TREKKING IN NEPAL

 Nepal is a small country, 130 miles north to south, and 500 miles east to west. It is bordered on the south by India and on the north by Tibet. Its most amazing feature is the rise in elevation from the south (300 feet) to the north (29,000 feet); and this is what attracts tourists to this country half way around the world. The Himalaya range of mountains run the entire length of Nepal and include 10 of the world's 14 tallest mountains.

Two of the most popular treks in Nepal include the route from Lukla to Everest base camp (12 days return) and the Annapurna circuit (16-21 days). Both of these trips may include guides, porters, yak transport for supplies and the possibility of emergency evacuation for health reasons.
