To "Trek" in the Himalayas means to set off from a
given town, village or air field and to wonder through fields
and hamlets, along valleys and streams or up mountai slopes to
any altitude at one's choice, but usually not above 18,000 ft.
(5,500m)Trekking- hiking along the trails that form the main
links between Nepal's isolated villages and settlements is one
the country's main attractions. The word trekking was almost
unheard of in Nepal until the sixties but many of today's
visitors came to Nepal solely to trek.
