Treasure Coast

Treasure Coast is a region on the east coast of Florida. It has beautiful beaches and many opportunities to see nature, and have fun. It is comprised of Indian River County, St. Lucie County, and Martin County.

Cities
Despite the Treasure Coast being a relatively small area, there are many historic cities for you to enjoy, some larger than others, but all retain a sort of small town feel.
 * — A sprawling tropical city; the hotspot and largest city of the Treasure Coast.
 * — the largest county seat in the area with its Spanish colonial buildings and the ever popular Sunrise Theatre; sister city of San Francisco, California
 * — This town is closest to the Jonathan Dickinson State Park.
 * — Small town adding to the charm of the region, with a booming downtown area and great spots for boating. The town is shown in the banner above.
 * — Largest town in Martin County, home to a large area known as Martin Downs, with an equestrian center and a golf course.
 * — A beautiful city with neat architecture in the thriving downtown.
 * — Home of Pelican Island, this small town will charm you with all of its friendly residents, except for the "six old grouches!"
 * — home of the annual Frog Leg Festival
 * — Original spring training home of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Understand
The Treasure Coast is a booming coastal area that grew from a swamp of nothingness to a resort oasis of 600,000 for many hotels, the PGA, the St. Lucie Mets, and many beautiful natural habitats and preserves. The self-proclaimed capital of the region is Port St. Lucie, which is the Florida home of the New York Mets and the PGA. In the suburban cities of the region are historic downtown regions and boating ramps giving access to the Atlantic.

The Treasure Coast consists of two metropolitan areas, the Port St. Lucie MSA (St. Lucie and Martin Counties) and the Sebastian-Vero Beach MSA (Indian River County). The climate on the Treasure Coast retains a relatively warm climate throughout the year, about 60 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter to about 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit in the summertime.

You can't visit the Treasure Coast without the opportunity to find sunken treasure from the 1715 loss of 11 ships in a Spanish treasure fleet during a hurricane in the area. Treasure has been found off the coast of Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Sebastian, and Vero Beach. Much treasure has not yet been recovered, so who knows what can be down at the ocean floor for you to dig up!

Talk
Due to the close location to the Miami metropolitan area, it is good to know at least some Spanish, just to get you through Miami if you plan to go there. Also, the Treasure Coast is a region built from scratch in the South, so Southern accents may be quite common, and it may be useful to know some of the Southern jargon.

It's not uncommon to hear these Southern slang words, even if some people don't speak with a Southern drawl/twang (word: definition):
 * Y'all: you all, all of you
 * Buggy: shopping cart
 * Yankee: Northerner
 * Pocketbook: purse, checkbook, wallet
 * Hit the road: leave
 * Spigot: faucet

By car
The Treasure Coast is served by Interstate 95, the Florida Turnpike, and U.S. Highway 1. Popular alternative routes include US A1A along Hutchinson Island, the barrier island bordering the ocean, and Indian River Drive, which runs the length of the Indian River Lagoon.

I-95 reaches the Treasure Coast from Bridge Road in Hobe Sound to Fellsmere Road in Fellsmere.

If you want to go here from or around Lorton, Virginia (or the Washington DC area), you can also take the Auto Train to Sanford and drive from there. (see above)

By plane
Most of these airports are outside of the region, but they are the closest commercial hubs. Airports in the region are general use airports, so bring your own plane! General airports in the region are:
 * St. Lucie County International Airport
 * Martin County at Witham Field
 * Vero Beach Municipal Airport Breeze Airways is the only commercial airline to Vero Beach and directly in  to the Treasure Coast.
 * Sebastian Municipal Airport

By train
The closest Amtrak station is in West Palm Beach; within the next few years this region will get one. The Florida East Coast Railroad has plans to remake its historical passenger line and allow Amtrak trains; the FEC's main line hasn't heard the rumbling wheels of passenger trains since the 1970s by the consolidation of passenger lines to form Amtrak. The proposed stations are to be located in Fort Pierce, Stuart, and Vero Beach. In the meantime the below are the next closest stations to the treasure coast. From the train stations, travelers would still need to rent a car to continue to the Treasure Coast.

Get around
In the Downtown district of most cities, everything is walking distance, but otherwise it is good to have a car. Public transportation is very limited, and most natives have their own vehicle. Visiting tourists and "snowbirds" from urban areas often express exasperation at the difference in distance between destinations on the Treasure Coast, and Florida in general. You pretty much need a car to get anywhere.

By bus/public transport
The specific bus routes listed are those that get travelers across the county end to end on US 1 or on another road:
 * For the big cities of St. Lucie County (Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie), there is a bus service. The Area Regional Transit (ART) serves the southern and central Treasure Coast from the Treasure Coast Square Mall in Jensen Beach to Downtown Fort Pierce. The routes of the TCC include: US-1 from Jensen Beach to Fort Pierce, PSL City Hall to Tradition, a downtown "trolley" in Port St. Lucie, two routes in Fort Pierce, a route through St. Lucie West, and a new route from Fort Pierce to south Vero Beach.
 * 1 Treasure Coast Mall - Wal-Mart @ SE Lennard Rd & US 1 in Port St Lucie to Ave 'D' & 8th in Ft Pierce
 * 7 Ft Pierce to South Vero Beach

 * For Martin County (Stuart, Jensen Beach, Indiantown), there is a brand new bus service serving the major cities and communities of the county. The Marty transit system takes you from southern Port St. Lucie to south Stuart via the Treasure Coast Connector and two separate routes serving two cities; one route runs through Indiantown, and the other city route runs through Stuart, mostly in the downtown area. The following routes traverse connects Palm Beach County, through Martin County, to St Lucie County along US 1:
 * 20x Palm Beach Gardens Mall in North Palm Beach to Hobe Sound (Martin Memorial Health & Indian River State College)
 * 1 Hobe Sound (Martin Memorial Health & Indian River State College) - Stuart - Port St Lucie Wal-Mart @ SE Lennard Rd & US 1

 * For Indian River County (Sebastian and Vero Beach), serving almost the entire county with major hubs at the Vero Beach Airport, the two local malls, and another hub at US-1 and Oslo Road, the GoLine Indian River Transit system takes you from the Vero Beach Airport throughout Indian River County, even serving the IRSC Main Campus in Fort Pierce. The best part is no fares.

