Trekking is not mountaineering but it is as well to remember that the himalayas begin where other mountains finish. An average trek oscillates between 1000 meters and 3000 meters but trek to the everest base camp will reach 5545 meters. Trekking usually consists of a series of ascents or descents. In its immensely diverse and undulating topography, varied climate and mix of people, Nepal combines to produce a magical attraction for outsiders.
