The Kingdom
of Nepal is well known as one of the best destinations in the world for
enjoying the real beauty of nature through trekking. The trail into the
interior parts of the country follows ancient foot trails, which meander
through scenic riverbanks, intricately terraced fields and the forested
ridges connecting picturesque hamlets and mountain villages. Trekkers
can walk along the rough but beautiful trails or virgin tracks in the
lap of green and friendly looking hills. The rhododendron-filled, green,
dark and deep forests with different seasonal flowers blossoming can catch
anyone's eye as can the scattered residential cottages, domestic and forest
animals, variety of birds, both Hindus and Buddhist temples, mountains,
breath-taking landscape, and above all warm greeting from smiling local
people. The highly developed and well-defined trails have been used for
centuries.
Trekking in Nepal is an all season activity. It is possible at any time
of the year depending on where one wishes to go. However, the most popular
seasons are spring (February- May) and autumn (September- November). Even
during the monsoon season (June - August), you can trek in the rain -
shadow areas north of the Himalayas