There are connections between each transit system at: the main Indian River State College campus in Fort Pierce, South Point Plaza in Vero Beach, and the Treasure Coast Square Mall in Jensen Beach. The Treasure Coast Connector is the system that links the GoLine IRT to the "Marty", from Indian River to Martin counties.

By car
In the region, everything is within driving range, from the city hospitals to the local malls. Major highways in the area include: I-95, Florida's Turnpike, US-1 and State Roads A1A, 60, and 70. The Turnpike's rough paralleling of I-95 ends in Fort Pierce, after which it diverts northwest, eventually crossing I-4 and ending at I-75 in Wildwood. I-95 continues up the region, not exactly on the East Coast of Florida, but through flatlands.

By boat
On most of the Treasure Coast, you can get from town to town via the Intracoastal Waterway. This waterway can also be used to reach Hutchinson Island, on the other side. From one end of the coast to the other (Stuart to Sebastian), it should be 2 hours at the most. There are many marinas along the coast if you plan to launch a boat.

See
Four species of sea turtle nest on Hutchinson Island, so Turtle Walks, in season, can be a spectacular sight. It is best to go with a group such as those offered by FPL through its Energy Encounter museum (see above). Be warned that it is both illegal and harmful to take a flashlight onto the beach. Turtles are easily distracted by bright lights and a flashlight may easily scare off a nesting adult or lead a hatchling away from the sea to its death.

Martin County
Stuart and Jensen Beach have downtown areas worth visiting. Downtown Stuart is centered around a giant sailfish statue and contains several beautiful buildings, great food and lots of fun shops, and holds great parades around Memorial Park for national holidays, while Jensen Beach features an artistic beachy downtown which was once an old college town and still retains the college town feel.

St. Lucie County
Fort Pierce's booming downtown is full of many beautiful Spanish colonial and Mediterranean revival style buildings, and its close location to the coast makes great views from the sidewalks.

Port St. Lucie City Center is a soon-to-be downtown in PSL, and there is a civic center building, a small amphitheater, a parking garage and a bus service. Plans are going into effect to build office buildings and hotels on the empty blocks around the civic center. Also in Port St. Lucie is the Town of Tradition, PSL's main shopping center, featuring the local Target, Kilwins, and the Taste of Little Italy Festival; and Tradition Field, the spring training home of the New York Mets, is close by: the stadium is in Port St. Lucie. St. Lucie West is one of the best known neighborhoods in PSL, home to many "strip malls" and a wide variety of restaurants and food choices to suit anyone's taste, from barbecue to pizza and everything in between.

Indian River County
Downtown Vero Beach is made up of varied businesses from eclectic shops like those in the Pueblo Arcade to Vero’s government buildings. Enjoy a quiet breakfast at one of the many cafes or treat yourself to lunch or dinner at one of the many ethnic restaurants. Most downtown buildings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Beaches
Stuart Beach has facilities and good waves, and is a beautiful family beach. Bathtub Beach, enclosed in a reef, is a great place to find crabs and other small aquatic animals during low tide this; however, it does not have facilities. Jensen Beach, with more adventurous waters, is great and includes facilities.

Diving

You can stroll through the amazing park at the Oceanogaphic Center and learn about, and see, ocean creatures and plants

Bathtub Reef and the Indian River are great places to learn to snorkel. Both are protected waters with a great deal of sealife. Ask at the Oceanographic Center or St. Lucie County Aquarium (at the north and south ends of Hutchinson island, respectively, for tips on conditions and locations.

Dive for sunken treasure. The Treasure Coast wouldn't be called such a place without the 1715 wreck off the middle of the coast. People have been hunting here since the 1900s, and much treasure has not yet been uncovered.

Eat
Mulligan's is a restaurant chain in Martin and Indian River counties, and further south in Lake Worth and Lauderdale by the Sea. Here, visitors can chow down on more than 50 dishes, including Mahi Mahi Sliders and any of their 7 lobster dishes; steak, ribs and jerk chicken are available as an alternative. They're also known for their Baja Fish Tacos or the BBOB, the "Best Burger on Beach." Their restaurants' opening hours are Su-Th 8AM-10PM, F Sa 8AM-midnight.

Another locally-favorite chain of restaurants is Duffy's, which started out further south in Palm Beach County, and found considerably large business on the Treasure Coast with the three restaurants in the region. They've expanded far along South Florida, even owning a location in Orlando. Duffy's Sports Grill offers almost 100 choices on its menu, including burgers, steak, ribs, wings, and seafood, and its opening hours are Su-Th 11AM-11PM; F Sa 11AM-midnight.

Drink
Just about every restaurant on the Treasure Coast has a bar or an extensive liquor selection, mostly wine and beer and well-known cocktails, such as martinis, daiquiris, and Bloody Marys. The best restaurants to visit for cocktails and alcohol would be a sports bar or a "pub".

