Trekking - Nepal

Trekking:
perhaps, Nepal
is the very first country to introduce
trekking for the nature lovers, proving as an ultimate destination for
the trekking and adventure enthusiast -
offering a myriad of possibilities from the
short and easy to the demanding challenges
of the snowy peaks. Trekking in the Himalayas
is often regarded as a 'multi-objectives'
journey on foot, experiencing the human civilization, remote lands,
vegetation, wildlife and its culture, high mountain-paths, crossing deep
valleys, sleeping in tented-camp or local in
local tea-houses keeping close contact with
nature and its elements. Nepal has aptly
been called "A Trekkers' Paradise" as her
terrain-mountains, hills as well as lowland
- offers some of the most spectacular
trekking routes in the world. Trekking in
Nepal is as much a cultural experience as a
Himalayan adventure undertaking and
depending on your own energy and granting an
opportunity to testing your physical limit. |

Fitness. All
trekking demands a level of fitness that
will enable person to put good day's
walking, up hill and down. Most treks should
not be taken to gain more than 300 meters to
500 meters in one day above 3000 meters.
There should be plenty of time during the
day to cover this distance, so the physical
exertion though quite strenuous at times, is
not sustained. The best preparation for
trekking is cycling, swimming, jogging,
squash, tennis and long walks involving up
and down hill. Good physical conditioning
will probably help for the maximum enjoyment
of a trekking-course.....Detail |
