From the high Himalayas to the lush green foothills, from arid plateaus to shimmering glaciers, Nepal offers an incomparable array of hiking trails. If there's a better – and easier – place to trek anywhere in the world, we've yet to find it.
Many of Nepal's most celebrated treks pass through national parks or protected areas, but permits and national park fees are mostly inexpensive . Teahouses and trekking lodges are commonplace along most of the popular trails, but some routes involve camping, and many treks that pass close to internal borders can only be attempted as an organized trek arranged through an approved agency.
Whether you fancy a short, relaxed hike on a fleeting visit to the mountains or a challenging multi-week expedition over high passes, Nepal has treks for all levels of fitness and experience. Here are the best hikes in Nepal.
1. Everest Base Camp
Best for Everest views 130km (80.7 miles); 14–20 days; hard
The most famous trek in Nepal – if not the world – is the two-week trip to Everest Base Camp , which draws thousands of trekkers every year. Starting and finishing at the precariously balanced airstrip in Lukla, this high-altitude epic provides some fascinating insights into the Sherpa culture of the Solukhumbu region, and the chance to gaze on the tallest mountain on Earth – known as Sagarmatha in Nepal, and Chomolungma in neighboring Tibet.
High-quality lodges line the entire route, but the trails can get very busy, particularly during the October–November high season , though few who complete the two- to three-week route are disappointed by the experience. If you want a calmer trek, consider some of the less crowded routes that snake through the foothills around Everest, including the stunning trek to Gokyo and the Three Passes Trek.
2. Annapurna Circuit
Best for diverse scenery 160–230km (99.4–142.9 miles); 10–17 days; hard
The most popular trek in Nepal, the Annapurna Circuit is stunningly varied. As you walk, you'll encounter plunging valleys, deep gorges, rivers, lakes, glaciers and snow-topped peaks, as well as Gurung, Manangi and Thakali villages. Accessed from Pokhara , the route is dotted with comfortable lodges and important Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage sites. Its high point – literally and figuratively – is the 5416m (17,768ft) Thorong La, a mountain pass that transports you from the green foothills to the arid Trans-Himalayan plateau.
Best walked counter-clockwise, this trail has numerous options for extensions and side trips, such as the highly rewarding week-long trek to the villages of Nar and Phu. Note that the Annapurna Circuit gets very busy in the peak season. Because of road building, some sections are more developed than you might expect, and the route gets shorter every year as the road reaches new villages.
3. Manaslu Circuit
Best alternative to the Annapurna Circuit Around 180km (111.8 miles); 16 days; hard
Travelers seeking a quieter trail than the renowned Annapurna Circuit but a similar range of dramatic scenery should try the Manaslu Circuit, which lies to the east of the Annapurna massif. An excellent all-rounder, this teahouse trek is centered around the eponymous Manaslu, the world’s eighth-tallest peak at 8163m (26,781ft ).
The Manaslu Circuit trek covers everything from steamy jungles to breathless mountain passes, natural hot springs and tranquil villages. En route, you'll cross gorges on precipitous suspension bridges and hike through emerald-green foothills lined with rice paddies.
4. Annapurna Sanctuary
Best for mountain scenery Around 115km (71.4 miles); 10–14 days; moderate to hard
Few sights in the Himalayas compare with the magnificent Annapurna Sanctuary, an elevated, amphitheater-like plateau north of Pokhara, encircled by a crown of looming glaciers and sky-piercing mountains. This lofty basin is the centerpiece of an enjoyable teahouse trek, which showcases some of the finest mountain vistas in Nepal. Along the trail, you'll pass Gurung villages, terraced rice fields, natural hot springs and densely forested hills. Just bear in mind that the Annapurna Sanctuary is a popular route, so don’t expect to have the trails to yourself.
5. Ghandruk Loop
Nepal's best short trek 25km (15.5 miles); 3 days; easy
If you’re a novice hiker or simply pressed for time, head to Pokhara, the starting point for several short but rewarding treks in the foothills of the Annapurnas. One of the standout routes is the Ghandruk Loop, which takes you through rice paddies, forests of rhododendron trees – which bloom spectacularly in the spring – and Gurung villages, where accommodation ranges from simple teahouses to well-equipped lodges.
The first day mirrors the opening section of the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek, and there are superb mountain views all along this relatively steep route, which can be comfortably hiked in the winter, as well as in fall and spring, thanks to its low altitude.
6. Langtang Valley
Best one-week trek Around 65–80km (40.3–49.7miles); 7–8 days; moderate
The popular trekking route through the gorgeous Langtang Valley , which resembles a super-charged version of the Alps and lies close to the Tibetan border, packs in a lot of trekking wonders over the course of a week. It's also conveniently close to Kathmandu and accessible by public bus, reducing your carbon footprint.
From the trailhead at Syabrubesi, this teahouse trek takes you from pastureland, bamboo groves and waterfalls to soaring mountains and creaking glaciers. If you have a few extra days to spare, it's well worth extending the trek to the sacred lakes at Gosainkunda, ringed by ice-capped mountains at an altitude of 4400m (14,436ft).
7. Tamang Heritage Trail
Best cultural trek Around 55km (34.1 miles); 6 days; moderate
Nepal’s trekking routes are renowned for immersing travelers in jaw-dropping Himalayan scenery, but the Tamang Heritage Trail is focused on rich cultural insights – though the views are pretty spectacular too. The trek starts at Syabrubesi and loops through the hills to the north, linking a series of traditional Tamang villages.
Many of these villages have homestay accommodation, offering a chance to learn more about Tamang Buddhist culture, which has its origins across the border in Tibet, and the lives of the people who thrive in this far-flung region. There are also beautiful Buddhist temples, monuments and sacred sites to visit along the way.
8. Kanchenjunga Base Camp
Best for escaping the crowds Around 220km (136.7 miles); 14–28 days; hard
If you are looking to escape the crowds that throng the Everest Base Camp and Annapurna trails during the high season, the little-visited foothills of 8586m (28,169ft) Kanchenjunga in the far east of Nepal fit the bill perfectly. This wild, remote corner of the country sees just a handful of trekkers every season, and it can only be visited on an organized trek.
Two tough but spectacular trails lead to the northern and southern base camps used by mountaineers climbing the world’s third-tallest peak. Along the way, you’ll camp or stay in rustic teahouses in isolated villages and climb through empty valleys, pastures and mountain forests. There are plenty of high passes to cross before you bask in front of majestic views of Kanchenjunga, and you'll rarely have to share the experience with a crowd.
9. Nagarkot to Dhulikhel
Best day hike in Nepal 20km (12.4 miles); 1 day; easy
The fringes of the Kathmandu Valley are ribboned with easily accessible trails that are ideal for half- or full-day hikes – and most are accessible by local bus or taxi from Kathmandu. One of the best trails links the ridge-top village of Nagarkot with the pretty Newari town of Dhulikhel , both famous for their glorious views of the Himalayas, especially at sunrise.
Part of the longer Kathmandu Valley Cultural Trekking Trail, this route can be augmented with worthwhile side trips to Panauti , one of Nepal’s oldest towns, and the Buddhist center of Namobuddha . No permits or national park fees are required.
10. Great Himalayan Trail
Best epic adventure 2500km (1553 miles); 50–160 days; hard
For travelers with lots of time, a big budget, boundless energy and a giant sense of adventure, the Great Himalayan Trail is the ultimate challenge. Running the length of the Nepali Himalayas, this once-in-a-lifetime route was designed to encourage trekkers to get off the beaten path and spread the financial benefits of tourism to a wider range of communities.
Crossing the country from Kanchenjunga all the way to the far west of Nepal, this trek is as much a logistical puzzle as a physical feat, not least because you have to arrange a number of time-limited trekking permits in advance. Rather than doing the trail in one go, a more attainable goal is to break it up into segments and complete it over several years.

Unrivalled experience in Nepal
We've been organising treks, climbs and tours in Nepal for over four decades. Our firsthand knowledge of the region is unmatched, and we continue to push the envelope each year by innovating new programs while also finessing our classics.