Stay safe
Florida’s beaches are generally well maintained and guarded; they're reasonably safe. Nonetheless, rip currents and jellyfish can challenge even the best swimmer. Pay close attention to lifeguard instructions and warning signs. Never swim outside of marked zones. Wear shoes on the beach to protect your feet from glass and hot sand. When boating, monitor your weather radio frequently. Do not swim or operate a boat when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Florida’s crime rate is slightly lower than the national average. Local authorities do an excellent job of patrolling the tourist areas. Use the same precautions that you would in any big city. Keep a close eye on your purse or backpack, especially when shopping or visiting attractions. Lock your car and stash valuables out of sight. Avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar neighborhoods.

Although Florida’s roads are frequently upgraded, traffic tends to be quite heavy through tourist areas. Try to avoid driving during morning and evening rush hours. Allow extra time to reach your destination; stay in the right lane except when passing. The roads can be confusing, so use a good GPS system or plan your route carefully on a map before leaving. Toll roads are well-maintained and lightly trafficked, making them an excellent alternative to the interstates.

Go next

 * I-95 and US-1 both lead south towards West Palm Beach, and Miami and north towards Jacksonville, the Space Coast, and St. Augustine.
 * Orlando is a 2-hour drive north along the Florida Turnpike.
 * The outer Gainesville area can also be reached by the Turnpike.
 * The Tampa Bay can be reached from the Treasure Coast via State Road 60 from Vero Beach.

Trekking in Nepal

Trekking in Nepal is one of the unique experiences of Asia. The country has eight of the top ten highest summits in the world and some of the most beautiful landscapes, which are only reachable on foot.

Trekking is the most popular activity in Nepal, and travellers will be bombarded on the streets of Kathmandu and the trekking hub, Pokhara, with guides, organised tours and, gear for sale or rent. The huge variety of options allows people of many ages and capabilities to attempt a trek in the country. While you could spend a year planning an expedition to wild and lofty places that few would dare attempt, you could also arrive in Kathmandu with no plans and be on the trail in a few days.

Despite what many may perceive, trekking in Nepal is not necessarily wandering alone through an uncharted wilderness. As they walk along the well-marked trekking paths, travellers will often discover quite the opposite; hundreds of locals pass through each day as they haul food, water, and other necessities back to their tiny villages, along with dozens of fellow trekkers. The regularly-spaced villages and teahouses allow trekkers good opportunities to rest and recover, either for a few minutes or the night. The Nepalese people's strong culture and unreserved friendliness can also be witnessed as one traverses the hill tracks.

When to go
The best seasons for trekking are the dry and warm seasons, March–June and September–November. During these times, the temperature is bearable and, skies are usually clear, although the skies are foggier and the rain begins in May–June. It is possible to trek out of season, but expect lots of rain and leeches during the summer monsoon season and severe cold and closed passes during winter. See also the Nepal climate section.

Experience and fitness
There are treks suitable for a wide range of experience and physical fitness. If you can walk uphill for a few hours each day, then you can find a suitable trek in Nepal. An easy trek with Nepali support (guide and porter) and teahouse accommodation is quite attainable for anyone who is reasonably fit. Longer treks, crossing high passes and into remote regions demand a higher degree of endurance. For trekking peaks, i.e. summiting a mountain of, it is desirable to have some alpine climbing experience.

Equipment and supplies
It is best to take only what you need and leave the rest behind. Your needs while trekking will be simple.

It is possible to buy or rent everything you need in the Thamel neighbourhood of Kathmandu and Pokhara, although it is better to use footwear that is already broken in. Good bargains can be had on fleeces and down jackets but the knock-offs of brand name goods sold in Nepal are not good quality.

The main essentials to bring are sturdy and comfortable hiking boots, a sleeping bag (depending on your accommodation), a daypack, and a few changes of clothes for the varying temperatures. For cold weather, hiking pants, thermals, gloves, neck warmer or scarf, beanie, a warm inner jacket and a windproof and waterproof outer jacket are essential. Other items to bring include a hiking stick or two, waterproof case, fabric bandages such as moleskin, a headlamp, water purification supplies, altitude sickness and other medication, a camera, and binoculars.

On the popular trekking routes, everyday supplies, such as toilet paper, soap, chocolate bars, and even basic hiking supplies can be purchased along the way, though prices rise dramatically as you go higher in elevation. Try to stock up lower down and buy locally-produced products such as fruit, coconut biscuits and bon bon biscuits.

Maps are easy to find in Nepal, although they may not be totally accurate.

For the more difficult treks involving mountaineering, crampons and ice axes may be required.

Guided vs. independent treks
Whether to join an organized group, trek unguided with other independent travelers, or to hire your own guide and/or porter is a personal decision to be based on the difficulty of the trek and available budget.

Guided treks legally must be organized through TAAN registered trekking agencies in Kathmandu and Pokhara. No one else — no hotel, no street broker, no nice person you just met, not even a trekking guide — is legally authorized to organize a trek. During the main seasons, the agencies run regular group treks, and it is generally easy to find a group doing the trek of your choice. All the necessary trekking gear, food, fuel and other goods are carried by the porters. The cook will prepare all the meals during the camping trek. Trekkers carry only a small bag as required for the day. At night, tents for dining, sleeping and washing are provided and set up. Mattresses, sleeping bags, tables and seating are arranged by staff. For large group treks, a Sirdar (chief guide) is employed to pre-arrange and then to oversee the entire program. A Sherpa (assistant guide) is also hired to lead the staff and assist the Sirdar. All land transportation, local permits, taxes, porter insurance, port dues and entrance fees to National Parks or sites that are part of the trip are arranged by the agency.

