportunity to observe the local culture of the people and enjoy the beauty of nature undisturbed by the influence of modernity.
 

Fortunately for the visitor, there are still only a few roads extending deeply into the hills, so the only way to truly visit the remote regions of the kingdom is in the slowest and most intimate manner - walking. It requires more time and effort, but the rewards are also greater. Instead of zipping down a freeway, racing to the next "point of interest," each step provides new and intriguing viewpoints. You will perceive your day as an entity rather than a few highlights strung together by a ribbon of concrete. For the romanticist, each step follows the footsteps of Hillary, Tenzing, Herzog and other Himalayan explorers.
 

Trekking in Nepal will take you through a country that has captured the imagination of mountaineers and explorers for more than 100 years. You will meet people in remote mountain villages whose lifestyle has not changed in generations.
 

Villages embrace many ethnic groups and cultures. The terrain changes from tropical jungle to high-glaciated peaks in only 150 km. From the start, the towering peaks of the Himalaya provide one of the highlights of a trek. Finally, after weeks of walking, you will arrive at the foot of the mountains themselves - astonishing heights from which gigantic avalanches tumble earthwards in apparent slow motion, dwarfed by their surroundings.
