Nepal is known the world over as a nation of colour and contrasts - a hidden Shangri - La of nature, culture, and adventure. Its hallmark, undoubtedly, is the majestic snow - capped Himalaya, home to eight of the world’s 8,000 meter peaks. There is, however, a whole lot more to Nepal than its heights. Powerful rivers rush out from the Himalaya providing world class rafting opportunities as they cascade down the middle hills and empty out into the steamy flatlands of the Terai in the south. Here exotic game and innumerable species of birds have made the jungle reserves their home and equally exotic people live in painted homes among lush green paddy fields. Indeed, the breath taking biotic diversity of Nepalese mirrored by the equally diverse population whose rich cultural heritage colours this nation with festivals and rituals, songs and masked dances, and a piety the level of which is matched by few places on this earth. This piety is reflected in the many artistic temples and monuments its people have built. this peaceful Himalayan Kingdom is thus an adventurer’s paradise, a naturalist’s dream, and a living ethnographic museum.

Trekking With Children In Nepal

For many, planning a weekend away with a young family is daunting, let alone planning an overseas trekking holiday. It does not have to be this way and with some simple practical advice, any family with an open mind can enjoy a culturally rich experience trekking with their children in the Himalaya. While planning such a trip, there may seem a myriad of hurdles and difficulties to overcome, but if you prepare yourself adequately, the experience of trekking with your children in the Himalaya could be a truly rewarding and enlightening one, not to mention an invaluable multicultural life lesson for your young ones.The ideal ages for children to trek is, believe it or not, as infants that are still breastfeeding and can be easily carried and at the ages of six upwards. Though it may sound surprising to take an infant overseas, breastfeeding is actually a no fuss and hygienic way to feed a child. Toddlers as a rule are not so easy to take trekking as they can neither walk the distance nor would they tolerate being carried for long periods of time.
