| The
great Himalayas of Nepal are well known as one of the best destinations
in the world for enjoying the real beauty of the nature. Trekking along
the trails into the interior parts of the country will lead you to
ancient foot trails that you will always remember for the scenic
river-banks, terraced fields, forested ranges and mountain villages. Trekkers
may walk along the rough but beautiful trails in the lap of green and
friendly looking hills. You will be impressed by the rhododendron
filled green dark and deep forests with different seasonal flowers
blossoming, domestic and forest animals, varieties of birds,
monasteries, temples, mountain landscapes and the warm greetings from
smiling local people. |
