Nepal Travel Guide For Trek Packages and Vacations.

<<>>

Nepal travel guides are essential in planning.

Because good travel information can be the difference between a good time or a great time.

Now a Federal Democratic Republic and with a population of about 30 million people.

It is a country of different cultures and religions.

Which adds to it's appeal.

Bordered to the north by the People's Republic of China, and to the south, east, and west by the Republic of India.

It is outstandingly beautiful country.

This is where the the mountains of the Himalayas (home of snow) meets the plains of India.

The mountainous region of the north country is home to eight of the world's ten highest mountains, and of course, includes the highest point on earth, Mount Everest (29,028 feet above sea level). Needless to say, travellers flock here for the many and varied trek Nepal packages and vacations on offer.

While to the south are the fertile plains. The country’s bread basket and home to historic cities and forests where tigers and Rhinoceros roam in Chitwan National Park.

Kathmandu is the nation's capital, it is a hot, noisey, bustling city and far removed from serene villages like Khumjung in the North.

Hinduism is practiced by most people, especially in the lower region like Kathmandu valley. Buddhism, though a minority faith in the country, is practiced by most of the hill people. Nepal is said to be the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama who as the Buddha Gautama gave birth to the Buddhism in the region.

There are basically four seasons:

(a) Spring: March-May

(b) Summer: June-August

(c) Autumn: September-November

(d) Winter: December-February.

The majestic Himalayas cover three fourths of the land and offers,argueably, some of the most exquisitely beautiful trekking and hiking routes in the world.

The mountain region has become a travel magnet for hundreds of thousands of trekkers and mountaineers from all over the globe.

Here you will enjoy some of the best walking on earth as you hike with towering mountains all around you. Making it an unforgettable travel experience.

Fly from Kathmandu up to Lukla with its famous sloping airstrip and trek up to the crossroad town of Namche Bazar.

You will never forget your first sighting, on foot, of Sagarmatha (Everest) as you travel up to Namche Bazaar.

If you want you can trek for weeks on end using the tea-houses or campsites for accommodation, depending on your preference.

Spend your time hiking up high along trails to Tengboche Buddhist Monastery (3850m) while enjoying superb views of the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, Thamserku, Ama Dablam and many other peaks.

Visit the Sherpa village of Khumjung to visit the Hillary hospital and school while you’re on your way to see the famous Yeti skull at the Khumjung monastery.

Two of the most popular treks are the Everest Base Camp Trek and the Annapurna Circuit. With another popular destination, in the Everest region, being the Gokyo valley.

Trekking is by far the biggest attraction and most tourists set out on some trek or the other. Usually with a tour beginning and ending in Kathmandu. Some return each year to do a different trek.

Nepal information on activities is easily found and it is the place to visit, not only for hiking, but if you are looking for adventure and cultural experience too. Here you will find rock climbing, peak climbing, mountaineering, kayaking, rafting, canyoning, wildlife safari, mountain biking, paragliding and many cultural sites.

This is wonderful country and the people will show you a friendliness, openness, warmth and generosity, on your Nepal vacations, you will not easily forget.

You will find yourself looking at other Nepal visits because the first thing many people do after their first visit, is to start planning the next one. <<>>
