The common thing you can find around Nepal is hospitality and helpful nature.

The people around the trekking trails are very kind and helpful. The snow-white view of the mountain will also make you think for a while whether you are on earth or in heaven. For some trekking can be thrilling and for some, walking at a high altitude location where all the area is covered with snow can be a definition of excitement. Whatever your definition of excitement is, this country will surely fulfill your thirst for the thrill.
