The
best way to experience Nepal's unbeatable combination
of natural beauty and cultural riches is to
walk through them. The immense contrasts in
altitudes and climates found here support an
equally spectacular mix of lifestyles, vegetation
types and wildlife. Trekking in the mountains
of Nepal is more a cultural experience than
a wilderness expedition. One will be passing
through picturesque villages inhabited by diverse
ethnic groups. One will see Chhetri farmers
working in their fields and Tamange herders
grazing their animals on the steep slopes. One
will meet Gurkha a soldier home on leave and
come across Sherpa yak drivers transporting
goods over the high mountain passes. And always
in the background, the icy pinnacles of the
Himalayas loom over the scenery.