Value for money, peace of mind, looking after your health as well as the local landscapes are just some of the reasons why we believe it’s a wise decision to choose a Nepal trek with all meals included. Watch our ‘7 Reasons Why We Include Meals On Our Nepal Treks’ video on every Nepal trip page to learn even more.
Experienced guides
From Tim Macartney-Snape, who with Greg Mortimer completed the first Australian summit of Mount Everest, to Bir Singh, one of Nepal's most experienced local guides, our leaders are the key to our success as they strive to make your experience exceptional.
Widest range of adventures
From a trek around the Annapurna Circuit and crossing the high passes of the Everest region to a challenging mountaineering expedition, we offer the widest range of Nepal adventures on the market with a trip to suit every level and interest.
Pioneering the GHT and other world firsts
World Expeditions operated the first commercially guided and fully supported expedition along the entire length of the Nepal section of the Great Himalaya Trail, a representation of exploratory trekking at its finest. Our ability to pioneer this challenging trek underscores our superb logistics and crew in Nepal and embodies the essence of World Expeditions' travel philosophy.
Leaders in responsible travel
Responsible travel is at the heart of every program that we offer in Nepal. World Expeditions is a founding member of the International Porter Protection Group and has pioneered many sustainable tourism initiatives that benefit our staff, the local community and the environment such as our 10 Pieces Litter Collection initiative, our Community Project Travel program and our exclusive eco-campsites in the Everest, Gokyo and Annapurna regions.
Litter collection
The 10 Pieces litter collection initiative, where travellers collect 10 pieces of plastic or paper litter on the trail each day, is offered on all of our Nepal treks. This simple yet effective initative harnesses the collective power of tourists to keep wilderness trails clean and to educate local communities about the negative impact of litter on their environment and tourism economy.
Porter welfare policies
All porters that we employ receive a good working wage that is regulated by the Trekking Agents Association of Nepal and the Labor Union of Nepal, paying as per their guidelines, which are unionized. We are one of the only trekking companies in Nepal to provide porters with three meals a day, prepared by our cooks, as well as lodging or tents, sleeping mats and blankets. Porters receive income protection and life insurance and have access to the same first aid care that travellers receive including emergency helicopter evacuation if required. Porters are provided with a wind and waterproof jacket and over-trousers, woolen socks and gloves, leather or canvas shoes, sunglasses and a warm cap, and carry a maximum of 30kgs.
Eco-campsites
Our series of eco-campsites in the Everest and Annapurna regions contribute to the local economy by providing employment and yearly rent and by bringing trekkers into nearby villages to purchase handicrafts. The campsites minimise our environmental footprint by using yak or cow dung to fuel heaters, kerosene to cook meals and boil water, rainwater tanks, composting and septic toilets and incinerators to burn paper and non-toxic plastic waste.
Private eco-campsites
Comfort and adventure are combined in our private eco-campsites. The campsites are exclusive to World Expeditions, featuring raised beds and high ceiling tents as well as dining and toilet structures. The campsites were designed with the environment in mind, minimising the impact of our presence and providing employment opportunities to local communities.
Wilderness camping
Enjoy fully supported camping in remote locations with our outstanding crew of sherpas, porters and kitchen staff. While the campsite locations have been handpicked for their location, our commitment to responsible travel ensures our footprint is kept to a minimum.
Select locations involve lodges on a twin share basis that provide a comfortable and hygienic environment to relax at the end of the day.
In cities and large towns you will be accommodated in good quality properties that are centrally located, atmospheric and reliable.
Tim Macartney-Snape
Tim is Australia's best known mountaineer and an inspiring leader whose passion is taking small groups into the most isolated and wildest places. He has climbed Everest [twice], Ama Dablam and Gasherbrum 4, among many others.

Our trekking season in Nepal extends from mid-September to May. However within this period there are clear seasons in the weather.
Trekking in Nepal during winter, from December to February, offers cool to mild and clear days with often very cold nights. Occasionally winter storms can bring snow as low as 2500m.
In March the cold, dry winter season begins to give way to warmer, spring conditions. Mornings are usually clear with cloud build-up occasionally bringing afternoon rain.
Late spring conditions, in May, are generally hot at low elevations and as the clouds build up to the next monsoon, which generally begins in June, daily afternoon rainstorms are common. This is a period that generally has clear weather at the higher altitudes and is traditionally a time when mountaineering expeditions commence their ascents.
The monsoon creates a rainy season in Nepal, which lasts from mid-June to mid-September. During this time the Nepal Himalaya is unsuitable for trekking, with the exception of a few remote valleys.
During the monsoon in Nepal it is possible to trek in Tibet, the Indian Himalayan regions of Kulu, Garhwal & Ladakh, Central Asia and Pakistan, places that are at their best during this time.
The post-monsoon period - From early September the monsoon rain starts to decrease. By mid-October through to mid-December the weather is usually stable with mild to warm days, cold nights and clear views. Daytime temperatures can reach 25 - 30 degrees Celsius at lower altitudes and decrease as you gain height. Over 3000 meters the daytime temperatures can vary as much as 10 to 20 degrees Celsius, and may be hotter or colder, depending on whether it is sunny or windy etc. At night at lower altitudes, temperatures do not normally drop much, although as you approach November it does get colder and the days shorter. Up high it can drop sharply at night, from 0 to minus 10 or 15 and more when camped on the ice or snow.
The pre-monsoon period - In March the cold, dry winter season begins to give way to warmer, wetter spring conditions. Mornings are usually clear with cloud build-up bringing occasional afternoon rainstorms. Views of the mountains in the middle of the day and afternoon may often be obscured. Daytime temperatures increase quickly in March with temperatures of up to 30 degrees Celsius and mild nights. At higher altitudes it is similar to the conditions of the post-monsoon period, however there is usually more snow, which has accumulated over the winter period. There are spectacular displays of rhododendrons and wildflowers at this time of year. Late spring conditions ie April and May, are generally hot at low elevations and as the clouds build up to the next monsoon, daily afternoon rainstorms are common.
Time in Nepal
Nepal is +5:45 ahead of UTC/ GMT
Nepal is a country of high linguistic diversity. 123 different primary languages were reported in Nepal’s 2011 national census—including Nepali (official) 44.6%, Maithali 11.7%, Bhojpuri 6%, Tharu 5.8%, Tamang 5.1%, Newar 3.2%, Magar 3%, Bajjika 3%, Urdu 2.6%, Avadhi 1.9%, Limbu 1.3%, Gurung 1.2%, other 10.4%, unspecified 0.2%
Nepali is Nepal’s official language and also its lingua franca, understood by most in Nepal, and spoken by many living in Bhutan, India and further abroad
Newar (aka Nepal Bhasa; not to be confused with Nepali) is the native language of the Newar people and was Nepal’s official administrative language from the 14th to late 18th centuries, but is now considered by UNESCO to be an endangered language.
English is spoken by many in government, business and tourism sectors, and is part of the core curriculum of Nepal’s education system
In Nepali the local currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). The Nepalese Rupee is different to the Indian Rupee, and the Government of Nepal has banned the import, export and use of 500 and 1000 Indian Rupees notes in Nepal.
It is difficult to convert your NPR back to foreign currency, and you will not be able to exchange NPR once back in your own country. There are many money change shops in Thamel and around Kathmandu where you will also be able to change money, however, note that many places will not allow you to change currency back.
There are also ATM’s available for use in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Nepalese traders do not like TORN notes. Most people will not accept them so ensure you check your notes when exchanging and refuse to accept any torn notes

Electricity in Nepal is 230 Volts, at 50 hertz. The most common pin type is C (two round prong).
Electricity is becoming more widely available throughout Nepal though generally speaking the further you venture from the trailhead the less reliable it becomes. More populous areas are serviced by the grid or small scale hydro-electric projects. In more remote areas solar energy is harnessed for electricity production and as such can be unreliable and in short supply.
Many of our camps and eco-lodges provide charging facilities for small electronic devices such as phones, cameras and battery packs. In some cases this is provided free of charge however in most cases there is a fee associated with the use of such amenities. This can range from NPR100 – NPR500 (US$1 - $5) per device charged, depending on how far you are from the power grid.
We recommend you consider purchasing portable power banks or solar chargers for phone charging and at least one spare camera battery.
All nationalities require a visa for Nepal. For nationals of most countries, multiple entry Nepal tourist visas can be obtained on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu), however, to speed up arrival processes, it is easier to obtain your visa prior to departure. The details for the various options available to you are outlined below:
Visa issued by a Nepalese Diplomatic Mission prior to your departure from home -
Queues are common during peak tourist arrival times, especially at the visa application counters. In order to skip the bulk of the queues you are able in many cases to apply for your visa at your nearest Nepalese diplomatic mission. The location and contact details of your nearest mission can be found at https://nepalembassy.gov.np. Visa fees are often comparable to that paid on arrival though you will need to consider the courier costs associated in sending your passport to and from the appropriate mission. Please note that THE VISA IS ONLY VALID FOR 6 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF ISSUE, ie. you must enter and depart Nepal within six months of the date of issue of the visa. There is an online form for completion which is then printed and presented with your passport and payment to the relevant mission for visa issuance. The online form can be sourced at https://nepaliport.immigration.gov.np/onlinevisa-mission/application and there is a handy user manual which can be downloaded from the site to guide you through the process.
Visa Application submitted Pre-arrival, with visa issued on arrival -
There is an official online application portal (https://nepaliport.immigration.gov.np/) that allows you to submit and print your application prior to arrival (note this can only be completed a maximum 15 days prior) which removes the need to carry passport photographs as the electronic versions of your image are supplied as part of the process. Once you’ve applied, the form can be printed for use on arrival and payment made as outlined below.
Visa Application submitted on arrival -
If you opt to obtain your visa on arrival and have not prefilled the online form as noted above, join the queues to a row of computers and fill out the online form. Unfortunately, at time of writing, there are no printers attached to the computers so make sure to take screenshot of your final application, then join the queue to pay for your visa (officials will need to sight the screenshot of your application). You will need to pay the application fee for which cash is recommended and will be issued with a receipt. The preferred payment is USD however AUD, CAD and GBP will also be accepted at the exchange rate of the day.
Visa costs are:
US$30 – 15 days
US$50 – 30 days
US$125 – 90 days
Proceed to the immigration desk with your screenshot of the online application, receipt, two passport sized photographs if you are applying on arrival (note when using the pre-arrival service, e-versions are used however carrying a few passport photos is always advisable) and passport for processing and visa issuance.
Your safety is our number one concern. Our safety track record is exemplary thanks to careful management and thorough consultation with local partners. Our industry leading risk management procedures have become a skill that we continue to refine. Our leaders in the field are highly trained and have safety as their number one priority. Expert leaders, risk assessments, quality inclusions and your financial security all come standard when you travel with us.
Please refer to our Travel Advisory page for updates on recent events, travel warnings and advice.
We strongly recommend that all clients take out travel insurance at the time of booking to cover against sickness, accident, loss of baggage, unexpected alterations to travel arrangements and travel disruption, emergency evacuation, cancellations, etc. Insurance information is enclosed with your pre-departure information. Please contact us if you would like to obtain a quote for your trip duration.
We suggest that you consult your doctor, local government inoculation centre or a travel medical specialist in order to get the most current advice regarding vaccination requirements.
Money and valuables should always be stored safely when travelling. Keep your passport with you at all times and do not leave it in your main luggage. You will need it to change money and check into hotels. Where safety deposit boxes are available, we recommend that you use them. Keep jewellery and valuables to a minimum.

