The first important element of trekking in Nepal that travelers tend to seek is obviously the natural beauty of the place. There is truly something largely endearing about trekking along trails that present ravishing sights of its elusive environment. Owning it its commodities, Nepal has trekking trails on entire regions that present absolutely beguiling natural quintessence to the trekkers. Let’s take the example of the Everest Region. Trekking along the trails to the Everest Base Camp, you would be trudging through wonderful terrains enveloped in snow. The terrains in the Everest region are accompanied very adoringly by the chartreuse of alpine forests and growth of lush vegetation. The ethereal rhododendron trees with their blooming flowers tend to ornament the trails more often than not.

Of course, the colossal mountain views and snowy peaks do well off to add to the serenity of this heavenliness. The mountains, standing far off in the distant, keeping their vigil till the end of time, give the trekking trails the feel and ambiance of utter tranquility. The sights of the mountains, with their blankets of opal patina and pearly snow spread across their quiddity, are gorgeous to look at. Trekking in Nepal presents this opportunity to experience the natural charm in close proximity. Trekking along the amethyst trails of the region, the jovial flow of the rivers and the cyan of the celestial sky provide a seraphic feeling that is aesthetically pleasing. Along with the Everest Region, the Annapurna Region trekking also encompasses the sublimity of the terrains into its trails. Ghorepani and Poon Hill in the Annapurna region are famous vantage points from where the divine sights of the rising and setting Sun amidst the Annapurna mountain ranges can be seen; the changing of the tincture of the mountains from ivory to that of burning amber presents an out-of-this-world manifestation. The Langtang region, known as the Valley of Glaciers, encapsulates the natural bliss of its acreages perfectly into the trekking trails. The Isolated Mustang region has its trekking trails passing along umber terra firma and the Manaslu region has its trekking trails through the peregrination of dry arid environments in its sequestered severance. It is, without a doubt that Nepal is overflowing with natural heavenliness of the winsome terrains and views of palatial mountain peaks. The cerulean Gokyo lakes, the pulchritude of the glaciers and the confetti-like solidarity of the icefalls add to the Elysian superlunary of the trekking journey.
The Observation of Ethnicity

All of the regions of Nepal have an unprecedented religious variety. Passing through many dainty villages and settlements throughout the trek gives one the possibility of observing the customs and cultures of the people residing in those places in a very close propinquity. It is fascinating to watch the people in the secluded villages go about their day to day lives. Depending upon animal domesticity and husbandry, agriculture and trade, the people living in the miniscule settlements in the remote rural areas of Nepal present a vastly different sight contrasting to the hustle and bustle of city life. Many of the perseverance of the ancient customs and traditions of the people are possible due to the absolute isolation of the area. The people in the Mustang region still practice the age-old traditions that were being practiced eons ago. Trekking along the settlements there, it is like being wrapped back in time. The celebration of the jovial festival, called the Tiji festival, also lets the travelers experience the cultures of the people in a much colorful and lively way.

The sights of the mountains along the trekking trails are what make trekking such an ethereal adventure. The mountain peaks enveloped in snow are such a brilliant view to look at. There are many vantage points like Poon Hill in the Annapurna region and Kalapatthar at the Everest region that allows trekkers to look at panoramic vistas of the mountains like no other place on Earth. The picture of the natural mountains, ivory in their color and vigilant in their endeavors, gives trekkers the motivation to complete hard challenges of trekking at difficult terrains.
