Welcome to the land of Himalayas, the most popular destination in the world for holiday tours, adventure trekking, tourism leisure vacation trips, outdoor activities and expeditions to the high Himalayas. Apart from trekking and mountaineering in Nepal Himalaya, spending your time with the nature and exploring cultural and historical sites of Nepal is another part of experience in life. Your Vacation in Nepal can be more memorable with the worlds best adventure holiyday activities like Bungy/Bungee Jumping, Pokhara Paragliding, Chitwan National Park Jungle Safari, guided mountain biking, White Water River rafting and hiking over mountains.
ReplyDeleteTrekking 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.