Trekking In Nepal – A Comprehensive Guide
Some of the links on this page are affiliate links
Nepal is one of the most stunningly beautiful countries on the planet. It’s a place where towering white peaks touch the sky, monks peacefully meditate in ancient mountainside monasteries, and lumbering yaks haul goods to quaint villages largely disconnected from the outside world. To put it simply, Nepal is a backpacker’s dream come true.
For all it’s grandeur and immensity, planning a trek in Nepal isn’t as difficult as you might think. Trekking tourism has been popular in Nepal for decades and Nepalis are excellent hosts. Kathmandu has hundreds of quality guiding companies and “teahouse” lodges bring an entirely new level of comfort to the backcountry. Even for those with little backpacking experience, trekking in Nepal is likely to be accessible, affordable, and absolutely unforgettable.
So if you enjoy stunning views, radiant culture, and epic adventure, chances are you’ll fall in love with Nepal. We hope you find this guide useful for planning your next trip.
Check out our Nepal Trekking Gear Checklist to help you with planning your adventure.
BEST TIME TO TREK
Technically you can hike in Nepal year round, but most trekkers choose between the two peak hiking seasons of fall and spring. If it’s your first time trekking in Nepal, we recommend visiting during one of these peak seasons. The trails will be more crowded, but the benefits tend to be worth it in our opinion.
Fall (October – November) : This is the most popular trekking season in Nepal. During this time you’ll have the best chance for clear mountain views, sunny skies, mild temperatures, and little precipitation. The downside is that you’ll be sharing the trail with throngs of other tourists and teahouses will be bumping, especially along the most popular routes.
Spring (March – April) : Spring is the second most popular time of year to trek in Nepal. As the snowpack melts on high mountain passes, giant rhododendron trees bloom across the hillsides of Nepal. Temperatures are generally mild this time of year and it’s a good time for viewing wildlife too. The two main downsides to spring hiking are busy trails and the possibility of hazy skies, which can obscure mountain views. That said, hazy skies tend to be less of an issue as you climb in elevation.
Off Peak Season : Trekking outside the peak seasons in Nepal can be rewarding as well. Solitude is easier to find, prices are cheaper, and befriending locals is easier too. That said, there are significant downsides to trekking outside the peak seasons in Nepal, so don’t be too cavalier when choosing your travel dates.
Experienced winter travelers ( December – February ) can find sunny days and brilliant mountain views this time of year. That said, temperatures can be bitter cold, daylight hours are shorter, and harsh winter storms can disrupt travel plans with little warning. Also, many popular trails will not be accessible this time of year due to heavy snowfall at high elevations.
Trekking during monsoon months ( May – September ) is not usually advised. Monsoon rains bring landslides and leaches to Nepal. The former makes mountain travel very difficult (if not dangerous) and the latter is just gross and obnoxious. The weather can also be hot and humid this time of year and the mountains are often obscured by clouds.
TEAHOUSE TREKKING
One of the reasons Nepal is such an amazing place to hike is the teahouse trekking culture. “Teahouses” are essentially small mountain lodges frequently spaced along popular trails. On most trails in the Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, and Langtang regions you’ll pass a teahouse every hour or two. They’re a great place to meet other travelers, eat a home-cooked meal, warm your toes by the fire, and bed down for the night.
On a teahouse trek you’ll sleep in one of these lodges every night and you’ll eat almost all of your meals in teahouses too. Accommodations are usually simple, comfortable, and very affordable. It’s expected that you’ll eat your meals wherever you stay, which is one of the reasons rooms are so cheap. Teahouses also sell snacks, candy, hot showers, beer, and sometimes even halfway decent wifi.
Most teahouses cost around $3-5 per night and can be booked upon arrival. The usual setup is a small room with two twin beds and a shared bathroom down the hall. Some teahouses have rooms with attached bathrooms, but you’ll likely pay a premium for the upgrade. Blankets may be provided, but we recommend hiking with a sleeping bag for warmth, comfort, and cleanliness (learn more: Nepal Equipment Guide ).
For those looking to hike in Nepal’s more remote areas, camping treks can be arranged through most trekking agencies in Kathmandu. This option will add cost and complexity, but could lead to a unique and rewarding trek. That said, camping treks aren’t nearly as popular as teahouse treks and camping won’t be necessary on any teahouse trekking route.
POPULAR TEAHOUSE TREKS
It would be impossible to list all the fantastic and unique trails in Nepal. So instead, we wanted to highlight a few of our favorites and some popular recommendations. These teahouse trekking routes are all exceptional hikes, and they’re a great place to start.
Everest Base Camp
Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult
Best Time: March-April & October-November
This is the most popular trekking route in Nepal, and with good reason. Walk in the footsteps of the world’s most famous climbers and gain a spectacular view of Everest from the peak of nearby Kala Patthar.
Annapurna Circuit
An extremely popular and stunning trek with lots of variety. This route combines spectacular mountain scenery with Tibetan-influenced culture and culminates at one of the highest trekking passes in the world, the Thorong La.
Annapurna Base Camp
Difficulty: Moderate
A fantastic trek for those with limited time still wanting to experience a stunning Himalayan amphitheater of mountains. This is also a lower elevation hike, which may make it better for those worried about altitude or hiking off-peak season.
Everest Three Passes Loop
Difficulty: Difficult
For those with the time and physical ability, this is one of the most spectacular trekking routes on the planet. Hit the highlights of the Everest Base Camp route and the stunning Gokyo Lakes on this epic and increasingly popular loop.
Langtang Valley
Once among the most popular trekking routes in Nepal, this area was hit hard by the 2015 earthquake, but it’s on the rebound. Trekkers looking to avoid crowds on a hike filled with Tibetan culture, natural diversity, and fantastic Himalayan scenery should definitely take a closer look.
Manaslu Circuit
This trek features spectacular mountain scenery coupled with a rich and authentic Tibetan culture. Though Manaslu is gaining in popularity, it still sees a fraction of the travelers drawn to the Everest and Annapurna treks. Also, if you have the time, a side trip up the Tsum Valley should not be missed.
Gokyo Lakes
This is a great trek for those looking to avoid the crowds of hikers headed to Everest Base Camp but still seeking majestic Everest scenery. The views from atop Gokyo Ri may be the finest in all the Himalayas.
Upper Mustang
Best Time: May-October
This heavily Tibetan-influenced district oozes with culture and panoramic Himalaya views. The uniquely arid mountain landscape of this region makes it a good choice when other areas are soaked in monsoon rains. This is a restricted area though and permits are pricy.
Difficulty: Easy to Moderate
This lower altitude trek is a popular option among hikers looking for a shorter taste of Nepal’s trekking culture. The route isn’t nearly as remote as many treks, but the views from Poon Hill are still stunning.
DIFFICULTY RATING
Trekking difficulty will depend on a multitude of factors including your experience, physical fitness, pack weight, and weather conditions. There are many different types of treks to choose from in Nepal with varying degrees of difficulty. Make sure to choose a trek that fits your fitness level and train adequately before your hike.
Trekking trips in Nepal are not technical (no ropes, ice axes, or crampons), but there will still be big ups and downs. There are sure to be long days and sore legs, but treks in Nepal are paced to give a lot of time for rest and acclimatization, so don’t fret. It certainly won’t be easy, but most active hikers fair very well on Nepal’s trails, especially with some training beforehand.
Porters are another consideration for reducing the difficulty of your trek. A porter can be hired to carry heavy gear, so all you have to tote is a small daypack. This option greatly increases accessibility along Nepal’s trails. We were surprised and impressed by the amount of people in their 50’s, 60’s and even 70’s who we met on the trail.
INDEPENDENT OR GUIDED TREKKING
Update: Effective April 1, 2023, new requirements require solo or foreign independent trekkers to use a local guide or porter while trekking in Nepal’s national parks and protected areas.
This is an important question for many trekkers and the choice will likely come down to experience and personal preference. If you’re a highly experienced backpacker traveling along a popular route (Annapurna Circuit, Everest Base Camp, etc.), it’s likely that you’ll get by just fine without a guide. That said, Nepali guides bring more to the table than just logistics management. A good guide can help you learn about local culture and may even become a close friend.
For many popular trekking routes in the Annapurna and Everest regions you won’t be required to hire a guide. These trails are mostly well marked and have lots of travelers. This leaves the door open for experienced trekkers to hike independently, which is a nice benefit for those with the skills and know-how. If you’re unsure of your preparedness or nervous about high altitude safety, we recommend hiring a guide. Also, for trekking trips to any restricted area, you will be required to hire a guide.
If you plan to hike independently, make sure you have a good map, the proper permits, and a good guidebook before you leave Kathmandu (see map & guidebook section below). Also, expect to put in a good amount of planning time to fully prepare for your hike.
Guided Trekking Pros
All pre-trip details handled (permits, fees, etc.)
All transportation arranged (bus, plane, jeep, etc.)
Little worry about any details while hiking (lodging, route, schedule, etc.)
Guidance & safety while trekking at high altitude
Local information on religion, culture, food, etc.
Independent Trekking Pros
Can be much less expensive
Hike on your own schedule
More direct interaction with locals
More choice on where to stay & eat (though guides usually know the best spots)
No group dynamics to deal with, just you and the trail.
GUIDES AND PORTERS
Guides and porters are very common in Nepal (though not always mandatory) and prices are quite competitive. In general a guide will cost around $25-30 per day and a porter will cost around $10-15 per day. A guide will help with logistics, information, and safety on your trek. A porter will carry heavy gear, so you only have to hike with a small daypack.
If you choose to trek with a guide, make sure they speak fluent English because they’ll be the point person on your hike. They’ll manage transportation, lodging, food, hiking schedule, routes, and safety on the trail. Your guide will also be a good source of information on local culture, customs, festivals, and norms. A good guide can be an extremely useful resource on the trail and they may even become a lifelong friend.
Porters are also useful and very common along trails in Nepal. Porters have the job of carrying heavy gear, so you don’t have to. This is especially beneficial for older trekkers, novice trekkers, or groups with children. Just remember, even if you do decide to trek with a porter, it’s still very important to keep your gear weight to a minimum. Porters have an absolutely backbreaking job, so please don’t make it any harder on them.
Also, make sure to tip your guide and porters well. A good tip is about 15% of the total you paid for their services. Hand the money directly to each person to ensure they get the full payment. Guides and porters have very tough jobs and they often get surprisingly little compensation for their work.
Guide Recommendation
Looking for a guide on your trip to Nepal? I highly recommend reaching out to our friend Ganesh in Kathmandu. Ganesh is truly an exceptional guide and you’ll love trekking with him if he’s not booked up. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, funny, and highly experienced. Here’s his contact info: [email protected] , Ace Vision Treks & Tours or ACE Vision Nepal , and Ganesh on Facebook . Just tell him Dave & Annie sent you.
TREKKING COMPANIES
There are literally hundreds of trekking companies in Kathmandu and many of them are very good. With a little online research (try tripadvisor ) you should be able to find a bunch of highly qualified companies to help you plan a trek. Most companies plan treks advance, but you can also fly into Kathmandu and plan a trek in person surprisingly easily. Planning things in person will require more flexibility, but you’ll likely save a good chunk of change and have the chance to interview guides before your trip.
Trekking Company Recommendation
During our most recent three months in nepal, we worked with Ram at Outdoor Himalayan Treks . Ram was absolutely fantastic and we’d highly recommend contacting him if you have any questions. He gave us tons of useful information and helped us plan transportation, accommodation, and trekking permits on a few of our hikes. Here’s Ram’s contact info: [email protected] or Ram on Facebook . Just tell him Dave & Annie sent you.
GROUP OR SOLO TREKKING
Some trekking companies offer group packages for popular trails. This can be a good way for solo travelers and couples to link up with other hikers and save a little money in the process. There are downsides to traveling in a large group as well, so make sure you know what you’re getting into before you sign up. Many trekkers (us included) prefer hiking in small groups or with a personal guide. That type of travel will give you more flexibility and less compromise as you trek.

