Chitwan National Park
Established in 1973, the Royal Chitwan National Park is the
oldest National Park and wildlife reserve in Nepal. the Royal Chitwan National
Park is located in the Tarai lowlands of South-Central Nepal. UNESCO designated
the park as a World Heritage Site in the year 1984. The park covers an area of
around 1000 square kilometers and supports a fragile ecosystem. It contains the
Churiya hills, ox-bow lakes and flood plains of Rapti, Reu, and Narayani Rivers
in its circumference.
As far as the flora is concerned, nearly 70% of the Royal
Chitwan National Park vegetation comprises Sal forest. The remaining vegetation
types include grassland (20%) and Pines (5%). The grasslands have a diverse
composition comprising more than 50 species. The Saccharin, popularly known as
elephant grass, can reach as high as 8 meters in height. The park also supports
a very vivid and distinct fauna. According to a conservative estimate by the
UNESCO, the park has at least 43 species of mammals, over 450 species of birds,
and more than 45 species of amphibians and reptiles. Among animals, one-horned
Rhinoceros, Tiger, and Crocodile are given special attention. It is estimated
that the current population of the endangered one-horned Rhino is around 400.
Apart from that, the park also has a sizeable population of Gaur, Wild
Elephant, four-horned Antelope, Striped Hyena, Pangolin, Gangetic Dolphin,
Monitor Lizard, Python, Chital, Hog, Deer, Barking Deer, Sloth Deer, Common
Leopard, Palm Civet and Rhesus Monkeys. A few of the common birds seen are
Peafowl, Red Jungle Fowl, and different species of egrets, Herons, Kingfishers,
Flycatchers and Woodpeckers.
Earlier, the Chitwan Valley was well known for big game
hunting and until 1950 was exclusively managed as a hunting reserve for the
Ranas and their guests. In 1973, His late Majesty King Mahendra approved, in
principle, the creation of Royal Chitwan National Park.

EVEREST TREKKING
The Tibetan name for Mount Everest is Chomolungma or
Qomolangma (meaning "Mother of the Universe"). According to English
accounts of the mid-19th century, the local name in Darjeeling for Mount
Everest was Deodungha, or "Holy Mountai.". In the 1960s, the
Government of Nepal gave the mountain an official Nepali name: Sagarmatha,
meaning "Head of the Sky".
In 1865, the mountain was given its English name by Andrew
Waugh, the British surveyor - general of India. With both Nepal and Tibet
closed to foreign travel, he wrote:
I was taught by my respected chief and predecessor, Colonel
Sir George Everest to assign to every geographical object its true local or
native appellation. But here is a mountain, most probably the highest in the
world, without any local name that we can discover, whose native appellation,
if it has any, will not very likely be ascertained before we are allowed to
penetrate into Nepal. In the meantime the privilege as well as the duty
devolves on me to assign…a name whereby it may be known among citizens and
geographers and become a household word among civilized nations.
Waugh chose to name the mountain after George Everest, Mount
Everest.
This region known as the Solu Khumbu is known around the
world as the famous home of the world's highest mountain. Mt. Everest, or
Sagarmatha as the Nepalese call it, rises 8,848 meters into the sky. The hike
to the base camp attracts trekkers from all over the globe.
Solu Khumbu is the district south and west of Mount Everest.
It is populated by sherpas, an ethnic group that has achieved fame because of
the exploites of its men on mountaineering expeditions. Khumbu is the name of
the northern half of this region, which includes the highest mountain in the
world and many of the 8,000m (26,247 ft) summits. Most of Khumbu is part of
Sagarmatha National Park. Solu, the southern portion is less rugged but it has
many interesting monasteries and villages. The attractions are the majestic
mountains, the villages in the high mountain valleys, the associated
monasteries, and the legendary inhabitants.
Everest Base Camp
The Everest region (or Solu Khumbu region, as it is locally
known) is the second most popular trekking area in Nepal (the Annapurna is the
first). The popularity of this region is derived, of course, from its proximity
to the world's highest mountain, but also from its Sherpa people and buddhist
monasteries.
Of the trek's strongest difficulties are it's up-and-down
walking (resulting from crossing ridges instead of walking along them) and it's
steep gain of altitude (especially for those starting at Lukla).
Although the trek is named the Everest Base Camp trek, the
main highlight of the trek is the walk up to Kala Pattar ("Black
Rock") peak, a magnificent view point at 5545 meters, offering astonishing
views of Mt. Everest and it's surrounding mountain peaks.
The trek takes you along the Dudh Kosi, Bhote Kosi and Imja
Kola rivers, all with blueish melted glacier water, past beautiful water
streams and, below 4000 meters, beautiful green forests with much wild life.
Past the tree line, above 4000 meters, the green pastures fade away and pass
control to rocky "moon-like" surroundings.
The Everest Base Camp itself is on the rocky slopes left of
the Khumbu Ice fall. The trail from Gorak Shep to the Base Camp is a 2 hour
walk in each direction on a difficult and sometimes dangerous ever changing
trail (resulting from the simple fact that we are walking on a huge glacier
covered with rocks !). On our way we encounter some beautiful ice caves and
rock formations. You can't actually see Mt. Everest from the Base Camp.
On the trek back to Lukla, we take a side trip to Phorche, a
beautiful village with some great kids and wildlife. Passing Phorche we come
across Mong La, a small tea-house village on the top of a ridge featuring a
typical buddhist stupa surrounded by the distinctive Ama Dablam 6856-meter-high
peak and other mountains. The route from Mong La connects us to Khumjung, from
where we follow the trail through Namche back to Lukla. From Lukla we fly back
to the crowded noisy and polluted city of Kathmandu.
Trekking to the Everest Base Camp is one of the most popular
treks available. This trek has a number of stunning attractions, the foremost
being the satisfaction gained by reaching the base of the highest mountain in
the world. Other attractions include the spectacular scenery of the Himalayan
ranges. The Everest trek involves a tremendous amount of uphill and downhill
walking. everest base camp

Mustang, "The Forbidden Kingdom" is situated north
of the Himalayas and juts out onto the Tibetan Plateau. The region of Mustang
has more in common culturally and geographically with Tibet than it does with
the rest of Nepal . A journey into Mustang is like traveling back in time for a
glimpse of what Tibet might have been before the Chinese occupation. Mustang
retains much of its cultural autonomy and is administered by its own King or
Raja, the 25th successor of his lineage. It is no wonder why it was opened for
western visitors only after 1992.This magical journey in time begins.
At present Mustang is a very popular trekking region in
Nepal . The Home Ministry of Nepal announced the Opening of the restricted
areas in October 1991. There is also strict control in obtaining a special
permit from the Department of Immigration to protect their tradition from
outside influence as well as to protect their environment. According to
government rule, liaison officers should always accompany with the trekking
groups. The region of the Tibetan influence, Kaligandaki, from the Tibetan
border south to Kagbeni is generally referred to as “Upper Mustang". The
trek to Lo Manthang is through an almost tree-less barren landscape, a steep
rocky trail up and down hill and panoramic views of Nilgiri, Annapurna,
Dhaulagiri and several other peaks make your trek memorable.
