Nepal is a wonderland packed with natural beauty, and the variety of trekking in Nepa<\/a>l is unrivaled anywhere else in the world. In actuality, the lowest point in Nepal is 59 meters above sea level in the Terai region, while the highest point is 8,848 meters above sea level on Everest; the two sites are just 200 kilometres apart in a straight line.
From the Terai plains to the Himalayan peaks, there is diversity and originality in every aspect. This is what distinguishes Nepal from other countries. Nepal has earned a reputation for being a diversified trekking region with a wide range of geography and altitudes. Short hiking routes in Nepal<\/a> range from 2500 meters (Australian Camp, Ghorepani Poonhill) to above 4000 meters (Everest Base Camp, Annapurna base camp, Langtang valley, Annapurna circuit and many more).