GUIDEBOOKS & MAPS
For general trip planning and research, we highly recommend picking up the Trekking in the Nepal Himalaya book. This book covers all the popular trails and some less popular routes too. It has extremely helpful information about trekking, accommodation, food, and general Nepal travel advice. We used this book nearly every day on the trail (we took pictures of pages with our phones to save weight) and found it very useful.
Once you decide on a trek, it should be easy to find specific maps and guidebooks when you reach Kathmandu. Just walk around Thamel (the main tourist hub in Kathmandu) and you’ll find lots of bookstores catering to trekkers with the most updated resources.
Make sure at least one member of your group is carrying a detailed map of your trek. You may not need it much for navigation (most popular routes are well marked), but it will still be useful. Also, a good guidebook with detailed trail descriptions can be helpful as well. It’s nice to know what challenges lie ahead and get excited for upcoming highlights.
TREKKING SAFETY
When hiking in Nepal, you’ll be heading into remote areas far from reliable hospitals. That’s why it’s important to take every precaution before you set out. Below you’ll find some of our safety tips for trekking in Nepal. Also, check out our emergency first aid skills tutorial video to brush up on your wilderness safety knowledge.
Educate yourself on Acute Mountain Sickness (more info below). Take the prescribed acclimatization days on high-altitude treks, stay hydrated, and listen to your body.
Helicopter evacuations are not uncommon in Nepal, and many of them are preventable. Evacuations like these can be incredibly pricy, so we recommend picking up trekking travel insurance before you trip.
Don’t trek alone. If you’re traveling solo consider hiring a guide or making friends to hike with.
Always pay close attention to weather conditions, especially on long pass days. Storms can develop quickly in the mountains and can be fatal if you’re unprepared.
Always hike with a lightweight first aid kit and the 10 backpacking essentials .
Leave a detailed itinerary with an emergency contact and write important phone numbers on a piece of paper that will be easy to find in an emergency.
When encountering yak or donkey caravans, move to the inside (away from any cliff) and let them pass. These animals can sometimes be clumsy and may bump into you.
Crime is not common in Nepal, but it’s not unheard of either. Keep a close eye on your belongings, especially your backpack filled with valuables.
Always carry enough water on the trail and stay hydrated. Also, bring a water purifier (more info below) to make sure your drinking water is clean.
Keep your eyes on the trail to avoid any missteps that could end your trek.
Be very careful around landslide and avalanche areas. Consult a guide or locals if a crossing looks difficult and don’t take unnecessary risks. Turning around is always an option.
HIGH ALTITUDE SAFETY
If you’re trekking in Nepal, there’s a good chance you’ll be hitting some high elevations, so it’s important to know the basics of high altitude hiking. Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) is no joke, and if you make reckless decisions or ignore symptoms, it could even kill you. Most hikers take the time to acclimatize properly and experience limited AMS symptoms if any, so there’s no need to freak out. But you do want to understand AMS and take it seriously. Check out our high altitude safety tutorial video for more info.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance if you plan to trek in Nepal. In fact, we wouldn’t trek in Nepal without it. Most trekking locations in Nepal are very remote, so if something goes wrong, you’re likely to need an emergency evacuation, and that can get insanely expensive.
When choosing travel insurance, make sure to buy a plan that will cover high altitude trekking and helicopter evacuations in Nepal. We did a bunch of research and ended up choosing World Nomads . Their rates were reasonable, their coverage was excellent, and communicating with them was easy. We fortunately didn’t need to use our travel insurance, but the peace of mind alone was well worth it.
POST EARTHQUAKE CONDITIONS
Nepal was hit by a massive earthquake in April of 2015 . Thousands died in the disaster and widespread damage affected many temples, buildings, roads, and some trekking infrastructure.
We spent 3 months trekking around Nepal in the fall of 2016 and had very few inconveniences due to the earthquake. Some signs of the devastation remain, but most trails have been fully repaired. Accommodations were safe and plentiful, especially along popular routes.
Teahouse food options are generally simple but sufficient. Menus are roughly the same at most teahouses (see example menu below) with the ubiquitous dhal bhat as a hearty and delicious staple. You will also commonly find momos (dumplings), pasta, rice dishes, soups, pizzas, and in some places yak steak and apple pie. A home-cooked warm meal will always be a nice treat at the end of a long day on the trail.
Although teahouse menus are always similar, you’ll notice that prices increase as you move farther away from cities. Most supplies must be carried by yak or donkey to remote locations, which explains the increase in cost. It’s also always a good idea to carry snacks when trekking between villages and on long pass days.
*Note: If you plan to book a trip through a trekking agency, make sure to talk about food costs ahead of time. Most companies will give you two options: 1) you pay an up-front fee that will cover all food costs on your trip or 2) you bring money and pay for meals as you go. The first option is easier because you won’t have to hike with lots of cash and handle money throughout the day. The second option can be much cheaper though, because you’ll only pay for exactly what you order.
Below is an example of a typical teahouse menu. Prices are displayed in Nepalese Rupees (about 100 = 1 USD). For reference, this was one of the most expensive teahouses we visited.
It’s important to have a water treatment plan before you trek in Nepal. Water is usually easily accessible, but you’ll want to purify it first for safety. Water treatment pills, UV sterilizers, and water filters are all popular options. You can also purchase bottled water from teahouses, but that’s an eco-unfriendly strategy that will greatly increase cost and waste on your trip. We used a SteriPEN Ultra on our last Nepal trip and we highly recommend it. It was fast, easy to use, and we didn’t have to ingest any funky tasting chemicals.
While hiking, we recommend carrying at least 1-2 liters of water and filling up often. Staying hydrated is essential while trekking and it becomes increasingly important as you hike higher in elevation. Also, it’s easy to forget about drinking water when it’s chilly outside, but it’s imperative to stay hydrated. Ordering pots of hot tea can be a great way to ensure you’re getting enough fluids on cold days.
Trail towns don’t have ATM machines and teahouses rarely accept credit cards, so you’ll want to make sure you bring plenty of cash for your trek. In the fall of 2016, we budgeted around $30 per person per day for food and accommodation on our treks. In the Annapurna and Manaslu regions that budget covered our daily expenses and then some. We often had extra funds for treats like hot showers, beer, and baked goods. In the Everest region our $30 per day didn’t go quite as far, but we were still able to buy the occasional treat.
In general, it’s always smart to carry more cash on the trail than you might think. Luxury items like chocolate, tea, beer, wifi, and hot showers are all great morale boosters, but the costs add up. You may also want to buy small gifts, replace broken equipment, or hire transportation if your travel plans fall through.
It’s also important to consider the costs of charging your electronic devices. Some teahouses will let you charge batteries for free, but most collect a fee. Usually you’ll be able to get a full battery charge for $2-5, but in remote areas it can cost more.
Most teahouses offer hot showers for a fee, usually around $3-5 per shower. Showers will range in quality from a bucket of hot water to the rare proper shower. We found it often wasn’t worth the cost for a mediocre shower, so we recommend bringing wet wipes for quick cleaning.
*Note: Namche Bazaar in the Everest region does actually have an ATM machine, but it can be inconsistent, so we wouldn’t recommend counting on it.
TRANSPORTATION
Most visitors fly into the Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Kathmandu is a great base for sightseeing, planning a trek, or any last minute hiking preparations.
In general, transportation around Nepal is very slow going. Long bus rides, cancelled flights, and unexpected delays are sadly part of the norm. So make sure to give yourself a couple buffer days when planning your trip and embrace the adventure.
Most popular treks depart directly from Kathmandu or Pokhara, the second largest city in Nepal. Some treks are accessible via flight, but many require a long bus or jeep ride to the starting point. Depending on your destination, there will usually be a couple different options to get there. Local transportation tends to be cheaper, but “tourist” options will often be far more comfortable.
If you organize a trip through a trekking company, they will take care of the logistics for you. If you choose to trek independently, you’ll need to get the proper permits and pay any park/conservation fees before your trek.
Every trekker in Nepal needs a TIMS card ( Trekking Information Management System ), which costs around $20. You can get your TIMS card and pay your park fees at the Nepal Tourism Board offices in Kathmandu or Pokhara before your trek.
It’s also likely that you’ll need to pay conservation or national park fees. These can be obtained ahead of time and commonly cost around $20-$30, depending on where you’ll be hiking. You may be able to pay some park fees on the trail, but we found it much easier to take care of everything ahead of time.
UPDATE- JANUARY 13, 2018 – There have been some changes to the TIMS requirements for the Khumbu (Everest) region. It is no longer necessary to obtain a TIMS Card for this area. Instead, they are collecting a Khumbu pass, which costs NRS 2000 or USD 20 per person. It is uncertain how long this change will stay in place as many people in the travel agencies are unhappy with the system. We always recommend checking the most current requirements before beginning your trek.
PERMITS – RESTRICTED AREAS
There are several restricted areas in Nepal that require special trekking permits. If you’re heading to one of these areas you’ll need to obtain permits through a registered trekking agency and travel with a guide. As of March 2017, the following areas require restricted-area permits: Manaslu, Nar-Phu, Tsum Valley, Upper Mustang, Dolpo, Kanchenjunga, and Humla.
PHONES AND WI-FI
For better or worse, it’s becoming increasingly easy to stay connected while trekking in Nepal. Along the most popular routes, some teahouses sell wifi and you may even get a phone signal using a local SIM card. Don’t count on staying connected though, because service is often unreliable at best.
If you buy a local SIM card in Kathmandu, there are two main companies to choose from: Ncell and Nepal Telecom. As of fall 2016, there was minimal (if any) coverage in remote regions, such as Manaslu, Tsum Valley or Dolpo. In the Annapurna region, Nepal Telecom SIM cards seem to work okay, while in the Everest region, NCell was a better bet. We were far from impressed by phone connectivity on the trail, but we expect coverage will get better in the coming years.
Wifi may be available at some teahouses along your trek as well, though speed and functionality will be highly variable. In the Everest region they sell pre-paid wifi cards (around $3 for 100mb) that work well but get used up quickly. In contrast, on the Annapurna Circuit you may pay a one time fee of $3-5 for wi-fi access, but connections can be very slow (if working at all).
VISA INFORMATION
In order to enter Nepal you will need to obtain a tourist visa. Most people get a visa on arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. You can also do this ahead of time at a Nepal Embassy if you are traveling overland from India.
As of March 2017, US travelers had three tourist visa options. You could choose a 15 day visa ($25), a 30 day visa ($40), or a 90 day visa ($100). There are electronic visa machines at the international airport and staff to assist with forms. We applied for a 90 day visa on arrival and found the process to be surprisingly quick and efficient.
Please check current visa guidelines for specific information as these policies can change and this website is not an official source of information on Nepal visas.
RESPONSIBLE TREKKING & CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
The number one rule of backpacking conservation is Leave No Trace . Learn it and live it.
Don’t buy bottled water in teahouses. The extra cost and waste are not worth it. Instead, use treatment pills, a water filter, or a UV sterilizer. We used the SteriPEN Ultra and loved it.
Don’t litter. Pack out your trash and keep Nepal beautiful for generations to come. If you really want to be a superstar, pack out trash that you find along the trail.
Deforestation is a real problem in Nepal. Avoid using firewood and stay in lodges that use eco-friendly fuel.
Dress conservatively, especially when sightseeing in towns. For women, this sadly means no shorts or shirts that show shoulders.
Public displays of affection are frowned upon in Nepal, so save it for private time.
Walk to the left of religious monuments such as mani walls, chortens, and prayer wheels. If you spin a prayer wheel, always spin it clockwise.
Follow the rules when visiting temples. Shoes off, no exposed shoulders, cover your legs, and don’t take pictures inside. Also, don’t enter Hindu temples wearing leather products.
Always ask permission before taking a photo of a person. Most people won’t mind, but if they decline, respect their wishes.