When signing up with an agency, you should speak with several and make detailed inquiries about the differences in service besides just the base cost. Recommendations from others you might know who have used the services of guides or trekking companies can be very helpful. Some guides or trekking organizations provide better and more professional services than others. This could affect merely your convenience and comfort or, when significant altitude gain or a difficult route is involved, could become a real safety issue. Having someone along who is experienced, professional and attentive could be very important.

If you are employing the services of guides and porters, it is customary to present a tip to the head guide at the end of the trip. This will be divided up between the various people employed in your group. Like most tips, the amount will vary depending on the quality of services provided, but it could be between 5% and 10% of the total cost of your trek.

Independent trekking is quite easy in the main trekking areas.

If hiring staff independently and without an agency, be mindful of your responsibilities to ensure that your guide is suitably equipped for the job and stays safe. Also know that foreigners on a tourist visa are not legally allowed to hire any staff directly.

Beginning in March 2023, travellers who trek in remote regions must hire a government-licensed guide or join a group. This rule was implemented because of the cost of search-and-rescue operations for trekkers who get lost.

Required permits
Police check points are numerous and unavoidable and park officers can check your permits at any time, with a fine of double the normal cost if you are caught without the proper permits. Do not try to bribe officers or police personnel; it might get you in more trouble than you think. You must purchase conservation or national park entry and TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) card.

TIMS card
The Trekkers' Information Management System (TIMS) card is required for several treks in Nepal. There are two types of TIMS cards:
 * Green (independent trekkers) – Rs. 2,000
 * Blue (trekkers who are part of a tour with a guide) – Rs. 1,000

Individual TIMS (green cards) are obtainable only from Nepal Tourism Board offices in Kathmandu and Pokhara and from the Trekking Agents Association of Nepal office. Trekking agents are not legally authorized to obtain individual TIMS (even though some small trekking agents may offer the individual TIMS). For information on how to get a TIMS card, see TIMS Nepal. Make sure that you bring the required insurance documentation, a photocopy of your passport, and passport-sized photographs when applying.

Treks in Annapurna, Khumbu, and Langtang/Helambu
Treks in these areas only require national park entry tickets (prices vary per park) and the Khampu Municipality fee. The fee is 2000 Nepali Rupees. People do not need TIMS for Everest region treks.

Treks in restricted areas
Restricted areas such as Dolpo, Mustang, Manaslu, and Kanchenjunga require "trekking permits" (but not the TIMS card), which are obtainable only through trekking agents.

Trekking peaks
There are 33 mountain peaks in Nepal of 5,650-6,500 m height classified as trekking peaks. Climbing permits for these peaks cost US$350 for one to four members, an additional US$40 each for the next four members and US$25 each for the final four members. Trekking peaks require a qualified "climbing guide", permits and deposits to cover camp waste disposal.

Sleep
Be sure to research the type of accommodation available on your trek before embarking.

Tea houses (lodges) at settlements at various points on the trek offer dorm room accommodation and simple basic meals reflective of what the local people in the area eat. Although many tea houses and hotels in the hills and mountains are reasonably comfortable, some may be dirty and rather basic. In areas where chimneys are rare, dining rooms may be smoky. Bedrooms and dorm rooms will not be heated. Note that linens are not provided by the lodges, and nights can get very cold, so it makes sense to bring a sleeping bag even for teahouse treks.

Camping can be conducted almost anywhere in the country. Camping treks can be fully organized and supported with a team of guides (who may or may not be Sherpas), cooks, and porters to accompany you.

Homestays in local villages can be organized.

Trekking themes
Treks can be customized based on your desires. Some treks are designed to see the best mountainous views, some are designed to expose life in the villages, some are designed based around detox or healthy living programs, while others include daily yoga and meditation classes. Ask around and consult with local guides to find a trek that best suits your interests.

Responsible trekking

 * Trek legally. If you trek independently, you are not allowed to take any staff by law. For this you need a trekking agency authorized to employ staff for foreign trekkers. Do not hire staff or "independent guides" through hotels, unless they have a trekking agent licence or offer this service through an affiliated trekking agent.
 * Please make sure you take all of your trash, including bottles and cans from goods consumed in restaurants, to the nearest truck-accessible road for the most proper disposal available. You may note pollution and lack of trash management in villages on treks—including trash-clogged rivers and mounds of discarded beer bottles. Nepal is struggling with its rapid development and hasn't yet figured out how to dispose of its waste. Don't contribute to the problem any more than necessary!
 * Plastic water bottle use is increasing around the Himalayas. Try to use locally available water; you can use purification tablets, which are easily available, and most tablets make water drinkable within 30 minutes.
 * After your trek, you can donate your clothes to the porters' clothing bank, which is managed by the KEEP association. This bank is in the Thamel neighbourhood of Kathmandu and provides clothes to the trekking porters.

Itineraries
Detailed itineraries, including elevation and hiking time between every major stop, are available online by searching for the name of the trek. See above for required permit fees for these itineraries and be sure to research accommodation options before embarking on the trek.

The Great Himalayan Trail is a 1,700-km trek that connects all the main trekking areas. It is possible to make this trek with a coterie of very good guides, cooks, porters, equipment (including technical gear) and payment of many expensive fees. The window for completing this trek is exceedingly short as snow closes the high passes for much of the year. The government is also proposing a similarly long trekking route crossing the pahar or mid-hills of Nepal; however, no one has actually trekked and outlined an actual route.

