NEPAL TRAVEL
Adventure Travel in Nepal
by: John Riggin

With its majestic Himalayan Mountains and fascinating local
culture, Nepal is a favorite destination for adventurous
travelers. Each year thousands embark upon the experience
of a lifetime to spend days or weeks in the breathtakingly
beautiful country of Nepal.

Most adventure travelers in Nepal will be treated to
magnificent views from high in the mountains. They will
wander through pure forests and past clear mountain lakes,
rivers and waterfalls. They'll visit remote Buddhist
monasteries and shrines and see tiny mountain villages, full
of friendly locals.

Trekking expeditions in Nepal are quite popular. They
typically involve a small group of people who have been
given a list of equipment, such as hiking boots, to bring with
them to Nepal. Once they arrive in the country they set off
together to explore. There is usually a trekking staff that
comes along on the trip and carries most of the camping
equipment and even the travelers' bags. They set up the
camp, cook meals and break camp, leaving the traveler to
enjoy the trek without the physical hardship of toting heavy
packs.

Treks are available for people with various abilities. While a
person should be in good shape for these treks, one does
not need to be a tri-athlete to take part. There are more
strenuous treks for those in great physical condition, as well
as easier treks. Many of the easier treks are appropriate for
families and allow children to participate. Some companies
rate the treks they offer by level of difficulty, to help travelers
judge which trek would be best for them.

While trekking is one of the most popular forms of adventure
travel in Nepal, it is by no means the only one. There are
many ways to enjoy the great outdoors in beautiful and
mysterious Nepal.

- The Himalayas make Nepal a favorite destination for
mountain climbers. There are well over 100 peaks open to
mountain climbers in Nepal, including the famed Mount
Everest.

- The mountains of Nepal also have trails for mountain
bikers of varying skills.

- Nepal offers challenging climbing cliffs for avid rock
climbers.

- While rafting and kayaking in Nepal, adventurers can float
along picturesque mountain rivers enjoying tranquil views,
far from the well-traveled paths.

- Finally, adventure travelers in Nepal can choose to
experience a jungle safari from a jeep or the back of an
elephant. Nepal's wildlife reserves and conservation areas
boast a variety of unique animals, including the Royal
Bengal Tiger and the Greater One Horned Rhinoceros.