Classic Nepal
Great tour and introduction to Nepal. Tour includes time in the urban jungle in Kathmandu, the resort lake town of Pokhara, a very charming old town in the mountains, and the wildlife refuge in Chitwan. Itinerary was balanced between activities and free time, enough that we never felt rushed or forced. Great accommodations except for one overnight in a guest house at Bhaktapur. Otherwise, perfect trip!
Quite pricey compared to doing it yourself but a professional tour, all of us made it too. Overall a good tour.

Incredible adventure with Sherpa Expedition. Met by company day before flying from Kathmandu to Lukla. Guide, Mindu and porter, Sham, were excellent. Stayed in good teahouses with good meals.
Annapurna Sanctuary
Nice hotel in Kathmandu, hiking was great. A ton of additional expenses, tipping drivers and porters and every meal was out of pocket. The cities were dirty, roads were a mess, stray dogs everywhere, electricity minimal. A great experience but be prepared for some discomfort. Scenery in the mountains were breathtaking.

Our recent trip to Nepal was an amazing experience . It truly was a trip of a lifetime! Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Shailesh Pokharel, the local travel advisor and this was a fantastic start! Despite the constant rainy weather everything went as planned. The trip, overall, was a huge success. Even in difficult, due to the rain situations, our guide, Valmiki Rijal, Sujan, as we used to call him, offered alternative solutions that help us to enjoy every moment of our trip. On the way to every location, he provided interesting and fascinating facts about the history and geography of the places and regions. He is very knowledgeable about Nepal in general, he is nice and engaging and made sure to give us an amazing experience. Sujan was very patient with us and did his best to accommodate our needs and interests. Sujan is a great guide, a true sample of excellent tour guide! After spending 7 days with him, I don’t hesitate to say that we got an exceptional friend in Nepal. Apart of the rainy weather, the other problem we faced was the bad condition of the 2 hotels we stayed in, but again everybody did their best to facilitate our stay. Both Shailesh Pokharel and Valmiki Rijal, (Sujan) and all the people met in Nepal were so friendly that make us felt like home. During our stay in Nepal, we always felt like we were among friends. We really loved meeting Sujan’s family and enjoying the dinner, Shailesh’s wife offered to us at their home. Shailesh and Sujan you have did a great job. Thank you! We highly recommend Nepal Trekking Routes!

