Trekking in Nepal
Trekking has become by far Nepal’s biggest attraction for tourists and travellers - pioneered by Col. Jimmy Roberts in the early 1960s. Most visitors embark on one trek or another, and many do multiple treks before heading back home. Some come back each year to do a different trek each time. A trek is also probably the best means of seeing the country and of gaining an understanding of its people. Walking through emerald-green rice fields and rhododendron forests, crossing rivers, camping out in the wilderness with towering mountains in the background, all help make trekking an unforgettable experience.
Pony trekking is also possible in a number of remote parts of the country, and is equally enthralling for visitors. Pony treks are offered mostly in the western regions of Pokhara, Dolpo and Lo Manthang (Mustang).
The two most popular treks are the Everest Base Camp Trek and the Around Annapurna Trek, also known as the Annapurna Circuit as it goes right around the Annapurna range. There are also many other treks offered in the Everest and Annapurna regions. Other popular regions for trekking are the Langtang valley, Helambu, Makalu, Manaslu, Kanchenjunga and the Arun Valley. Another popular destination in the Everest region is the Gokyo valley.
