A hiking excursion to Nepal is no less than a ritual for college students in their senior year. As their formal education draws to an end, the first leg of life&#8217;s real journey begins, in the beautiful country called Nepal.<\/p>\n<p>But to conclude that Nepal is a country meant for mountaineers would be a gross misstatement-much like saying you eat nothing but bagels in America. In fact, one trip to the country is never enough to explore all that Nepal has to offer. We have tried to accommodate all we can about this wonderful country in our list of things to do in Nepal. We will not be surprised though, if we have missed out on a few things, because the possibilities are just endless here.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Update<\/b><\/span>: On April 25, 2015, Nepal was struck by a devastating earthquake that measured 7.9 on the Richter scale. The epicenter was nearly 80 km from the capital, Kathmandu. More than 4,000 people have been killed due to the earthquake and a number of structures have been damaged or destroyed as well. As a result, tourism in the country has taken a major dive and is expected to be that way till the nation recuperates.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">1. Trekking Trails and Sherpas<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_11527\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mapsofworld.com\/travel\/blog\/travel-tips\/reasons-to-visit-nepal\/attachment\/trekking-nepal\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11527\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11527\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11527\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mapsofworld.com\/travel-blog\/trekking-nepal.jpg\" alt=\"Mountains in Nepal\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11527\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trek through some of the highest summits in the world<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A walk through the lanes of a new place will take you closer to the heart of the land and its people like nothing else- especially in a place like Nepal. Few countries offer such a variety of vistas to trekkers- each equally joyous and beautiful. Famous treks in Nepal include the Langtong Region, the Mt Everest Circuit, the Annapurna Circuit, the Annapurna Sanctuary and Mt Kanchenjunga Circuit. These treks offer winding views of Buddhist settlements, high mountain peaks, and nature reserves.<\/p>\n<p>A trip can only be as good as the guide. Treks in Nepal are guided by Sherpas &#8211; a tribe so skilled in mountaineering- that their name has become synonymous to the word \u2018guide\u2019. No matter how inclement the weather or how steep the trail- your Sherpa will stick with you till the end and ensure your safe return.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2.
