To be a part of history. Since Nepal is one with so many celebrated peaks, historians, students, and other academic individuals get attracted to its natural beauty and splendor.

To relax. Others prefer beaches or the comforts of home, but some like the openness of being on the top of the world, looking down below at all other of God's creations.

Trekking in Nepal also appeals to those who want to study and be a part of history. It is known for having a colorful chronicle of events, even if it is the youngest republic in the world.

Combined with its picturesque geography, Nepal's pride also consists of its share of leaders who, throughout Nepal's history has stood for and by it.
