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.

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...

Great Shopping Finds in Kathmandu | Check it out

Image
As most of my readers know, I'm a huge fan of Nepali handicrafts. It's typical of me to wander off from the group and get stuck in a tiny, crowded store with unique products as we walk in many of the districts of Kathmandu.  Brass, copper, semi-precious stones, hard-fired pottery or even handmade musical instruments are just the start. As I walk along I'll see something I'd never seen before, a button store, Tibetan style fabrics, woolen carpet or possibly furniture. Such fine workmanship and at bargain prices.

Tourist Giving Guidelines in Nepal | Nepal Tourism | Must Visit

Image
Here are a few guidelines to know how much to pay: Village Home-stay: When you get here you will be invited to countless villages to stay with your new, Nepali friends. It sounds inviting, but how much to pay? Your new friend will likely tell you it is completely up to you. It is important that you find out in advance how much he expects from you. You can ask how much the last person paid then explain to him how much your daily budget is. “My budget is up to 1,500 NRs. per day,” you can explain. “If I go to your village and pay 300 NRs. for the bus fare each way and stay there for two nights that would only leave me 1,200 NRs. per day. Would 750 NRs. be OK with you and your wife?” Be very clear in advance as to how much money is to be paid. When he looks disappointed, ask him if the toilet is inside. Seriously, how much should a person pay for a room without glass in the windows and a toilet you have to get to from outside?  That would leave you enough for...
