Declaimer: Regarding Trekking Routes in Nepal

No one can give the exact answer of How many trekking routes are in Nepal. Everyone who comes with an answer and completes the trekking package in Nepal is correct in their position. Similarly, We Trekking Trail Nepal is not saying we are right, however, we can offer the complete trekking package among these trekking routes in Nepal.

Here are some declaimers regarding the blog title How many trekking routes in Nepal.

  1. The major destination of each trek is different however other trekking routes in the same area may share somewhere.
  2. Some trekking routes are a combination of a few short trekking in Nepal to make it more adventurous and raise the difficulty level. Even separately they have their value and represent a different trekking route in the Himalayas of Nepal.
  3. Similarly, undiscovered rural villages, authentic traditional attractions like valleys, lakes, waterfalls, viewpoints, and glaciers to old classical trekking in Nepal are mentioned as different trekking routes.
  4. We are not counting any peak climbing and trekking passes above 6000m until they are widely known as trekking. For example, Amphu Lapcha Pass is a trekking route despite having a 6000m pass that needs ice climbing skills.
  5. Trekking Trail Nepal just mentions here the trekking route with the facility of a tea house or basic lodge. However, we mention some adventurous trekking that still needs the camping team to explore. These sorts of trekking routes are still the same today as they used to be decades ago. There is no development of lodges or other amenities except the trekking trail. This is because the area is wild, very less populated, and has harsh weather. In short, you will mostly accommodate at tea-house, homestays, hotels, or as paying guests. But you need camping support for your trekking in Nepal for a few trekking routes, like Upper Mustang Trekking, Dolpo Trekking, Round Dhauligiri Trek, etc.
  6. We include all the trekking trails in Nepal, without the evaluation of difficulty level, duration, open, preserve, or restricted area. Some of these routes are free, and some need permits and documentation, that you can explore on your own. While some trekking needs a Guide even with a legitimate company like Trekking Trail Nepal.
