But, now the things are not same here in Nepal since few months back. The recent massive earthquake on the date 25 April, 2015 has changed a perspective of people and living of Nepalese. Nepal suffered a huge loss of life, property and mentality. They are in the phase of rebuilding up and gaining hope to rise again. Now, with the passing on time everything has started to come to normal and everyone has started to relive with their daily works and livelihood. But, for the trekkers and trekking lovers it has not been same. People are still stranded in several places because of earthquake and many tourists as well as local trekkers have lost their life. It is getting tougher to regain the courage to go to the trekking sites and for few months moreover the trekking has been closed.

But, it does not mean that this is the end of trekking in Nepal. Rather this is the time to rise up, feel strong and enjoy the new adventure and challenges. Most of the popular trekking routes like Everest Region, Annapurna Region, Manasalu Region, Mustang Rgion, Dolpo Trek, Arun Valley Trek, Family Holiday, Short & Easy Treks and few other regions are safe for trekking and along with those, several activities like rafting, jungle safari, cultural tours and other activities can still be done.
