Nepal Treks In The Himalayas
The country of Nepal is situated in the Himalayas sandwiched between China in the north and India on the other sides. The rich geography of the land provides for ample exploration opportunities. The most mountainous region lies in the northern part of the country where the eight of the world’s ten tallest mountains stand, including the highest of the world – the Mount Everest. Tourists are seen to throng to the Himalayan country in droves to take part in adventure sports like trekking, paragliding, hiking etc.
The most famous trekking region in Nepal is known as the Annapurna Conservation Area. The three major trekking routes in the Annapurna region are constituted by the Jomson Trek to Jomsom and Muktinath, the Annapurna Sanctuary route to Annapurna base camp, and the Annapurna Circuit. These treks usually start in the town of Pokhara and take to Ghorepani or Ghandruk prior to which you are presented with an opportunity to explore the capital city of the country, Kathmandu. Trekking in Himalayas will also be a great adventure. Nepal Treks are very popular among the adventure enthusiasts. Adventure seekers from all around the world visit Nepal to enjoy trekking, hiking, mountain climbing.
You would usually set your foot in Kathmandu, the first time you land in Nepal. Kathmandu offers great opportunities to experience the essence of Nepal. The most prominent hotspot is known as the Durbar Square. It is a place which bears immense historical significance. When the kings of Nepal used to be crowned, it is here that the coronation ceremony used to be solemnized. The ancient temples and the palatial palaces are the epitomes and real reflection of the culture and heritage of the people of Nepal; believed to have been built by the Malla kings of the Medieval Nepal. The other name of the Durbar Square is Hanumandhoka.
The prominent ancient temples and monuments of this landmark include the Taleju Bhavani, Kal Bhairav, Nautale Durbar, Coronation Nasal Chowk, and the Gaddi Baithak. The other famous temples include the Temple of the Living Goddess Kumari, the wooden temple of Kasthamandap, Ashok Vinayak. The next must visit is known as the Swoyambhunath stupa.
