Trekking in Nepal:

Trekking in Nepal is an incredible experience and a wonderful way to unwind from the stresses of everyday life. For people who have not trekked before and are perhaps inexperienced in traveling outside of their normal environment, an adventure trek in Nepal may seem a daunting experience. For others who have traveled to Nepal before, it is an experience they need to repeat time and again. In truth most people find trekking extremely rewarding and very much away from the "hum drum" of their normal daily routine. Trekking trails in the Kingdom are rarely flat, however it is uncommon on the majority of treks to be on "the go" for more than six hours a day, this allows plenty of time to experience and relax in a way of life which is normally far removed from our own.
