More than anything, we seek transcendence. Often we unconsciously strive to overcome ourselves through various means like creativity, heroic act, spiritual or religious practices, but they are so demanding that only a few can make through it. Nevertheless, we all deserve to feel that we are infinite, and not merely a creature trapped in a body. It is where the natural world and wilderness come to our rescue. Nepal is a perfect destination for this.
Nepal is a country with an area of just 147,516 kilometers square. Given this size, Nepal has tremendous geographic diversity: it rises from as low as 59 meters elevation in the tropical Terai to as high as Mount Everest. Out of 14 peaks exceeding 8,000 meters across the world, 8 are in Nepal alone. 90 of Nepal’s peaks surpass the elevation of 7,000 meters. Above all, 15% of the land is the mountain region containing snow. What more a country needs to be the most desirable destination for trekking, climbing, and expedition! Whatever the activity, the inherent purpose is to make you feel connected to your own vastness. Nepal has that potential. You achieve that through adventures and awe.
Nepal is widely known as a trekking destination in the world. It has some of the best trekking destinations ranging from easy and short treks to long and strenuous treks. Apart from well-known trekking regions, there are several trekking destinations categorized here as the OTHER DESTINATIONS that offer relatively less trekked routes, intact villages, and a natural environment. Their charm and wonder are for you to explore and discover.
The diversity found in trekking trails in these regions is not found elsewhere. However, it is not only about natural vastness; in fact, you will traverse the idyllic traditional villages rich in culture. Mostly the people are simple, kind, and loving. Their hospitality is something you will certainly appreciate. All the destinations and routes may not be set up with hotels and lodges. In that situation, you will be either camping or home-staying. Whatever the availability, you will be delighted to have local cuisine.