Annapurna Region
The Annapurna Region, north of the middle hills city and the trekking base city of Pokhara, includes Annapurna I, the 10th tallest mountain in the world at 8,091 m above sea level, as well as thirteen additional peaks over 7,000 m and 16 more peaks over 6,000 m. All of these treks offer amazing views of this mountain range.
 * Annapurna Circuit (18–21 days) – circling the Annapurna Mountains
 * Annapurna Sanctuary (14 days) – an oval-shaped plateau 40 km north of Pokhara, at 4,000 m above sea level. Trek through the sanctuary to Annapurna Base Camp.
 * Annapurna Base Camp (7–10 days) – can be reached via various routes.
 * Poon Hill (3–5 days), at 3,210 m above sea level, north-west of Pokhara, is the most famous viewpoint in Western Nepal.
 * Jomsom Muktinath Trek (5–10 days) – treks to Jomson, a village on the other side of the Annapurna mountains that can also be reached by air, and Ghorepani, a village that is 2,750 m above sea level. This area is always very windy.
 * The Royal Trek (3–4 days) – an easy trek with excellent views of the mountains and local villages. The trek was made famous by Prince Charles.
 * Mardi Himal (5,587 m) (4–7 days) – a trek that offers amazing views at the summit of Mardi Himal.
 * Khopra/Khayer Lake Trek (7–14 days) – a sacred lake at 4,500 m asl, reachable via a moderate/strenuous hike.
 * Sikles Trek (4–7 days) – a camping- and homestay-based trek through the villages and the Gurung settlement of Siklis.
 * Panchase Trek (3–5 days) – a popular easier trek with great views.
 * Kande to Australian Camp to Pothana to Dhampus to Phedi, or reverse (3–4 days) – an easy trek for those that do not want to try the more challenging treks. Cost for 2 people include a guide and an overnight stay is US$200. Drive to Kande at 1770 m and then trek uphill. This part of the hike offers great views of the World Peace Pagoda and Lake Fewa on clear days as well as a chance to meet Nepali life in the countryside. Australian Camp and Pothana are small villages with small pubs and great views of Mount Fishtail and the large Annapurna Mountains that are over 8,000 m. It is recommended to spend a night in each location to enjoy the sunrise and the sunset. The hike from Kande to Australian Camp is more steps, while the hike from Dhampus to Phedi is a dirt road, so you may want to consider doing this trek in reverse.
 * Gurung Heritage Trek (5–7 days) – Hike through the villages of the Gurung ethnic group, known for being humble with a great sense of humour.
 * Upper Mustang Trek (12–16 days) – the former Kingdom of Lo that has a culture very similar to Tibet, has amazing Trans-Himalayan scenery although it is a difficult trek because of high altitude, exposed terrain and continual strong winds. This trek, which is accessible via a flight to Jonson from Pokhara, requires a restricted area permit of US$500 per 10 days, making it less favourable for budget travellers.
 * Naar-Phu Valley Trek (12–15 days) – a hidden Tibetan valley just north of the Annapurna Circuit which was opened to visitors in 2002. Entrance is form Koto near Chame, and exit via 5300-m-high Kang La pass to Ngawal. A few basic lodges, but camping style trek still recommended. Nine days from Koto to Ngawal with two days in each major village Phugaon and Naar.
 * Manaslu Trek (14–21 days) – Manaslu is the 8th highest mountain in the world at 8,156 m above sea level. Hike unspoiled trails through remote villages and over the Larke pass at 5,135 m (stay at the new lodge) to circuit the mountain. Some lodges are a little basic, so it remains for the adventurous, though camping is not necessary. This area is still restricted and you are required to have special permits and the services of a guide.

Kathmandu Valley Region

 * Nagarkot (2 days) – offers a great spot for watching surrounding mountain ranges at sunrise or sunset from atop the hill.
 * The Kathmandu Valley Cultural Trekking Trail (5 days), includes treks to Nagarkot and Dhulikhel

 * Indigenous Peoples Trail - a cultural delight with marvelous viewpoints through the Ramechhap district, just east of Kathmandu

Langtang region

 * Helambu & Gosainkunda Trek – a short taxi ride from Thamel to the roadhead at Shivapuri leads to a trail through the middle-hills countryside of Helambu, either circuit around and return to Kathmandu or cross the pass to the sacred Gosainkunda lake (4,380 m), descend and then hike up the Langtang valley
 * Langtang Valley Trek – start in Shyaphru Besi (bus from Kathmandu) and hike up the Langtang valley beneath stunning mountains that form the border with Tibet. Reach Kyanjin Gompa (3,830 m), where you can decide to continue further, climb the peaks just above the village, or descend back.
 * Tamang Heritage Trail (5–7 days) – cultural trek to meet the Tamang people, as well as enjoying great scenery in the Langtang Himalayas.

Mount Everest region

 * Khumbu - Take the bus to Jiri or fly to Lukla then hike up to Namche, capital of the Sherpa lands at the foot of Everest.
 * Everest Base Camp Trek and ascent of Kalar Patar - Visit the Buddhist Tengboche monastery for the Mani Rimdu festival in November. Explore the Gokyo valley with its sacred lakes and stupendous views of four 8000-m peaks. Or a circuit of the region crossing the high passes or Cho La and Renjo La.
 * Island Peak Trek (trekking peak) – takes in some of the most spectacular scenery in the Himalayas.
 * Mera Peak (trekking peak) – During the ascent of Mera Peak (6461 m), enjoy panoramic views of Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Cho-Oyu (8,201 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Makalu (8,463 m), Kangchenjunga (8,586 m), Nuptse (7,855 m), and Chamlang (7,319 m).
 * Makalu Barun is the 5th highest mountain in the world at 8,481 m above sea level. Makalu Base Camp, at 5,000 m, can be reached using tea-house accommodation. This trek gives the opportunity to see rhododendrons, orchids, snow leopards, red panda, musk deer, wild boar, wild yak, and Himalayan thar.
 * Numbur Cheese Circuit (12–14 days)

Chitwan Region

 * Chitwan Chepang Hills Trail (from the Trishuli River to the terai).

