Trekking is a way of seeing
country
and its people 'warts and all'. You will walk through
the streets of cities and villages and past the open
front doors of houses, you will see the people at their
daily tasks, the clouds forming below you and the magnificent
peaks of mountains towering over you. By trekking you
will be involved in a way you could never be in a car,
bus, train or aero plane; you can enjoy the friendliness
of the people, feel the magnetism of the mountains,
be at one with the country and at peace with yourself.
Could you ask or want for anything more?
A
trekking trip can be any length you choose. There are
a number of short treks around the Kathmandu and Pokhara
valleys which only take a day to complete. There are
two or three day treks or treks from a week to a month.
For those with the time you can combine a number of
treks and spend months just walking around. Different
Treks can help you to put together a trek to suit your
needs at an affordable price leaving you free of any
bureaucratic or logistic hassles
Trekking is not mountaineering although some of the
popular trails are used by mountaineering expeditions
to get toothier base camps. Most of the trails you will
walk on are still used predominantly by Nepali people
for everyday travel and trade. It is not uncommon to
be passed along the way by a Nepali porter carrying
lengths of corrugated roofing iron slung from a jute
strap (namlo) around the head or a sick relative being
carried in a basket (doko) in the same manner to the
nearest medical facility.
