What is Trekking?
Trekking means to walk in hilly and mountain region by foot.So trekking is defined as a form of walking, undertaken with the specific purpose of exploring and enjoying the scenery. It usually takes place on trails in areas of relatively unspoiled wilderness. Trekking is one of the best way to visit different kinds of places and their most spectacular and beautiful scenery,peoples and to know their culture,language,tradition and beliefs.

The great mountain ranges are some of the most beautiful and interesting areas of the world to visit. As they are often not served by roads, they can also be the most remote and difficult places to get to and the only real way to see them is on foot. For some people the trekking may be an end in itself, for others it is a means to enjoy the magnificent panoramas and often the peoples of the mountains with their culture, traditions and religions provide an equal interest to the Scenery.Culture Adventure Trekking is a pioneer adventure trekking company, the leading organizer of tours, trekking holidays & mountaineering, with the widest choice of the destination, style and duration in Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan and Sikkim/Darjeeling (India).