Far Eastern Nepal

 * Milke Daada Ridge (7 days) – Spectacular views at 3,500 m asl and a visit to the bazaar town of Chainpu.
 * Kanchenjunga, meaning Five Treasures of the Great Snow, is the 3rd highest mountain in the world at 8,586 m above sea level. It is in far-eastern Nepal on the border with Sikkim in India, and the trek starting point is accessible via flight or bus to Taplejung. This is a strenuous trek that takes 3 or 4 weeks through sparsely populated country. There is very basic tea house accommodation and food available in all villages, though Lhonak has very limited accommodation but a tent can be rented in Ghunsa from the KCAP official. The threat of avalanche is nigh and the mountain receives a lot of monsoon moisture due to its location. Peak 5950 is also a more doable trek along this mountain.

Far Western Nepal

 * Rara National Park (8 days) – a remote trek that is hard to get to. The mountain views are not as nice as some of the other treks, but the highlight of this trek is a view of Nepal's largest lake
 * Humla and Mount Kailash (18 days) – a trek that includes entrance into Tibet.
 * Api and Saipal Himal (16 days) – a remote off the beaten track trek to the mountains of far-western Nepal
 * Khaptad National Park (7–10 days) – a remote trek to Khaptad National Park that stretches over four districts of Province No.7 namely, Bajhang, Bajura, Achham and Doti.
 *  Dolpa Trek (15–21 days) – Upper Dolpa is the remote Land of the Bon, almost as Tibetan as Nepali. Lower Dolpa is more accessible and can be reached by plane.

Altitude sickness
Please read up extensively on Altitude sickness. Be familiar with the symptoms and do not ignore them. Be sure to keep to a conservative ascent schedule and drink plenty of fluids. If you or anyone in your party begins to experience symptoms of acute mountain sickness (AMS), do not ascend any further, and if they do not improve, then descend to a lower altitude. Carry some diamox (acetazolamide) pills, which can be bought in pharmacies in Nepal. Diamox forces the kidneys to excrete bicarbonate in the urine, therefore making the blood more acidic, which stimulates breathing, increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood. Diamox is not an immediate fix for acute mountain sickness; it speeds up part of the acclimatization process which in turn helps to relieve symptoms. This may take up to a day or two, and requires waiting without any further rapid ascent. It is often advisable to descend if even mild acute mountain sickness is experienced. If serious sickness is encountered or symptoms of high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) or high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) occur, descent with another trekker is a must.

Please consult the pharmacist when purchasing Diamox and do your own research. There is also a free talk in Manang given on altitude sickness every day during season. One thing that is often overlooked is that your body requires large amounts of water at altitude to counteract sickness so be sure to drink more than you are used to!

Water & food contamination
Buy antibiotics for stomach infections while at the pharmacy. Getting a script for bacterial and a script for amoebic infections is recommended. Pharmaceuticals are cheap in Nepal!

For drinking water, the best practice is to treat all water as being contaminated - especially water in the cities. Although bottled water is often available, the disposal of the plastic bottles is a serious problem with no easy solution. Please do not buy bottled water on the trek as there are no rubbish disposal systems on the trek. It is less expensive and better for the environment to treat your own water. The main two options for trekkers are to use the safe drinking water stations along the trek for a small fee or bring your own water purifiers. Chlorination and iodine tablets are available in the main cities. You can also use a filter with a ceramic cartridge or a UV treatment system such as a Steripen which should remove anything 1 micron in size or larger. You might want to combine two of these systems just to make sure you have made the water completely safe. Use treated water for drinking and for brushing your teeth.

Safety considerations
Always carry a head torch or lamp, water, some food, and a mobile phone with helicopter evacuation number (on trekking profile) in case of emergencies. Know about the symptoms, cause, and precautions of altitude sickness and take first-aid training about Acute Mountain Sickness before trekking in the higher elevation. Also, keep update of a week-long weather forecast of the Himalayas during the trekking period.

Criminal activity
Some trails are known for encounters with desperate bandits although this is fairly rare. However, take some sensible precautions while trekking in the Himalayas. Don't carry cash and don't wander alone leaving your group. If any serious problem is aroused, call the tourist police for the help.

Rescue insurance
Before the departure check that your travel insurance covers trekking activities and the conditions. Be aware that some insurance companies view even walking in the mountains as "mountaineering" and will not provide coverage. You may have to shop around. Most reputable trekking agencies will require proof of rescue insurance before you start on your trek. It would be very costly to pay a helicopter rescue at 5000 meters.

Trekking alone
Make sure you trek with other people—especially on side treks with unclear paths. If a problem occurs, it is much easier to get help if others are nearby. Many people have gone missing or died on treks. If you do not have a trekking partner, in Kathmandu or Pokhara, it is usually easy to find other like-minded people with similar travel plans in and trek together. Even if you start at the trail head alone you are likely to meet the same people along the trail and share lodges at night. You can also check websites such as trekkingpartners.com,

Trelew

Trelew is a city in eastern Patagonia, founded by settlers from Wales and located southwest of Puerto Madryn, about 20 km from the Atlantic coast. With about 100,000 inhabitants, it is the second town by population in Argentina's Chubut province. It is not a touristy city and has few attractions, but may be a convenient stopover.

