Trekking in Nepal



Trekking in Nepal

Trekking is completely different from other forms of holiday or travel experiences and can be done in any part of the world. Compared to pre booked organized holidays it is more ‘open-plan’ and is governed more by local topography and weather conditions than the rigid keeping to pre booked airline or bus timetables.

Trekkers walk through areas not always accessible to organized tours. They are free to experience and sample the local scenery and interact with it as they please.

 Many areas are particularly popular with trekkers, especially the mountainous areas of the Himalayas in Nepal and Bhutan. But treks can be arranged in any area that appeals to the holiday maker for as long or as short as they wish.

 It is very important to have the right gear or equipment. A good backpack that is comfortably fitting is most important as many items necessary for various periods of trekking   are needed to be carried. A backpack which can hold 10 – 15 kilos of clothing and gear is ideal. Next are hiking boots that are both strong and comfortable. And, of course, warm clothing, a first aid kit and a supply of food and water. Of course, it is best to seek guidance from a professional trekking company who are the experts and will supply a qualified trekking guide who will give you expert guidance and make your trekking a most enjoyable experience.

How Long to Trek in Nepal? Nepal Tourism | Best Trek Durations

Image
Trekking in Nepal Himalaya involves many days of walking. To experience the hill country, you should allow yourself at least 2 weeks. Unless you have a month or more at your disposal, you’ll probably manage only one trek during your visit. In any event, you’ll want to spend a few days in Kathmandu and possibly visit Pokhara and a jungle lodge in Chitwan while you are in Nepal. The real trek in Nepal lasts three weeks at least. It is my heartiest opinion. One Week Trek If you have allowed yourself only one week in Nepal, you won’t have time to do any serious trekking, especially if you also want to do some sightseeing in Kathmandu. You could do a short walk on the Kathmandu valley rim, head to Pokhara and do some day hikes, or a three- or four-day trek to Ghorapani (2850 m) or Ghandruk (1940 m). It is a small part of Around Annapurna trek. Two Weeks With two weeks you could trek to Annapurna base camp (4130 m), Langtang or fly to Lukla (2860 m) and walk to Sherpa v...

Things to Do Before You Come to Nepal | Nepal Tourism | Know about Nepal

Image
Coming to Nepal for the first time? There is so much to consider prior to leaving it can almost make you dizzy. Then, when you get to Nepal you will undoubtedly wish you would have or wouldn’t have done this or that. How can you possibly know in advance? Here are a few things you will want to do before you leave home, based upon my living here for more than 3 years. This list is taken from my eBook, Nepal: A Tourist’s Manual. Of course no one will do all of these suggestions, but they will get you to think about this from a bit of a different view. Things to do before you come to Nepal: 1. Scan the receipt of any jewelry you will be bringing with you. You can email it to yourself or save it on a pen drive. If you get into financial trouble you can borrow against it instead of having to pay Western Union rates to get money in a time of crisis. It happens. If it gets stolen you will find the picture and receipt helpful, as well. 2. Get an international drivers’ lice...
