You
don't have to be an Olympic athlete to tackle the Himalayas.
Nor do you need any special experience. Trekking is just walking,
and anyone who is moderately fit and has a sense of adventure
will enjoy trekking in Nepal. The range of treks varies from
short, gentle hikes through terraced foothills to lengthy expeditions
to Everest's summit. Whatever your level of fitness or experience,
you'll find an adventure waiting for you in Nepal.

| How
Langtang and Helambu Region like: |
Langtang
is a narrow valley that lies just south of the Tibetan border.
It is located between the main Himalayan ranges to the north
and slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. This
high and isolated region is inhabited by Tamangs whose religious
believes and practices; language, traditions and dress are
more alike with those of Tibetan people. According to the
legend a lama following a ranaway yak discovered the valley.
So, the name -lang - is Tibetan for 'yak' and -teng-(more
correctly dhang) means 'to follow'. Langtang valley offers
an opportunity to explore villages, climb small peaks and
what's more important pure nature surroundings will bring
peace to your heart and you'll enjoy being part of nature.
Much of this region falls into Lantang National Park (Nepal's
first Himalayan national park) and away from the larger settlements,
you can enjoy seeing old-growth forest: rhododendron, oak,
alder, pine and
much more. Beautiful flowers such as the sky-blue gentians
of alpine regions, primroses of moist areas, epiphytic orchids
of wet forests which bloom during many times of the year will
accompany you on your way. Langtang is rich in rare species
of animals being the region where one hundred and sixty species
of birds (cuckoos, owls, barbets, nightjars, black-capped
sibias, yellow-billed magpies- just few of them) and more
than thirty species of mammals have been observed, including
a very rare snow leopard, only a few dozen specimens of which
survive in the entire Himalaya. This trekking route also offers
you an opportunity to see sacred lakes of Gosainkund, which
are holy places for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims and said,
were created by God Shiva.

| Annapurna
Region: |
| Muktinath
is an important pilgrimage place for Hindus. The most colorful
pilgrims to this area are the ascetic sadhus. There is a temple
of Shiva and a padoga-style temple, Vishnu Mandir, which contains
an image of Vishnu. Around the temple is a wall from which 108
brass waterspouts, cast in the shape of cows' heads, pour forth
sacred water. And this is the case when more truly to use proverb:
"Better once to see than many times to hear". The Tibetan
Buddhist saint Guru Rimpoche is believed to have visited Muktinath
in the 8th century. |

From
Annapurna valley floor (below 1000m.) to the summit of Annapurna
(8091m.) there is unbelievable variety of habitats. While
trekking in this region you can move between the flourishing
subtropics and the austere alpine climes in a matter of days,
witnessing the effect of altitude, topography and climate
on life.
Trekking through rhododendron forests, which bloom from red
to pink to white, depending on altitude in springtime. And
as trail takes you upward from the roar of the powerful river
the singing of various birds and calm sounds of nature will
accompany you on your way. The dry forests of blue pine will
gently protect your trekking from strong winds.
Many vibrant species of beautiful butterfly display their
colours in the heat of the day in low valleys. Variety of
wildflowers is in bloom long after the monsoon, thanks for
the area's high rainfall. Look for composites (asters, daisies
etc.) and the pleone orchids that bloom on trees. The wealth
of mauve primulas can't be missed along the wet rock walls
between Ghorepani and Ghandruk. You'll enjoy your unity with
nature surrounded by highest mountains of the world.

Luckla.) From Luckla you walk to the famous Sherpa village of
Namche Bazaar and on to the Tengboche Buddhist Monastery, with
its panoramic view of Everest (8848 m), Cho Oyu
(8152 m), Lhotse (8516 m), Makalu (8463 m) and Ama Dablam (6456
