Trekking in Nepal

Nepal is a trekker's paradise. The very organic rhythm of foot travel is a wonderful way to explore and make meaningful contact with the country. On average, trekking consists of walking daily 5 to 7 hours, 9 to 14 kilometers on a series of ascents and descents. The immense contrasts in altitude and climates found here support an equally spectacular mix of lifestyle and wildlife. Nepal is a pioneer in the sport of trekking. Known as the Himalayan Kingdom, Nepal is dominated by eight of the world's fourteen highest mountains, including Mt. Everest (Chhomolungma) 8848m. Each one is over 8000 meters (26,000ft). In all, there are 1,310 peaks of 5000 meters (16,900ft) or more. Annually, more than 200,000 tourists come here to trek. You will experience superb panoramic views of mountains, a diversity of landscape, flora and fauna, colorful cultures, friendly people and ancient history. Trekkers leave Nepal with grand tale to share with their family and your friends.

Jungle Safari

Nepalese jungles in the Tarai region especially are filled with wildlife. Different types of jungle (National Park) of Nepal are preserving a unique ecosystem significantly valuable to the whole world. Formerly the Park was started at Chitwan as a hunting reserve for the Nepalese royalty & nobility. Now days however, the National Parks (jungle) in Nepal have changed into a natural attraction where visitors enjoy a wildlife safari. Among the inhabitants at Chitwan National Park are the one-horned rhino, the Royal Bengal tiger, the Gharial crocodile and the colorful peacock. Animal lovers, bird watches and sightseers now all enjoy going there. Chitwan National Park is undoubtedly one of the most outstanding wild life sanctuaries in the world.