Understand
Trelew is located in the fertile Río Chubut valley, where mainly fruit (particularly cherries) and vegetables are grown. It serves as a service center for the region and has a large wool-processing industry sector. The city was founded in 1886 by Welsh settlers. It has few historical buildings, but its city center feels unique in the region because of the large number of narrow streets and walkways, called pasajes.

The city is a good base for excursions to places like Rawson and its beaches, the Punta Tombo reserve and Camarones and is well connected via public transport to the rest of the province. The climate is arid, windy and fairly sunny, typical for Central Patagonia, with warm to hot summers and cool winters with frequent nightly frost.

Get in
The airport in Trelew is served by Aerolinas Argentina 2-3 times a day as a stop-over from flights going to / leaving from Buenos Aires to El Calafate and Ushuaia. Additionally, buses regularly arrive and depart the bus depot. It is roughly a 23-hr bus ride from Buenos Aires.

Get around
The city is served by an extensive local bus service which besides providing transportation around the city also provides service to nearby Rawson.

See

 * The Museo Municipal de Artes Visuales – A fantastic little art gallery featuring local artists in the town square that is worth a short visit.
 * The Museo Regional Pueblo de Luis – An interesting, if random, collection of things detailing the city's Welsh history. It is located in the old train station: Sarmiento y 28 de Julio.
 * The Museo Regional Pueblo de Luis – An interesting, if random, collection of things detailing the city's Welsh history. It is located in the old train station: Sarmiento y 28 de Julio.

Do

 * Dolphin and Whale watching – Trelew is a 15-min taxi ride from the port city of Rawson where multiple companies provide dolphin and whale watching excursions that part from the Playa Unión beach. The main attractions in this area are the black-and-white Commerson dolphins (called toninas locally), while chances to see bigger whales are better at the Valdes Peninsula.
 * Laguna Chiquichano – A pleasant little lake just east of the city center with a park surrounding it, ideal for sports and bird watching.
 * Lagunas del Ornitólogo – Another lake system east of the city. They host a rich bird life, including flamingoes and black swans. A convenient access parts from north of the roundabout of Ruta Nacional 3 and Ruta Provincial 7 (on the way to Rawson). There is no public transport nor infrastructure. The most interesting are the first lakes of the chain, while the biggest and last one, the Laguna Negra, is becoming polluted and generally an unpleasant place.
 * Walk the pasajes (alleys and narrow streets) in the city centre. In most of them you will find a rather unspectacular mix of mostly modern and scattered older architecture, but there are plenty of things to discover, like cute old houses and buildings (e.g. in Pasaje Jujuy), bars and street art.

Buy

 * Trelew's main shopping district is located between Avenida Fontana, which has a semi-pedestrian mall, and Plaza Independencia, with plenty of shops also in 25 de Mayo, San Martín and the surrounding streets.

 * In the surroundings in the Chubut Valley, there are several farms selling typical regional agricultural products like confiture, cheese, liquors and wines and ovine meat.

Drink
There are several Welsh-inspired tea houses in the city, offering also typical pastry. Trelew has several bars, discotheques and pubs, some of them located in the narrow alleys of the city center.

Sleep
Despite of being slightly larger, Trelew has significantly less accommodation options than Puerto Madryn. However, there are several good options for the traveller.

Go next

 * Frequent buses run to the Welsh towns nearby. Tourists flock to Gaiman (15 km west of Trelew) for Welsh high tea and trinkets and to visit the Welsh chapels in the area. The Parque El Desafío is a wonderful and fanciful place on the outskirts of Gaiman that can be best described as an open-air art gallery made with recycled things. There is a small entrance fee. Some pictures and information can be found at . A smaller and less touristy Welsh town is Dolavon, about 30 km west of Trelew.
 * Punta Tombo is a nature reserve about 100 km south of Trelew on the Atlantic coast. Located on a peninsula, it hosts Argentina's largest penguin colony. There are no public buses to the reserve, but excursions tend to be cheaper from Trelew than from Puerto Madryn.
 * Camarones is a small town at 170 km south of Trelew (there are no larger intermediate towns) with a penguin and a sea-lion colony, beaches and nice rocky coastal landscapes.
 * Rawson, Chubut's provincial capital, is a quiet, spacious town with only about 25,000 inhabitants and located 15 km east of the city. Its main attractions are its port at the mouth of the Chubut river and the nearby beaches of Playa Unión and Playa Magagna.
 * Puerto Madryn is about 60 km northeast of Trelew and the gateway to the nature reserves on the Valdes Peninsula, with sea-lions, birds and whales to observe.
 * The Río Chubut Valley crosses the whole north of Chubut Province and has a very diverse landscape. You will start in the agricultural lower part, passing the Florentino Ameghino dam surrounded by colourful rocks, the dry central area with strange canyons and rock formations like Los Altares, and the greener Andean landscape of the upper part around Esquel and Trevelin. There are a few very small towns like Las Plumas and Paso de Indios with basic accommodation.

Trento

Trento (Archaic English: Trent, German: Trient) is a city nestled in the Alpine valley between tall mountain ranges and the capital of the autonomous province of Trentino in the Alps in the northeast of Italy. With over 120,000 inhabitants (2020), Trento is the third-largest city in the Alps and boasts an illustrious history reaching to before Ancient Roman times, and the architectural heritage to prove it.

Understand

History made it a proud town, with a number of large manors outside of the town, where bishops used to come for holidays. Nowadays it is one of the most expensive towns in Italy, due to farming, wine, and high-tech industries. At Easter the fields around Trento are in bloom with apple blossoms.

The town centre is more or less a pedestrian area, and walking around the historic centre you can see a number of outdoor frescos on historic buildings. In the past the river Adige flowed right outside the centre where now Torre Verde is.

