It's nice that you are heading to nepal for trekking purpose and it's known as a paradise for trekker. Well,there are few common trekking routes such as Everest Region(Medium/hard), Langtang Region(Easy),Annapurna Region(Medium/Easy) etc. where you should not need to bring your tent all the time because you are able to find the guest houses each way and of course restaurants are still available at the guest houses. So, according your curious about how to get some ideas, I here by would like to describe gradually please find the details below:

Annapurna Region:

Annapurna trekking is the most popular trekking trail in Nepal . Since Annapurna trekking trail has been explored [snip] has depth experience to operate the trekking in Annapurna Himalaya range. Annapurna trekking offer an spectacular Himalayan views including the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Fishtail (the beautiful mountain in Nepal) and landscape, wild animals, Monasteries as well as mixed cultural trekking tour. Annapurna region has different trekking destination such as Around Annapurna trekking, Annapurna circuit trekking, Annapurna base camp trekking, Jomsom Muktinath trekking, Kali Gandaki valley trekking, Ghorepani trekking, Ghandrung trekking, Annapurna sanctuary trekking, Mardi Himal trekking, Narphu valley trekking, Tilicho pass trekking, Thorung la pass trekking, Royal trekking, panchase trekking , Siklish trekking , Mustang trekking, Jomsom trekking, Dhaulagiri trekking, Dhaulagiri base camp trekking etc . In above trekking destination in Annapurna region Around Annapurna trekking, Jomsom Muktinath trekking and Annapurna base camp trekking is most popular trekking trail for Himalayan views, wild animals, landscape and Gurung, Thakali, Magars culture.

Annapurna trekking is not only popular for the trekking except that natural hot spring, world deepest Gorge known as kali Gandaki gorge, world highest lake (Tilicho Lake), landscape and nice water fall Ruptse waterfall. Since it has been open, Annapurna trekking trail is most popular trekking for Nepal travelers. For the Annapurna trekking there are many options to reach your Annapurna trekking destination whether by tourist bus or by flight to pokhara or Jomsom and by bus to Beshishar will be the staring point to Annapurna trekking tour. It is possible to extend your trip from Pokhara to Royal Chitwan National Park either by vehicle or Trisuli River Rafting for Nepal jungle safari and game viewing or return to Katmandu .

Langtang Region:

Langtang is a narrow valley that lies just south of the Tibetan border. It is sandwiched between the main Himalayan range to the north and a slightly lower range of snowy peaks to the south. Langtang Lirung (7246 metres) dominates the valley to the north; Gang Chhenpo (6388 metres) and Naya Kangri (5846 metres) lie to the south; and Dorje Lakpa (6966 metres) protects the east end of the valley. The area was designated Nepal's first Himalayan national park in 1971.This high and isolated region is inhabited by Tamangs whose religious practices, language and dress are much more similar to those of Tibet than to the traditions of their cousins in the Middle Hills. A visit to the Langtang Valley offers an opportunity to explore villages, to climb small peaks and to visit glaciers at a comfortably low elevation. According to legend, a lama following a runaway yak discovered the valley. Hence the name - lang is Tibetan for "yak" and teng (more correctly dhang) means "to follow". Yaks still live in the valley, but they now share it with trekkers who make a seven to 11-day round trip from Kathmandu. Because there are good opportunities for moderate climbing excursions here, you should allow a few extra days for exploration of the extensive glacier system.You can vary the trek to Langtang by returning to Kathmandu via the holy lakes of Gosainkund at 4300 metres, or you can make a short trek from Dhunche to Gosainkund. Thousands of Hindu pilgrims visit the lakes during a full moon festival in August. The lake is also sacred to Buddhists.

Everest Region:

The Khumbu or Everest region is the most popular trekking area in Nepal. It would probably be the most popular destination, but it is more difficult to get to Solu Khumbu than to the Annapurna area. To get near Everest, you must either walk for 10 days or fly to Lukla, a remote mountain airstrip where flights are notoriously unreliable.

Solu Khumbu is justifiably famous, not only for its proximity to the world's highest mountain (8848 metres), but also for its Sherpa villages and monasteries. The primary goal of an Everest trek is the Everest base camp at an elevation of about 5340 metres. But you cannot see Everest from the base camp, so most trekkers climb Kala Pattar, an unassuming 5545-metre bump on the southern flank of Pumori (7145 metres).

Other than the problem of access, the other major complication to an Everest trek is the high likelihood of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). This potentially deadly disease, commonly known as altitude sickness, is caused by climbing too quickly to a high elevation. Be sure to read the section on mountain sickness in the Health & First Aid chapter if you are planning an Everest trek. If you suffer symptoms of altitude sickness and cannot go to base camp, you can still make a worthwhile trek to less ambitious destinations such as Namche Bazaar, the administrative headquarters of the Khumbu region; Khumjung or Thami, more typical Sherpa villages; or Tengpoche Monastery. From Tengpoche you will have an excellent view of Everest and its more spectacular neighbour Ama Dablam (6856 metres).

Climbers are a significant source of tourist revenue for Nepal; they range from experienced mountaineers to relative novices who count on their paid guides to get them to the top. The Nepalese government also requires a permit from all prospective climbers; this carries a heavy fee, often more than $25,000 (USD) per person.

So, please do ask here or send PM to know further ahead or go to check once with -snip-.cheers