WHY HIKE NEPAL WITH WILDLAND?
1. TOP RATED TREKKING COMPANY
Going with a proven guiding company is critical, especially when hiking in a place like Nepal. At Wildland we have been guiding people into extraordinary landscapes like Nepal since 2005 and since then have earned top spots on multiple Trip Advisor pages, 5 stars on Trust Pilot, 5 stars on Google, and 5 stars on Yelp. These exceptional reviews reflect the quality of our trips and the professionalism of our staff.
3. LOCAL WILDLAND GUIDES
Our Nepal treks are led by local guides who we have vetted, trained and brought on to the Wildland team. They are the best of the best. Having Nepali guides who are also trained to meet the Wildland quality and risk management standard provides a top-tier experience that gives guests the cultural immersion and local knowledge that comes with local guides, plus the trust and confidence that comes from hiking with Wildland professionals.
5. HAND PICKED ACCOMMODATIONS AND GEAR
The quality of Himalayan teahouses can vary significantly, and they vary on our trips as well. But you can trust that the accommodations we select are high quality, clean, and are in great locations to put us right in the action. This is critical when hiking especially the more popular routes like Everest Basecamp and Annapurna. And our gear is from top, award-winning companies to ensure you have a top shelf experience of our equipment on your trek.
2. ALL-INCLUSIVE TREKKING VACATIONS
When you travel and hike in Nepal with Wildland you can expect to focus on trekking and experiencing the magic of the Himalayas, and let us take care of the complex details like transportation, gear, porters, teahouse reservations, food, permits and more. We pick you up at the airport on Day 1 and provide everything until we drop you back off at the airport on the final day. This level of customer service is designed to allow Wildland guests to make the very most of their time in Nepal worry-free!
4. SMALL GROUP TREKKING ADVENTURES
Many adventure companies fill trips up to 24 or 30 guests and we can understand why – they’re more profitable. At Wildland though we take a different approach. We prioritize quality over profit by capping our Nepal trips at 12 guests and 2-3 guides plus suport staff. Small groups allow us to do several things larger groups prohibit. First, we can customize the experience more for each individual. Second, we can adjust the hiking pace for people so they don’t feel rushed or like they’re being held back. And third, guests get more time with the guides which is often a wonderful cultural experience.
Introduction to Nepal
Enjoy a "Taster" Video about Our Nepal Treks! With authentic footage and photos taken by Wildland guests and guides, this short film showcases the majesty of Nepal. Wildland trips are all-inclusive and led by local, expert guides hired and trained to meet the Wildland standard.
MORE ABOUT TREKKING NEPAL
Why a nepal hiking vacation.
Nepal is probably the world’s most famous trekking destination, and for good reason. It’s also home to the world’s tallest mountain range, the Himalayas. What Nepal offers is a world of extreme mountain beauty laced with hiking paths that connect a web of relatively primitive, high alpine Buddhist and Hindu villages. It would be difficult to intentionally design a more perfect mountain trekking, cultural tourism destination. As we hike, we are constantly in awe of the soaring, glaciated Himalayan peaks that surround us; the deep, roaring river canyons that cross our path; and the charming, rustic cultures that host us at night. Nepal is a trekker’s dream!
HIKE NEPAL WITH A GUIDE?
Whether it’s on a hike to Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, or another famous Nepal trek, you can hike on your own or with a guide. The advantages of going with a guide company, like Wildland Trekking, are many:
- You will be trekking with local, expert guides and support staff, which allows for a fulfilling cultural experience, and contributes significantly to the local economies.
- We handle all of the complicated logistics of planning a Nepal hike, including permits, local transportation, porters, meals, gear, teahouse accommodations and more.
- The Himalayas are dangerous and with an expert, professional hiking company you will enjoy an increased level of safety. Also, in the case of an emergency, guide companies have systems in place to effectively care for and evacuate guests.
- You will learn a tremendous amount about the natural and cultural history of the region, which is for many guests a major highlight.
EVEREST BASE CAMP OR ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP?
Two of the most famous treks in Nepal are Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp. If you’re deciding between the two, it’s important to understand the key differences. Annapurna is easier to get to logistically. Everest Base Camp has more buddhist monasteries. Everest Base Camp reaches a higher elevation. Everest Base Camp is quite a bit more difficult, Annapurna Base Camp quite a bit easier (although still strenuous by most standards). Both are absolutely stunning journeys through the Himalayas, and will leave you mesmerized by the beauty of Nepal.
The Mt. Rainier Inn trip with Wildland was perfect. The Inn was comfortable; the guide was an expert in his field; the pacing was just right to accommodate all those on the trip; the scenery was ideal. If you can go please do.

Best time to visit nepal.
Nepal's climate is primarily temperate, with some tropical and alpine regions. From June until August, the monsoon hits, making it too wet and humid for trekking.
The post-monsoon period from September to November is rice-harvesting season and is characterized by lush vegetation, clean air, and excellent mountain views. Days are warm and sunny, although nights become increasingly cool. This is the start of the trekking season, which runs until May.
Winter (December to February) is dry and clear, with temperatures dropping below freezing at high altitudes, although in Kathmandu, it can still sometimes reach a pleasant 77ºF.
Spring (March to May) is warmer and is a particularly beautiful time to visit as the rhododendrons and the orchids are in flower.

Culture and customs
With more than 30 different ethnic groups and a wide range of religions and language dialects, Nepalese society is rich in diversity. With Indian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Mongolian influences, Nepalese food, clothing, customs, and music vary, depending on what area you're traveling in and what ethnicity people belong to or identify with.
Learn more about regional culture on our 15 day Tamang Heritage & Langtang Valley Trek.
Hinduism is the dominant religion, followed by Buddhism. Standing alongside these religions, there are also small populations of people who follow Islam and Christianity. Simultaneously, animist beliefs and belief in spirits are common throughout Nepal, particularly within rural communities.
Like India, the caste system exists in Nepal, as does the custom of arranged marriage. As one of the least urbanized countries in the world, life differs greatly between the rural and city-dwelling populations, with rural people largely living a very simple, traditional life - slow-paced, village-based, in connection to their family and local community. Nepalese people are generally very friendly and welcoming of travelers.
Experience Nepal from a new perspective on our culturally-centred 13 day Nepal Women's Expedition.
Eating and drinking
With Tibetan, Chinese, and Indian influences, Nepalese food is flavorsome without being too spicy, filling without being rich, and reasonably priced for travelers on a budget.
Things to try in Nepal
These fried or steamed dumplings are usually filled with meat or cheese. Comparable to Tibetan momos, kothey are flavoursome snacks that can usually be bought cheaply from street stalls or markets.
Popular with vegetarians and vegans, this lentil soup is usually served with rice and found almost everywhere in Nepal. A safe yet tasty choice for everyone.
This spiced meat curry will usually consist of chicken, buffalo, or mutton, as beef hardly features on the menu in Nepal for religious reasons.
Learn more about what to eat in Nepal
Geography and environment
Landlocked Nepal shares borders with China and India and is home to a wide range of landscapes and habitats. As much as 75% of Nepal's land is dominated by hills and mountain ranges, including the world's highest mountain, but there's so much more to this region than Everest.
A lot of the country is known as the Terai region, characterized by forests, plains, marshes, and scrub, and within these varied landscapes are the many impressive animal species that inhabit this region. Chitwan National Park is perhaps one of the best places in all of Asia to see its incredible wildlife. Home to a variety of common and protected species, you may be able to spot some exciting house names like the single-horned Asiatic rhinoceros, leopard, and the Bengal Tiger.

History and government
Early history.
Nepal has been inhabited by people for more than 2,500 years, with evidence suggesting tribes of mountain-dwelling people moved to the area from China and other Central Asian regions. Due to a lack of archaeological evidence, little is known about the early periods of history in Nepal, with legend and folklore providing the backdrop to this kingdom of mystery. Ruled early on by the Kirati Dynasty, Nepal continued to be ruled by a succession of dynasties until the Malla Dynasty emerged in the 12th century. During this time, the kingdom expanded rapidly and widely before evolving into small communities with local rule. By the 15th century, many temples and palaces had been built in Nepal, some of which are still in existence either as functioning temples or UNESCO World Heritage sites. The kingdom of Nepal was unified by King Shah in 1768 and went on to sign commercial treaties with Britain in 1792 and 1816 after hostilities with the British East India Company. Visit a relic of Nepal's royal power on our One Week in Nepal Tour.
Recent history
Nepal held its first elections in 1959, but with the king dissolving parliament and banning political parties soon after, Nepal's monarchy retained power. After decades of pro-democracy movements, Nepal was finally declared a democratic republic in 2008, with Nepal's monarchy being removed from power after ruling for more than 240 years. Nepal celebrated its Year of Tourism in 2011, with arrivals increasing year upon year since 2006 due to increased infrastructure, expansion of air travel, and the enduring popularity of the Himalayas and mighty Mount Everest. Learn about Nepal's climbing history at the International Mountain Museum in Pokhara during a Nepal trekking tour.

Arguably, the most interesting shopping in Nepal can be found in Kathmandu - with its vibrant local artistic community populating the markets and laneway shops with colorful art and handicrafts.
It's a good idea to check with your local customs officials to ensure that you are able to bring some items back into your home country. The United States and Canada generally have strict customs laws.
Things to buy in Nepal
1. Prayer flags
You don't have to be a spiritual person to appreciate the beauty of vibrant prayer flags. Take some home to inject a bit of Nepal into your home or backyard.
2. Scarves and wraps
Travelers will be able to find top-quality cashmere in the boutiques and markets of Nepal, so take the chance to stock up on colorful scarves, pashminas and wraps at good prices.
3. Buddhist art
Beautifully painted, colored thankas and mandalas are commonly found in the markets and shops of Kathmandu and make a meaningful souvenir to take back home.
Festivals and events in Nepal
Phalgun festivals.
Kathmandu explodes into a whirlpool of color, dance, music, and rhythm with the annual Phalgun festivals - Losar, Shivaratri, and Holi. Expect everything from public bathing ceremonies to people committing extreme feats of weightlifting with their body parts! With Tibetan rice wine flowing and an amazing array of festive food on offer - this is a great time to be in Kathmandu.
Indra Jatra
This eight-day festival held in Kathmandu features ceremonies, dancing, and displays of spirituality, but none of these events compare to the spectacle of the third day when Kumari (the living goddess) tours the city streets aboard a chariot. Other popular gods also come out to play and parade, as masked dancers perform in Durbar Square in this exceptional display of local culture.
Mani Rimdu Festival
Offering a rare chance to observe the Sherpa culture of the Everest region, this festival held at Tengboche Monastery features days of meditation cycles, religious ceremonies, masked dances, and parades. This holy time for Buddhists sees locals travel by foot to receive blessings en masse against a stunning Himalayan backdrop.

