The mountains of Nepal are blessed with uniqueness and rare at the same time. However, you will need to reach the toughest places to achieve the trekking bliss.
From Yarsagumba to shilajit and other medicinal herbs, the mountains of Nepal are blessed to have that in abundance. Any trekkers with an interest in medicinal herbs have the opportunity to learn about the art through the local tourists and guides.
But the new trekkers are tourists who aren’t allowed to extract or go into medicinal herbs hunting. As the mountains aren’t stable at times the risk of life can’t come through for any guide or the trekking company.
