Hiking in Nepal |
Hiking in Nepal is simply walking through the low land of Nepal hills, village or valley and relatively a shorter and easier walking than trekking. Particularly For those visitors who are inexperience in walking up
and down on the mountain and who have little time to experience
the high mountains of Majestic Himalayas and Nepalese
culture they can choose these short and easy hiking
trips. As a Nepal guide I have compiled a list of opportunities for short
lowland hiking trip and walking tours in Nepal. Here is
not much difference between Hiking and Trekking in
Nepal. Hiking is an initial part of trekking and
relatively easier that still involve up and down on
rural hilly areas below 3000 meters but offers glimpse
of High Mountains views, while trekking takes you
through the low land village to high Mountain pass up to
almost 5, 600 meters. Hills of Nepal are very popular
for hiking. Here are some hiking trips that I have
described in this page are suited for all age people
especially for the family groups and novices.
