As I stepped out on my first day's march in the
Himalayas, a strange exhiliration thrilled me. I kept squeezing my fists together and
saying emphatically to myself and athe universe at large: "Oh yes! Oh yes! This is
really splendid!"
-Sir Francis Younghusband

heck out the exclusive
Trek Packages in these mountain regions. The following includes information on the
mountain, the mountain range, the treks, and the stops and camps.
EVEREST
 |
Mt. Everest, at 29,028 ft is the highest moutain peak of
the world. Also, known by the third pole, Everest soars as Sagarmatha high above the sky
and the clouds. This region also includes Lhotse (27,923 ft), Cho Oyu (26,750 ft) and
Amadablam (22,491 ft). |
KANCHENJUNGA
 |
The third highest in the world after Everest (29,028 ft)
and K-2, Kanchenjunga (28,0208 ft) trek is regarded as the most difficult and elite trek
only after the Everest Expedition. |
| MAKALU |
As the fifth highest in the world, Makalu (27,825 ft) was
once the highest peak in the world before the discovery of the Everest and K-2. |
MUSTANG
 |
Also, called the land of Lo, Mustang (15,000 ft) is named
as the alternate Tibet. This forbidden land until 1991, is the most classic of all the
treks, when the trekkers pass through the deepest gorge in the world. |
| ANNAPURNA |
The most famous and popular among all the mountain trekking
is the Annapurna (26,545 ft) circuit. Passing through the windy pass, Thorang La (17,770
ft) is considered the most difficult short path after the Hillay summit. |
DHAULAGIRI
 |
Dhaulagiri at 8,167 m (26,795 ft) is the sixth highest in
the world and together with Annapurna makes the deepest gorge in the world at 6000 m deep.
The trek to this residual mountain (unlike himalayan fold mountains), as the only of its
kind in the country, is adventurous and worth. |
DOLPO
 |
Sworn in by the Tibetans after 1959, this remote valley is
three weeks of walk to the nearest road. In one of toughest treks, the trekkers are
rewarded with the sight of ancient monasteries and the sacred crystal mountains at 16,000
ft. |
| LANGTANG |
Perhaps the nearest trekking route from the capital, this
trek leads to several other to Gosaikunda, the holy land, and Helambu. |
| OTHERS |
Other mountains such as Manaslu
(26,766 ft), Ganesh Himal (24,298 ft) and Gauri Shanker also offers some of the
best and aspiring treks in the himalayas. Treks to Rara lake and to the western corner are
just as exotic as others. |