Nepal travel faqs, do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.
Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards
From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).
However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.
Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.
Do I need a visa to travel to Nepal?
All foreign nationals (except Indian passport holders) require a visa to enter Nepal. Visas are obtainable from embassies abroad, land borders (including borders with India & Tibet) and on arrival at Kathmandu's Tribhuvan Airport.
Getting a visa at the airport or land borders can sometimes take time due to long queues. There have been instances when travelers are asked to show proof of exit from the country, i.e., flight tickets. You may also need to provide two passport photos and the following fees in US dollars (subject to change, cash only). Other currencies are also accepted, although rates may differ.
This page is for general information only and may be subject to change.

Is tipping customary in Nepal?
While tipping isn't mandatory in Nepal, it's considered polite to leave service workers in restaurants and cafes a 10% tip if a service charge hasn't already been included in the bill.
What is the internet access like in Nepal?
Travelers will be able to access the internet in large cities like Kathmandu. Smaller towns, isolated areas and rural villages may have limited to no access, so prepare to disconnect when leaving the city.
Can I use my cell phone while in Nepal?
Cell phone coverage is generally good in urban areas, but can be patchy and less reliable in rural and mountainous areas. Ensure global roaming is activated on your phone before you arrive.
What are the toilets like in Nepal?
Squat toilets are the most common toilets in Nepal. Always carry your own toilet paper and soap or hand sanitizer, as they aren't usually provided.
What will it cost for a...?
Nepal's currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). The cost of food and necessities differs depending on your elevation, with Kathmandu being cheaper.
Here's what you can expect to pay in Kathmandu for a:
- Bottle of water (approx 50 fl oz) = 25-50 NPR
- Cappuccino = 100-300 NPR
- Cup of tea/chai = 10-30 NPR
- Bottle of domestic beer = 200-500 NPR
- Meal (inexpensive restaurant) = 150-500 NPR
Can I drink the water in Nepal?
It's not recommended to drink the tap water in Nepal. Filtered water is a better option, try to use a refillable canteen or water bottle rather than buying bottled water. Remember to avoid ice in drinks and peel fruit before eating.
Are credit cards accepted widely in Nepal?
Credit cards are usually accepted by modern hotels, restaurants and medium-large shops in tourist areas. Smaller shops, cafes, market stalls and places in remote areas probably won’t have facilities that support credit cards, so ensure you have enough cash to cover expenses while in rural areas or when visiting smaller vendors and bazaars.
What is ATM access like in Nepal?
ATMs can be found in Nepal's large cities. Smaller towns and isolated areas will have very few, or none at all, so have enough cash to cover purchases, as ATM access may not be available.

Is Nepal accessible for travelers with disabilities?
Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible , regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.
Airports are not yet equipped to international accessibility standards and there are few (if any) adapted vehicles available for hire. Only a few high-end hotels have custom built bathrooms i.e. with safety rails or roll in showers. Getting around can be challenging for travelers with disabilities as pedestrians often share the road with vehicles, cities and towns are crowded and streets winding and chaotic. Rickshaws and taxis can be hired easily in Kathmandu, although traffic congestion can be severe. Porters and assistants are readily available for trekking trips. The country is keen to make headway in the accessibility space, with an annual conference on Accessible Tourism being held since 2014 and a shift towards more positive attitudes in the way people with disabilities are perceived in the region. The first “accessible trekking trail” in the country was opened near Pokhara in 2018. Travel companies have arranged custom treks and adventures in Nepal for travelers with disabilities, including on the popular Everest Base Camp route.
Is Nepal a LGBTQIA+ friendly destination?
Everyone should feel comfortable when they travel with Intrepid and we know that many of our travelers are part of the LGBTQI community. It’s important for our travelers to be aware of the local laws and customs in the destinations we visit as some countries have laws that discriminate against LGBTQI people. We recommend you visit Equaldex and/or Smartraveller before you choose your trip for up-to-date advice and information about LGBTQI-related laws.
Nepal legalized homosexuality in 2007 and implemented protection by law on the basis of sexual orientation the same year. The new constitution of 2015 also contained a number of provisions for the LGBTQI community, including the right to have preferred gender on ID cards and allowance of some gender neutral terms. It is expected that future ratifications of the constitution may include legalization of same-sex marriage. Nepal recognizes a third gender (meti). Nepal Pride is an annual event held in Kathmandu since 2001 and the Nepal Tourism Board is keen to promote the country as an LGBTQI-friendly destination. Despite the openness of the laws, many LGBTQI Nepalis face discrimination and societal pressure for heterosexual marriage, with harassment and violence, particularly for transgender people, not uncommon. For the LGBTQI visitor to Nepal it’s unlikely you will experience any difficulties or hostility. Holding hands with your partner is socially acceptable, but public intimacy is generally frowned upon as Nepal is still quite conservative in this regard.

Does my trip to Nepal support The Intrepid Foundation?
Yes, all Intrepid trips support the Intrepid Foundation. In fact, we make a donation on behalf of every traveler. Trips to Nepal directly support our foundation partners, Sagarmatha Next and Seven Women.
Intrepid will double the impact by dollar-matching all post-trip donations made to The Intrepid Foundation.
Sagarmatha Next
Sagarmatha Next are tackling waste management issues in the Everest region of Nepal. Donations help them remove waste responsibly, empower travelers with knowledge on how to care for the environment here and host artists who are turning rubbish into art at their information center.
Find out more or make a donation.
Do I need to purchase travel insurance before traveling?
Absolutely. All passengers traveling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

What is it like traveling on a small group tour?

Plus, you'll have ready-made friends to share the journey with. All you have to do is turn up with a healthy sense of adventure and we’ll take care of the rest.

Thus, began Nepal Hiking Team.
Nepal Hiking Team is a travel agency that has been operating since 2009. We organize tours to Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet and arrange hikes to various regions of Nepal. We understand the different preferences and needs of everyone; therefore, we created a diverse range of packages.

About our nepal trekking tours.
The best way to discover the stunning mountain scenery of Nepal is on foot. Head to the Himalaya on one of our Nepal trekking tours and you'll be surrounded with snow-capped peaks and immersed in the colourful culture. We offer Nepal trekking tours on the Annapurna routes. Whilst challenging, this area offers diverse landscapes, from thick bamboo forest to prayer flag-lined mountain passes. We offer walking tours for different walking abilities, from our Moderate grade Annapurna Foothills trip to the Challenging grade high-altitude Annapurna Sanctuary or Annapurna Circuit treks which go to Annapurna Base Camp. And whichever trip you choose, you'll have an experienced mountain guide with you to help you along the hike.

What to expect on a Nepal trekking tour
What Nepal trekking routes do we offer on our trips?
We offer trips that hike the following routes:
- Annapurna Sanctuary - A 9-day trek starting in the foothills and climbing up to the Annapurna Sanctuary, a high glacial basin surrounded by the Annapurna range. The trek leads to Machhapucchre Base Camp and then Annapurna Base Camp before descending again.
- Annapurna Circuit - A 17-day classic trek that does a circuit of the Annapurna massif. This challenging high-altitude trek peaks at Thorong La Pass that sits 5416m above sea level and gives breathtaking views over the Himalaya.
The most popular time to trek in Nepal is between mid-September to mid-December, when the monsoon rains have ended, temperatures are moderate and the skies are clear, giving great views of the mountains.
The second most popular season is March to May, which is when the rhododendrons are in full bloom. This period is still dry with moderate temperatures, although you may experience a few hazier days. What distance do you walk on the Annapurna Circuit? (or similar Nepal trekking tour)
The distance depends on the Nepal trekking trip you choose. See the 'Walking and trekking information' section on the trip page to see a breakdown of the distance walked per day. However, in mountainous terrain distances on paper can be deceptive which is why we always include an indication of the approximate number of hours you'll be walking and the total ascent and descent each day. How difficult is the trekking in Nepal?
We offer either Moderate or Challenging grade trekking trips so you can choose which best suits your fitness level and ability. How safe is the trekking in Nepal?
As with any high-altitude trek there are some risks, but we have several factors in place to reduce the risks:
- Our trekking ascent rates are carefully planned to fall within Wilderness Medicine Society (WMS) guidelines
- All our trek leaders are qualified in first aid and specially trained to recognise and deal with Altitude Sickness
- We carry a Portable Altitude Chamber (PAC) to help relieve altitude mountain sickness (AMS) on treks above 3000 metres
- On treks into extremely remote areas we carry a satellite phone for emergency use
Our trekking tours in Nepal are definitely suitable for solo travellers - in fact 60% of our customers travel solo. You'll be travelling with a like-minded group of trekkers and our expert leader or mountain guide, so you'll never need to worry about being alone.
On our group trips you'll typically share a room or tent with someone of the same sex, although sometimes you may share with more people, for example in some of the tea houses on our Annapurna treks. The trip notes will list the sort of accommodation to expect for each night. If you'd prefer a room to yourself, this may be possible for some or all nights at an extra cost. Again, the trip notes list where single rooms are available.

