We trek for distinct motives. To my knowledge, the bounded
land of Nepal, whose land won't ever be lapped by the wild ocean waves, can
meet 5 distinct hiking purposes of the thirsty adventurers.
1. Exotic Mountain Landscape
Where there are mountains, there are trails. With so many massive summits, and around fifty other distinguished mountains, it is no wonder Nepal is frequently regarded as the trekking capital of the world.
Needless to say, the trekking trails aforementioned don't entail scaling to the peak of those high mountains; even so, you'll find yourself at breathtaking elevations of around 5000m (so close to the heavens, huh?). Talking of high elevation hikes, there are even some small peaks in Nepal, like Gokyo Ri and Kala Patthar (offering spectacular view of Everest), the peak of which can be, and has been, touched by hikers (no demand for mountain climbing training).
2. Desert-like Landscape
Tired of the typical things, all of US wish for something different. So, in that sense, the green landscapes dominant in the majority of trekking zones of Nepal, yet lovely and natural, can become an eyesore to a regular hiker. Thus, Nepal encourages these true hikers, asking for something different, to venture beyond its white Himalayas, and attempt the Upper Mustang trail.
An ordinary Nepali is constantly shocked by this type of desert-like dry landscape possessed by a state so green. But, obviously, Mustang's close proximity to the Tibetan plateau makes its mark, not only in the topography state but also in the lifestyle of the folks there. Someplace along those barren hills of Mustang, there lies the historical city, Lo Manthang - one of the leading attractions of this windswept trail, alongside the sacred pilgrimage point, Muktinath.
3. Understand the Nepali
Hiking isn't all about exploring the wilds. It is also about finding the diverse kinds of human life and culture. Happily, Nepal offers the culturally-interested hikers an opportunity to remain as a guest in a local's house, in one of those wonderful hamlets tucked atop the hills. While the houses may not look modern enough, worry not about the lodging. It is great, although not as level to the 5 star resorts which you're used to but the cordiality of the Nepalese are constantly of "5 star" quality or so they say. Actually, they even have a conventional belief rooted inside their system that "The guest is God" or "Atithi Devo Bhavah" as the Sanskrit poetry goes.
4. Trek to the Lakes
While many of the amazing sights of the world, be it the twinkling stars or the proud snow summits, are silhouetted against the sky, you can still find jewels on the earth. Among these jewels are the emotional lakes spawned by the perspiration of the Himalayas. Simply picture a glacial lake, cool and quiet; afterward picture a lovely snow summit looming gracefully behind these lakes, and voila, it is a double "breathtaking" scenario.

5. Hiking To See the Dawn or Sunset
In Nepal, one such popular hike, strove particularly for dawn or sundown, would be the Poonhill Trekking - although, it is needless to say that each Himalayan trails are wonderful in regards to seeing the sun modeling gracefully behind the burning mountain peaks.
Interested and avid hikers are free to take a look at any trekking zones of Nepal which complement their desirable hiking dream, like
With the trek peaking at 4800 m, the hike is a particularly difficult encounter. Thus, it's important that you just spend two to three days in Cusco to acclimate before trying it. As with other treks to Machu Picchu, you'll take the train back to Cusco when you're done with your tour. You could stay at Aguas Calientes for an additional night but talk to your tour operator in advance to keep them in the loop.Salkantay Trek
Lares Trek
In this situation, nevertheless, you won't trek into Machu Picchu or into Aguas Calientes. This is not a direct path to your destination but you do get the chance to be up close and personal with some of the most famous sites in the state and this area.
This unique trail is a cultural trek as it passes through several little Andean communities. The folks that dwell there are dwelling much the way the folks in this region have done for a century or more. When you are seeing them, additionally, you will get an opportunity to learn about their traditional weaving techniques. This is a less difficult trek than Salkantay, both because there are fewer days walking as well as for the fact you will not scale quite as high.
