The Annapurna Region north of Pokhara probably shows Nepal's spectacular diversity at its finest. The deep valleys and high mountains encircling the giant Annapurna Himal (mountain) embrace a wide range of peoples and terrain from subtropical jungle to a high, dry landscape resembling the Tibetan plateau. This is the most popular trekking region. It's also among the tamest areas with excellent lodges lining the main trekking routes. There are three major trekking routes in this region: to Muktinath, to Annapurna Conservation Area Project and a circuit of the Annapurna Himal itself. The latter being one of the world´s classic hikes.
The Everest Region is famous for its spectacular mountain peaks and the loyalty and friendliness of its inhabitants, the Sherpas. The Everest region (Khumbu) is one of the most popular destinations for tourists in Nepal. While many of the routes through the mountains are arduous, there are also ample places to rest and enjoy a meal along the way. Furthermore, don't worry about getting lost, just ask a local the way to the next village on your route and they will direct you. Most Sherpas under the age of fifty can at least understand basic English and many speak it fluently.
