Trekking in Nepal |
 |
|
|
Nepal is land of scenic grandeur and culture
diversity. Trekking on foot is the only way of
knowing the people and places intimately. One
need not be a mountaineer to trek in the hills
of Nepal, where more than half of the total
population of the country lives. A network of
tracks and trails marketed with shaded east
places connect numerous villages. A short trek
will reveal picturesque hamlets surrounded by
elaborate terraced fields and forested ridges. A
long trek may yield rich contrasts in people and
culture from one ecological level to another.
The rich variety in flora and fauna within a
short distance is another rewarding experience,
and there is always the prospect of viewing some
of the highest mountains in the world. In the
densely populated central hills there are
numerous small shops serving tea and simple food
to travelers at till junction, bridge -sites and
convenient saddles. The track may sometime be
rough because of the mountain terrain but it is
a delight to arrive at numerous vantage points
that reveal new vistas. In the mountain area,
the track may traverse steep slopes with
plunging waterfalls but the large villages below
temperate forests welcome travelers. In the high
valleys beyond the Himalayas, villages are set
wider apart but here also a traveler can find
cattle sheds and cave Himalayan valleys
providing sweeping views of grassy slopes,
glaciers and magnificent snow peaks and culture
reminiscent of Tibet. Wherever one travels,
people are friendly and hospitable and the roads
are safe. Depending on the season, one may meet
on the road local people in their distinctive
dresses, laden porters, caravans of sheep and
goats or Gurkha soldiers on home leave. Life in
rural Nepal is hard but simple and there are
many religious and social events that reflect
the rich cultural heritage of the people. One
might visit simple or elaborate gompas for
diversion along with fishing and swimming
opportunities in the clear mountain streams.
The best way to experience Nepal's unbeaten
combination of natural beauty and cultural
riches is to walk through them. The immense
contrasts in altitudes and climates found here
support an equally spectacular mix of
lifestyles, vegetation types and wildlife. You
will see Chhetri farmers working in their fields
and Tamang herders grazing their animals on the
steep slopes.
