The regions of Everest, Annapurna and Langtang are those that offer more variety in terms of routes and scenery to explore
1) The Everest Region
The Everest region is located in the northeast of Nepal and is home to the world's highest peak, Mount Everest 8,848 meters (Do you know the mystery of the Everest?), The main attraction of the area. It is also place two thousand eight, and of several mountains over 6,000 meters. This natural park of over a thousand square kilometers is located above 3,000 meters where you can witness valleys and deep gorges with rivers in its path, extensive biodiversity in flora and fauna, several glaciers and dive into the Sherpa culture its people, from Tibet. The town of Lukla is the gateway to start trekking most because it has a small airport allowing faster access.
The best known and famous in the Everest region treks are: the trek to Everest Base Camp for approximately 13 days, witness the panoramic views of Mount Everest with fewer days itinerary and longer and more difficult trekking zone which cuts through the 3 big mountain passes of this region (Kalapattar, and Renjo Cho La La).
2) The Annapurna Region
The Annapurna region is definitely the favorite and popular among travelers because access is faster without getting flight tickets if you do not fancy. Also offers mountain trails of the best in the world rated by experts in hiking. This area is located to the northwest of Nepal and lies, among others, the peak of Annapurna I and Dhaulagiri with over eight thousand meters. Between these two lies the valley of the Kali-Gandaki River, the deepest canyon in the world which offers a huge diversity in its landscape; large intact natural forests, waterfalls, varied vegetation and the multitude of ethnic groups that inhabit the area. Phokara is the second largest and most important town in Nepal, often being the entrance and exit to this region.
In this case, the variety of treks to do is even wider if you named the most popular. The most complete of all the Annapurna Circuit where it reaches a height of 5.416m to cross the mountain pass of Thorung La. The trek to Annapurna Base Camp, also called "ABC", which reached the foot of the highest peak in this region. Finally, a much smoother and easier trekking but offers good views, called Ghorepani - Poonhill.
3) The Langtang Valley Region
Finally, the third most popular, though not as crowded, the area is Langtang Valley Region. This is located near the north of Kathmandu, but access remains just a long bus ride due to the mountains to be crossed. This park is not so famous as the previous two because no peaks over eight thousand meters away, but it is still less impressive by the scenery offered. From my point of view it is ideal for those wanting to be something else away from the crowds of tourists. It also offers several options ranging from hiking deep into her lush valley surrounded by peaks six and seven thousand meters, to visit some of the more than 100 existing lakes.
The most common is the trekking crossing the main valley to reach the village of Langtang and KyanginGumpa. Another recommended walk is the combining area of lakes with Gosaikunda and Helambu area, which is directly attached to the Kathmandu Valley. More information about the Langtang Trekking in 9 days.