- Witness breathtaking sunrise views from renowned vantage points like Poon Hill, Kala Patthar, and Gokyo Ri, as the first rays of light kiss the snow-capped peaks.
- Indulge in authentic Nepali cuisine, savoring traditional dishes like dal bhat (lentil soup with rice), momo (dumplings), and gundruk (fermented leafy greens).
- Immerse yourself in the tranquility of pristine lakes like Gokyo and Tilicho, and cross exhilarating suspension bridges over crystal-clear glacial rivers.

Travel Tips for Nepal Treks
- Plan your trekking holiday in Nepal during the peak seasons of spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) to enjoy clear skies, moderate temperatures, and favorable trekking conditions.
- Prioritize physical fitness and allow ample time to acclimatize to the high altitudes. Start with shorter treks before attempting more challenging routes.
- Pack essentials like sturdy hiking boots, waterproof jackets, loose-fit trousers, layers for varying temperatures, a good-quality backpack, sunscreen, a headlamp with extra batteries, insect repellent, and a reusable water bottle.
- Enhance your trekking experience and safety by hiring a certified guide or joining a reputable trekking agency. They provide valuable insights, ensure safety, and navigate the trails efficiently.
- Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and opt for nutritious meals to maintain energy levels during a Nepal trekking tour.
- Respect local customs, traditions, and religious sites. Practice responsible tourism by leaving no trace, disposing of waste properly, and supporting local communities.
- Obtain comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking activities. Familiarize yourself with the necessary permits, such as the TIMS (Trekkers' Information Management System) and national park permits. You will also need an aerial permit from CAAN if you want to operate a camera-fitted drone.
- Research and plan your budget accordingly, factoring in accommodation, meals, permits, and additional expenses such as optional activities, tips for guides and porters, and souvenirs.

The 10 Best Treks in Nepal’s Majestic Mountains 2024
Posted: February 21, 2024 | Last updated: February 21, 2024
Nestled between the towering peaks of the Himalayas, Nepal is a land of unparalleled natural beauty and a haven for trekkers. From the iconic Everest Base Camp to the serene trails of the Annapurna region, Nepal’s mountains offer a diverse array of trekking experiences, each more awe-inspiring than the last. This guide will take you through 10 of Nepal’s most majestic mountain destinations, providing insights and practical advice for your trekking adventure.
1. Everest Base Camp
Embarking on the Everest Base Camp trek, you’ll journey through the heart of the Himalayas, where the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse, tower above. Starting with a thrilling flight to Lukla, the trek takes you through traditional Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, and along the Dudh Kosi River. The route is challenging yet rewarding, with acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. The final ascent to Base Camp offers a stunning view of the Khumbu Icefall, making all the effort worthwhile.
Insider’s Tip: Acclimatize properly to avoid altitude sickness.
When To Travel: Pre-monsoon (March to May) or post-monsoon (September to November).
How To Get There: Fly to Lukla from Kathmandu and start your trek from there.
2. Annapurna Circuit
The Annapurna Circuit is a classic trek that takes you around the majestic Annapurna massif. This journey offers a remarkable diversity of landscapes, from the subtropical jungle of the Marshyangdi Valley to the arid, Tibetan-like terrain of the Upper Mustang. Crossing the Thorong La Pass, the trek’s highest point, is a challenging but exhilarating experience. The trek also allows for cultural immersion in the mountain communities of the Gurung and Manangi people.
Insider’s Tip: Take side trips to the ice lakes or Tilicho Lake for additional stunning views.
When To Travel: March to May and October to November for the best weather conditions.
How To Get There: The trek typically starts in Besisahar or Bhulbhule, accessible by road from Kathmandu or Pokhara.
3. Langtang Valley
The Langtang Valley trek offers a quieter, more intimate Himalayan experience. It begins with a drive to Syabrubesi and a trek through forests, pastures, and traditional villages. The valley provides close-up views of Langtang Ri and Langtang Lirung. The trek also includes a visit to Kyanjin Gompa, a significant Buddhist monastery, and an optional climb to Tserko Ri for panoramic mountain vistas. This region was heavily affected by the 2015 earthquake, and trekking here supports local recovery efforts.
Insider’s Tip: Extend your trek to Gosaikunda Lake for a spiritual experience.
When To Travel: March to May and September to November for clear skies and pleasant temperatures.
How To Get There: Drive to Syabrubesi from Kathmandu, the starting point of the trek.
4. Manaslu Circuit
The Manaslu Circuit trek circles the majestic Manaslu, the world’s eighth-highest peak. This trek is less crowded than its more famous counterparts. It offers a look into the untouched natural beauty and culture of the Nepali Himalayas. The trek involves crossing the Larkya La Pass and traverses through Budhi Gandaki Valley, known for its mix of Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist villages. The circuit is a challenging trek, blending cultural richness and scenic splendor.
Insider’s Tip: Ensure you have a guide, as the Manaslu trek requires special permits.
When To Travel: March to May and September to November are ideal.
How To Get There: The trek starts at Arughat or Soti Khola, which can be reached by bus or jeep from Kathmandu.
5. Upper Mustang
Trekking in Upper Mustang takes you to a region that was once an independent kingdom. The landscape here is more desert-like, characterized by eroded canyons and colorful stratified rock formations. Lo Manthang, the walled capital, is a highlight, with its monasteries and royal palace. This area is culturally and geographically more akin to Tibet, offering a unique trekking experience distinct from the rest of Nepal.
Insider’s Tip: Visit the ancient monasteries and the royal palace in Lo Manthang. Stay at the beautiful Shinta Mani Mustang.
When To Travel: May to October, as the region lies in the rain shadow area.
How To Get There: Fly or drive to Jomsom, then trek or drive to Lo Manthang.
6. Gokyo Lakes
The Gokyo Lakes trek is a fantastic alternative to the Everest Base Camp trek, taking you to a series of stunning high-altitude lakes in the Gokyo Valley. The trek is less crowded and provides spectacular views of Everest and surrounding mountains. Climbing Gokyo Ri offers one of the best viewpoints in the Everest region. The trek passes through Sherpa villages, offering insight into the local culture.
Insider’s Tip: Trek during the full moon for spectacular night views of the mountains.
When To Travel: March to May and September to November for the best weather.
How To Get There: Similar to Everest Base Camp, fly to Lukla and follow a different trail.
7. Poon Hill
The Poon Hill trek is ideal for those looking for a shorter hike in the Annapurna region. It’s known for offering some of the most spectacular mountain views, especially at sunrise from Poon Hill itself. The trek passes through rhododendron forests and Gurung villages, giving you a chance to experience the culture of the central Himalayan region. The trek starts and ends in Nayapul, a short drive from Pokhara.
Insider’s Tip: Carry enough cash, as there are no ATMs on this route.
When To Travel: October to November and March to April for clear skies and good weather.
How To Get There: The trek starts from Nayapul, which is a short drive from Pokhara.
8. Kanchenjunga Base Camp
The Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek is a challenging and adventurous journey to the base of the world’s third-highest mountain. This remote trek offers stunning views of Kanchenjunga and a chance to experience pristine wilderness. The trek passes through diverse ecosystems, traditional villages, and high alpine terrain. It’s a trek for those seeking solitude and unspoiled nature.
Insider’s Tip: Be prepared for basic accommodations and facilities, as this is a less developed trekking route.
When To Travel: March to May and September to November for stable weather.
How To Get There: Fly or drive to Bhadrapur, then drive to Taplejung, the starting point of the trek.
9. Makalu Base Camp
The Makalu Base Camp trek is a challenging journey to the base of Mount Makalu, the world’s fifth-highest mountain. This trek takes you through some of Nepal’s most remote and wild areas, offering stunning views of the eastern Himalayas. The Makalu Barun National Park, through which the trek passes, is a biodiversity hotspot with a rich variety of flora and fauna.
Insider’s Tip: Be physically and mentally prepared for a challenging trek with basic facilities.
When To Trave: Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods for the best conditions.
How To Get There: Fly to Tumlingtar from Kathmandu, then drive to Num, the starting point of the trek.
10. Rara Lake
Trekking to Rara Lake offers a serene experience away from the more popular trekking routes. Rara, the largest lake in Nepal, is known for its clear blue waters and scenic beauty. The trek to the lake is an adventure in itself, passing through remote Jumla and Mugu districts. The area around the lake, Rara National Park, is home to a variety of wildlife and offers tranquility unmatched in other parts of Nepal.
Insider’s Tip: Visit the nearby Rara National Park for a chance to see unique wildlife.
When To Travel: September to October and April to May for the best trekking conditions.
How To Get There: Fly to Nepalgunj from Kathmandu, then to Jumla, from where the trek to Rara Lake starts.
The Bottom Line
Trekking in Nepal is more than a physical journey; it explores some of the most majestic landscapes on Earth. Each destination offers its unique charm, from the world-renowned Everest Base Camp to the tranquil trails of Rara Lake. As you trek through these mountains, you’ll not only witness breathtaking vistas but also immerse yourself in the rich culture and hospitality of the Nepali people. Pack your bags, lace up your boots, and prepare for an adventure that will leave you with memories to last a lifetime.
