Difficulty levels of Routes for Trekking in Nepal
Treks in Nepal span the entire spectrum of difficulty levels starting from beginner level to professional trekker level fitness. Expert guides favour Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek for a gentle introduction to beginners. A 4 to 5 day ascent from Nayapul through a forest of grooved bamboo to an elevation of 3,210m. This trek requires a minimal level of fitness and unveils views of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna South, atop the hill viewpoint. The trek is a spectacular journey perfect for experiencing natural wild flower blooms of the himalayan jungle. The eclectic mix of remoteness and teahouse lodges with people along the trail makes beginners feel safe and right at home in nature.
Moderate level trekkers returning to Nepal often choose to tackle the Annapurna Base Camp Trek, a 10 to 12 days moderate trekking journey from Pokhara crossing through Chomrong and ending at the shadows of Annapurna’s foothills. The ABC trek route passes through subtropical forest, alpine forest, hillside terraced farms and ends at high elevation climbing camp offering up close vistas of South Annapurna, Himchuli, and Machhapuchhure mountain. Unlike other base camp treks requiring high to moderate level technical climbing skills, ABC requires none and is easily conquerable for moderately fit people.
Beyond the beginner and mid-level trekking routes in Nepal are the routes chased by pro trekkers. Advanced hikers often choose to embark on the Everest Region Trek 14-day challenge, ascending to an elevation of 5,644m at Kala Patthar. Over 100 Km long trails test grits of trekkers but offers a view of the whole Everest massif, alpenglow Everest sunrise view, turquoise blue rivers, himalayan culture and quaint valleys