The city is probably best known for the Council of Trent, which gathered in Trento in the sixteenth century for many periods of several years in buildings which dominate the town centre. The purpose of the council was to respond to the doctrinal challenge that the Protestant Reformation represented to the Catholic Church, with the results being known as the Counter-Reformation.

Trentino-Alto Adige

Trentino-Alto Adige is a region in Northeast Italy.

Regions
The region is divided in two provinces:

Cities

 * — awesome blend of Italy and Tyrol.
 * — once the center of a prince-bishopric.
 * — known for its spa resorts.
 * — a significant museum of modern art.
 * — the seat of the once powerful bishops of Trent.

Other destinations

 * Seiser Alm — A very diverse holiday area known for the largest high mountain pasture in Europe and the countless hiking and biking-possibilities and Summer and alpine and cross country-ski-area in Winter. The main language is a German dialect but people also speak Italian and English. The best way to discover nature and countryside across the area is by getting out and about: Whether it’s on foot or by bike in the summer, by ski or snowboard on the slopes in winter: Spending the holidays here means having a perfect blend of outdoor adventure with beautiful countryside and the pleasures of the palate; the South Tyrolean cuisine brings Alpine and Mediterranean culinary traditions together, which means that a holiday in the Dolomites provides something that’s sure to suit every taste.

Selva (1563 m) is the most popular of these villages and is situated at the base of the Sassolungo- a climbing and hiking haven in summer. In winter, there are extensivive ski lifts and runs and these are linked into the famous Sella Ronda ski circuit.
 * Val Gardena — A popular region for hiking in summer and skiing in winter. The local language is Ladin, spoken by approximately 90 % of the population with the remainder speaking Italian or German. There are three main travel destinations: Ortisei, Santa Christina and Selva Gardena (Wolkenstein).

Understand
During the Middle Ages, this region was divided between the Prince-Bishop of Trento and the Prince-Bishop of Brixen. Both principalities were under the sphere of influence of the Counts of Tyrol (and later, the Austrian Empire). To the south, they bordered with the Venetian Republic, which had influence on the southernmost valleys.

After the collapse of the Venetian Republic, and the Napoleonic Wars, most of northern Italy fell under Austrian Empire rule. This region became part of Tirol. Italian independence wars in the last half of the 19th century claimed back from Austria the former Venetian Republic. Among the Italian-speaking people dwelling in the southernmost valleys of Tirol grew a movement to throw off Austrian rule, and join the new Italian state. The need to "liberate" these Italian lands was used by Italy to enter World War I against Austria.

After the war was lost by Austria, the portion of Tirol south of the Brenner Pass was annexed by Italy and renamed Trentino - Alto Adige, Trentino being the part with Italian-speaking population. The German-speaking population of Alto-Adige were not given a recognized minority status. Indeed, as Italy fell under nationalistic fascist rule, the government started an effort to "italianize" Alto-Adige. Use of German in schools and in official documents was forbidden, the official names of places was changed to be Italian-sounding, and Italians were moved from other parts of Italy to "colonize" the region.

As a result of the pact between Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, the Germans in the regions were given the option to relocate to Germany. Only a few accepted, and most of them returned to their homeland after the war. During the end of the war, the region was briefly annexed to the Third Reich.

After World War II, the region remained part of Italy, as two provinces ("Trentino" and "Alto Adige/Südtirol") were granted large administrative and legislative autonomy.

In Alto Adige/Südtirol, German is official language as well as Italian. All official acts, place names and signs are in both languages. There are both Italian- and German-language schools. A third language, Ladin, spoken in the eastern valleys, is also a recognized linguistic minority, and is taught in schools where it is native. Jobs in the public sector are awarded proportionally to people with the three mother tongues, and applicants must prove fluency in both Italian and German.

Despite some fringe groups that persist in asking for reunification with Austria, the current system has proved very popular, and is often proposed as an example of peaceful coexistence of populations of different ethnicity.

Trenton (Ontario)

Trenton is the primary city in the southeastern Ontario municipality of Quinte West. Adjacent to (and just west of) Belleville, it is home of Canada's largest air force base.

History
The Trent River was known to the Mississauga First Nation as Sangichiwigewonk, or 'fast flowing.' It was named by European settlers after the River Trent in England.

French explorer Samuel de Champlain followed the Trent passing through Trenton in 1615. The area around the mouth of the Trent River was first settled by Europeans in the 1780s. Assorted settlements and town plots in the area went under a number of names, until the Village of Trenton was incorporated in 1853. Trenton grew thanks to its port location and the area's lumber industry. During the First World War, the town was home to a major munitions plant owned by the British Chemical Company. This facility was built in 1915 to manufacture artillery, rifle, and small arms ammunition. Three weeks before the Armistice, an explosion levelled the plant. Remains of the old plant can still be found today.

Trenton was also an important film production centre. In 1917, a film studio was built in the town and a number of productions were filmed there. The advent of talkies and 16mm film made the equipment at the film plant obsolete and the facility closed in 1934.

The construction of a RCAF Station Trenton, a major Royal Canadian Air Force base just east of Trenton, started in 1929 and continued through the 1930s. This provided a major economic boost to the area through the Great Depression, the Second World War and later. Today it is Canada's largest air force base; the final flight path for fallen Canadian soldiers led from Afghanistan to Trenton by air, then followed the "Highway of Heroes" from Trenton to Toronto.

In 1998, Trenton was amalgamated with the Village of Frankford and the Townships of Murray and Sidney to form the City of Quinte West. Trenton is the largest community within the municipality.
