Trekking in Nepal is big business as not only the trekking companies benefit but also the guides, porters, hotels, handicrafts all the way down to the taxi drivers who bring you from the airport. It brings in foreign currency which is so important for the future of Nepal as well as helps to build an infrastructure for all who are connected in this industry. And if you look at the beginning of trekking in Nepal back at the end of the 1940`s when explorer Bill Tillman petitioned the King to allow several groups & when Colonel James Roberts considered to be the father of commercial trekking first brought groups to Nepal you can see just how far things have progressed.
Back then they had to follow the basic trails live in tents & carry the supplies for the entire journey & survive hardships modern trekkers never will get to face. Because now all of the major trails are well supplied with well trodden trails, multiple tea houses & lodges & even the occasional gift shop ( a few tables outside a local house) & medical centres if needed. With all of this though it doesn’t mean that the spirit of adventure trekking these trails has gone because you can still follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before. Marvel at the amazing snow capped peaks that were here when the first foreign traveller walked the trails before you. For all those who love the outdoors , & mountains its a must to hike these trails especially in Nepal because of the mystical lure it has on so many people.
