Nepal is a
land of remote mountain villages, where
people survive by growing their own food
on the thousands of hill terraces that
scale even the steepest slopes where
mechanized farming is unheard of. The
fields are ploughed by water buffalo or
oxen, the corn and wheat is harvested
and threshed by hand and grounded by
water mills. If you stay in a trekking
lodge, your bread will, likely as not,
be made from flour ground that day, your
vegetables freshly harvested from the
fields. In the mountain side there is
such a diverse mix of lifestyles, a wide
range of vegetation and wildlife.
More than 110,000 visitors come to Nepal
for trekking either in Tibet, Bhutan or
Nepal itself every season. Trekking
appeals to different people for varied
reasons. In short one can say trekking
means getting near to nature and
appreciating the beauties that it offers
us. Some trekkers have found trekking
and uplifting and spiritual experience,
one they will never forget in their life
times. ATC organizes packages for groups
to experience all these things, making
for the trekker an enjoyable and hassle
free holiday allowing them to make the
most of their experience |
