After reading Into Thin Air, you couldn’t pay me enough to climb the world’s tallest mountain. I understand why some would want to experience all of the agony it takes to reach the summit, but I’d rather leave that challenge to others. That isn’t to say that I wouldn’t want to check out Mt. Everest in all her glory. Nepal itself is a fascinating country and one that offers some of the best trekking around, even if you aren’t a technical climber. The [1] Classic Everest trek is one that I find particularly appealing. It takes you to rural Nepal and right up to Everest base camp where you can see where the magic all begins without actually having to experience the suffering involved with trying to summit.

If a trek in Nepal is not your style, check out the rest of BootsnAll’s [2] adventure travel and tours. Chances are you’ll find a trip that offers just what you are looking for.
