Nepal, the fabled land of Buddha, Hindu temples, and unrivaled mountain scenery, was controlled by a myriad of factions since the 4th century. The modern Nepalese state began in the late 18th century when King Prithvi Narayah Shah successfully unified most of the individual ethnic groups and small principalities into one entity. In search of additional lands, Nepal ventured into India, subsequently losing part of its own territory to British India, but retaining its independence. Nepal was at the time controlled by a monarch ( for life and by hereditary right ), but in 1951, the Nepalese monarch ( under great pressure ) ended that system of rule, and instituted a cabinet system of government. Only one year after the country's first election in 1959, King Kahendra dismissed the cabinet, dissolved parliament and banned political parties.
Since 1990, turmoil and Nepal have traveled hand-in-hand, as a bloody insurgency, a royal family massacre and assorted governmental conflicts and squabbles have dominated the headlines. In early 2005 ( once again ) the king dissolved the government and assumed power. In this poor country the tourism industry was once a significant economic force, as backpackers, river rafters, mountain climbers and nature lovers trekked to Nepal in large numbers.

| Jomsom & Muktinath Trek(12 Night 13 Days) |
|
The views of the mountains are spectacular, and the route actually crosses to the other side of the main Himalayan range for some unusual views of the northern flanks. The entire route remains below 3000 metres, though the trek is still strenuous enough to be stimulating (see the Route Profile for the trek around Annapurna ). This is a good trek if you wish to avoid high altitudes. |
