I feel privileged to be born in the country which has such a variety of wild life and mountains. Nepal has a lot to offer including the noisy capital Kathmandu with shops, cafes and temples, heritage cities of Bhaktapur, tropical jungles near Chitwan and of course trekking in the mountains.

For everyone who is keen on trekking there is no better destination then Himalaya. Trekkers' highlights in Nepal include a convenient tea house trekking across the country, famous trek to the world's highest mountain Everest, trekking in restricted areas like Inner Dolpo, Mustang, Nar Phu, Manaslu Himal and Humla.

Annapurna

Since many years Annapurna region has conquered the title of the most popular trekking area in Nepal. The easy accessibility, convenient lodges and tea houses, the variety of scenery, traditional villages and monasteries on the way offer an exotic slice of Nepali, Tibetian and Trans-Himalayan culture. Treks to the Annapurna region usually start from the lake-side of the town of Pokhara.

Everest

Being a home of the world highest peak Everest region has been calling to trekkers and climbers. The highest mountain in the world continues to lure adventurers as ever. In 2013 Nepal was celebrating a 60th anniversary of the first climb by New Zealander Sir Edmunt Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay ascent of Mount Everest on May 29, 1953. Although over the last 60 years many mountaineers have been on the top of the world, the region still offers some of Nepal's most challenging treks. Most trekkers have a hair-raising flight from Kathmandu to the airstrip of Lukla (2,850 m) from where they begin walking through the Sherpa village of Namche Bazaar and Tengboche monastery to the footsteps of Mt. Everest or Gokyo lakes.

Langtang and Helambu

The third most popular trekking region lies to the north of Kathmandu and can be reached within a day's drive from the capital. The valley offers a range of trekking possibilities from 7 to 16 days which could be combined in different ways. The main attractions in the valley are the sacred alpine lakes of Gosaikund and the rolling Sherpa farmland of Helambu. The area is famous for offering extremes in topography and climate conditions. In just one day you can experience five different vegetation zones from the subtropics to timberline.
