Trekking Vacations to Nepal

A well known Destination for Trekkers

Trekkers have long made a beeline to Nepal to explore the stunning mountains situated there. The two most dramatic elements of the Himalayas in Nepal are the Annapurna and Mount Everest. Trekkers can choose from the regular paths presented by tourist guides or look for the offbeat path. Trekkers have the option of a number of routes at their disposal. Some of the best routes are mentioned below.

The Kick off point for an Everest Expedition

For those who have considered a trekking holiday to Nepal, how can you ignore a visit to the Everest base camp? The top place will be occupied by this place on the list. Mountaineering experience is a must apart from plenty of money, if you are aiming to climb Mount Everest. The cost of reaching base camp will not be as high. Everest Base Camp is the beginning for any mountaineer aspiring to climb higher. No difficulties are faced by fit trekkers who manage to reach base camp easily. Hikers will find that there are a number of routes they can take to reach Everest Base Camp. They could choose a few of the classic routes used by legendary mountaineers who conquered Mount Everest in the past. Some less strenuous routes are also offered to tourists to make it to the camp and these can be chosen by them. The Summit of Kala Pattar and the beautiful Gokyo Lakes will be seen on the way, irrespective about the! way that the trekker chooses.

Trekking Over to the Kangchenjunga

If you’re looking to get faraway from the crowds, Kanchenjunga is really a place that you must visit. This isn’t as popular as a few of the other names that you see and read about. It is the highest mountain peak on the planet but rarely talked about. You’ll be able to reach the Kangchenjunga by a long and hard walk. Trekkers will find themselves rewarded for all the trouble that they have been through. Trekkers reach a seldom explored corner of Nepal walking across several high passes. They can look to camp at one of the many villages along the route, before advancing towards the base camp of the mountain.

Not being a Mountaineer and Conquering One

Going to Nepal and visiting the above destinations does not mean that you have to be a mountaineer. One place that could be visited in your capacity as a trekker and still return with the satisfaction of having indulged in some mountaineering is the Mera Peak. This is actually the highest peak of Nepal, which stands at 6,476 meters. There’s a difference here that it is accessible not just to mountaineers but also to trekkers. The routes leading up this peak begin with a beautiful forest in the Hinku Valley before winding up the peak. One can get to see some of the most spectacular views of the Himalayan Mountains after reaching the top. If a visit to this ancient kingdom is in your planning, be geared up for all the above activities and much more.
