The mighty Himalaya have occupied a special place in the imagination of adventurers and intrepid travellers for generations — nowhere more so than the nation of Nepal. Land of the Sherpa and home of Mount Everest, including eight of the world’s other 10 tallest peaks, Nepal is a country that embodies the allure and romance of these unimaginably vast mountains. The entire country is a trekker’s paradise. Some of the lesser-known regions are far preferable, as they tend to be quieter, more remote, and relatively unvisited by outsiders –- all of which promises a more meaningful connection with local people, a deeper understanding of their communities, and a far greater appreciation of the majestic landscapes and scenery.
