| Trekking in Nepal |
The devastating earthquake on 25th April 2015 has damaged some popular trekking routes and cultural heritage sites but most of the trekking routes are still safe for walking holidays and the travel and trekking agencies are apealing for the international trekkers, travelers and adventure lovers to visit Nepal this autumn season (September-October-November-December). Tourism in Nepal is the biggest industry for the country's revenue and this time it has been affected badly by the Earthquake and its aftershocks.
Trekking in Nepal is still the most favorite adventure holiday activity in the country. The two classic trekking routes either to Everest base camp or the Annapurna circuit are not easy and the challenge you'll face on either route will have a lasting effect. The Manaslu route trek around the world's eighth largest mountain is more remote but no less beautiful passing through stunning bamboo forests, villages filled with prayer flags and culminating with spectacular views from Larkya La. Mustang is an easier cultural trek, suitable for those with good general fitness but not necessarily any previous trekking experience. The language, culture and tradition of the Mustang region are still mostly Tibetan making this one of the most culturally interesting treks. There are shorter treks up the Langtang Valley and Helambu which are still hard work but also deeply rewarding. They generally begin in Kathmandu, leading through large grazing areas covered in flowers, dotted with stone huts used for butter making, Sherpa, Tamang villages and the homes of yak herders, right up to the Tibetan border.
