Where is the best place to trek in Nepal?
Ask any trekker and you’ll get an opinion. A better question might be ‘Where can I trek in Nepal?’. Okay – let’s not dwell on all the myriad variations on routes that give themselves a trek ‘name’ (the Royal Trek springs to mind). Most people want to see the Himalaya (note the singular – right on. It means ‘abode of snows’). As they have some interest in anything from hillwalking through rockclimbing and even mountaineering then most trekkers will want to be in amongst the big mountains. Well they don’t come any bigger than Mount Everest in Eastern Nepal and for a number of people this is one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences; to see the biggest mountain in the world from as close up as possible. Travelling in the other direction from Kathmandu brings you to the Annapurnas and the famous Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Sanctuary. In the middle are the Langtang and Helambu National Parks. All of the ‘big three’ are accessible and realistic ambitions for first time trekkers.Back
