Backpacking is an outdoor pastime which is popular
in many parts of the world. Backpacking involves
hiking to a camping location while carrying a pack
which contains food and gear for the hikers.
Backpacking usually involves at least one night of
outdoor camping, but can last for months if hikers
replenish their supplies along the way. Many
mountainous regions of the world are popular among
backpackers, and several countries have well
established trails such as the Pacific Crest Trail
which are designed for backpackers and day hikers.
Travelers have camped and used packs for centuries.
In 1914, the word “backpack” in reference to a
travel pack first appeared in America. Overnight
camping expeditions became a common recreation
during the First World War because backpacking was
inexpensive and pleasurable. After the war,
backpacking continued to be a popular way to
experience nature.
When practiced safely, backpacking can be a fun and
beautiful adventure. Inexperienced backpackers
should take advantage of experience and backpack
with seasoned friends or travel companies. Outdoor
supply stores are usually happy to help backpackers
select the proper equipment. Especially when
choosing a pack, care should be taken to ensure
comfort and safety. Backpackers should also be aware
of weather conditions, and should follow the advice
of regional officials as they travel.

Some Tips for the Backpackers travel and Trekking in
Nepal.
Nepal ? A small,
land-locked country to the north and west of India
and south of China. Home to several of the world's
highest mountain peaks but also steamy, tropical
jungle. The world's only Hindu kingdom.
Why go there ? To trek
in some of the world's most beautiful high-altitude
scenery / To visit remote villages where cars and
electricity are distant possibilities / To visit a
wide range of ethnic and linguistic communities in a
pocket-sized country.
Drawback ? A six year
old Maoist insurgency is causing troubling times for
the nation, especially now the army is actively
fighting the insurgents. / Frequent electricity cuts
/ Incredibly bad roads that are made worse by
landslides.
Cultural Highlights ?
The city of Bhaktapur in the Kathmandu valley / The
various Buddhist or Hindu temples and stupas /
Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha / The women
singing together as they weed the rice paddy.
Natural Highlights ?
Mountain scenery, tropical jungle, raging rivers and
waterfalls - more potential for hydro electric power
than any other nation, friendly people, a
birdwatcher's paradise, amazing variety of
butterflies.
How long ? A month or
more if you have the time. But at least four days
for the Kathmandu valley, three days in Chitwan, a
week or ten days for a trek followed by the ease of
three days in Pokhara. And allow three days to
travel between those places and an extra day to get
to the airport.
Budget ? During the low
season a room can be had for three dollars and you
could probably eat for less than that each day, if
you had to. The popular tea house treks can be done
on the cheap as well. Generally, US$10 for those who
can live on the cheap, US$15 for a better room and a
beer or two at night.
Visa ? Yes for most
nations. Available at the airport or border on
arrival for US$30 for single entry visa, valid for
60 days. Then US$30 for each extra 30 days.
When to go ? The middle
of September until end of November is the peak
season for dry, cool weather and amazing mountain
visibility. February and March are also popular
times, although visibility can be less good.
