Trekking

Nepal is the world’s premier destination for trekking and is the country where commercial trekking was pioneered back in the early 1960s.

Nepal has attracted trekkers from around the world since the 1960s when Col Jimmy Robert organized the first commercial trek. Trekking has been the leading activity of tourists in Nepal and thousands take to the Himalayas, some doing a few days of hiking while others take on a month-long trek through valleys and high mountain passes. Two of the most popular trekking regions are Everest and Annapurna where many different trails can be followed while the other popular treks are in the Langtang and Kanchenjunga regions.
