Trekking is completely different from other forms of holiday or travel experiences and can be done in any part of the world. Compared to prebooked organized holidays it is more ‘open-plan’ and is governed more by local topography and weather conditions than the rigid keeping to prebooked airline or bus timetables.
 
Trekkers walk through areas not always accessible to organized tours. They are free to experience and sample the local scenery and interact with it as they please.
 Many areas are particularly popular with trekkers, especially the mountainous areas of the Himalayas in Nepal and Bhutan. But treks can be arranged in any area that appeals to the holiday maker for as long or as short as they wish.
 It is very important to have the right gear or equipment. A good backpack that is comfortably fitting is most important as many items necessary for various periods of trekking   are needed to be carried. A backpack which can hold 10 – 15 kilos of clothing and gear is ideal. Next are hiking boots that are both strong and comfortable. And, of course, warm clothing, a first aid kit and a supply of food and water. Of course, it is best to seek guidance from a professional trekking company who are the experts and will supply a qualified trekking guide who will give you expert guidance and make your trekking a most enjoyable experience.
