Everest Base Camp Trek

G adventures is dialled when it comes to the EBC trek.

Good company! I just finished the ABC trek, the guide was super kind and professional.

Experience of a life time. Amazing guide jagan. Awesome scenary!

Having a guide made it so stress free with having all our accommodation booked, and they ordered all our meals and provided recommendations. All our accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Our guide had a great knowledge of all the mountains and local area, very informative. I suffered with altitude sickness but they stayed with me and got me to EBC and back. A great team!

Everest Base Camp Trekking

I had the incredible opportunity to embark on the Everest Base Camp Trek with Sherpa Expedition in the first week of January, and it was undoubtedly one of the most memorable experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived in Kathmandu until the day I reached Everest Base Camp, everything was meticulously organized and executed by the Sherpa Expedition team. First and foremost, I must mention the exceptional guide, Mindu Sherpa. Mindu's expertise and knowledge of the region were unparalleled. He had an incredible ability to navigate the challenging terrain, ensuring our safety, while also providing us with valuable insights into the local culture, history, and traditions. Mindu's passion for the Himalayas was contagious, and his constant encouragement and motivation kept us going during the toughest parts of the trek. Not only was Mindu an excellent guide, but he was also a great companion throughout the journey. He took the time to get to know each member of the group personally, fostering a sense of camaraderie and making the trek even more enjoyable. Mindu's friendly and approachable nature made it easy for us to ask questions, share stories, and seek guidance whenever needed. In addition to Mindu, I must also mention the porters provided by Sherpa Expedition. These individuals were not only incredibly strong and capable but also some of the kindest and most hardworking people I have ever met. They carried our heavy backpacks and equipment effortlessly, ensuring that we could focus on enjoying the trek without any unnecessary burdens. The porters' dedication and willingness to go above and beyond their duties were truly commendable. The level of service provided by Sherpa Expedition was exceptional. From the moment we landed in Kathmandu, we were greeted by the team with warm smiles and a seamless transfer to our hotel. Throughout the trek, we were provided with comfortable accommodation and delicious meals that were carefully prepared to meet our dietary requirements. The team's attention to detail and commitment to our comfort and well-being were evident in every aspect of the journey. Moreover, Sherpa Expedition's commitment to responsible tourism was highly commendable. They emphasized the importance of preserving the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the region, ensuring that we left no trace behind. The team educated us on proper waste management and encouraged us to support local businesses, further contributing to the sustainable development of the area. The Everest Base Camp Trek itself was a challenging yet rewarding adventure. The breathtaking views of the snow-capped mountains, the serene beauty of the Himalayan landscapes, and the sense of accomplishment upon reaching Everest Base Camp were truly indescribable. Each day presented a new set of challenges, but with Mindu's guidance and the support of the Sherpa Expedition team, we were able to overcome them and fully immerse ourselves in this once-in-a-lifetime experience. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Everest Base Camp Trek with Sherpa Expedition enough. From the professionalism and expertise of the guide, Mindu Sherpa, to the dedication and hard work of the porters, and the exceptional level of service provided by the entire team, every aspect of this trek exceeded my expectations. If you are looking for an adventure that combines natural beauty, cultural immersion, and a sense of achievement, then look no further than the Everest Base Camp Trek with Sherpa Expedition. It will undoubtedly be an experience that you will cherish for a lifetime.

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.

Everest Base Camp Trek 12 Days

I experienced the greatest adventure of a lifetime with some wonderful people. The whole tour was organized properly. I would like to thank Ram ; trip manager, my guide ; Santa Bhai, exceptionaly sensible and experienced guide who knows his job ; just listen to what he says and your trip will be smooth and successful, Dilli maama; my caring potter. All of them took the best care of me from the start of my trek till the last day. It was my solo trip and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

An Everest View Trek 9 Days

I think it is hard to find good tour guide in Nepal. However, Shailesh and his team are very reliable and had so great tours. At the Kathmandu tour, the tour guide has PhD(his name is Kumar), so he has a lot of deep knowledge of Kathmandu and Nepali-an cultures and religions. At the Himalaya trekking tour, the tour guide(his name is NaWin) knows everything about Nepal. Even other guide in Himalaya asked our guide where the Mt. Everest and other mountains are...(This is the point I realized it is hard to find GOOD tour guide in Nepal) I heard that all members of Shailesh company has grade A+ of guide school. This is why they are reliable. Throughout the tour, they are very friendly and helpful. Even the trouble happened about porter, the guide took a responsibility. I was just impressed their attitudes to their job. I highly recommend Shailesh and his teams tour.

One Week in Nepal

Amazing tour, the hiking was incredible and lots of included activities and meals - overall really good value for money, just very cold in the winter, bring lots of warm clothes!

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trekking

Ghorepani Poon Hill trek with Sherpa Expedition was an unforgettable adventure that exceeded all expectations. Our experienced Sherpa guide and porter were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and accommodating, making the entire journey a true joy. The stunning views along the trek, especially from Poon Hill, were simply breathtaking. The sunrise over the Annapurna range was a sight to behold and a moment that will stay with me forever. Throughout the trek, our Sherpa guide ensured our safety and comfort, providing valuable insights into the local culture and ensuring we had everything we needed. The professionalism and expertise of the Sherpa Expedition team were evident at every step, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty of the Himalayas. I cannot recommend Ghorepani Poon Hill trek with Sherpa Expedition enough. It was a well-organized, seamless experience that left me with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of Nepal. Thank you to our Sherpa guide, porter, and the entire team for making this adventure truly special.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Helicopter Return

Excellent trip to Everest base camp! If you are planning on exploring (the base of) the top of the world -please book with Nepal Trekking Routes. We had a wonderful experience- before we decided to even book our trip the owner answered every question in a timely manner (I asked a lot of questions). We were greeted at the airport and taken directly to our hotel (amazing perk after traveling over 24 hours). Our tour guide Nawin was fantastic, he catered to every request and was an excellent source of information and inspiration (emphasis on inspiration, hiking to EBC was challenging at times). We made it to EBC! Nepal Trekking Routes Really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip- upon our return to Kathmandu they also arranged transportation to the airport and even checked in to make sure we made it back to Miami (excellent customer service). Bottom line we had a magical trip through Himalayas-Nepal trekking routes made it possible!

Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek

Just loved the trek, the scenery, the local people, our guide and our porters.... Pokhara our favourite big town... would recommend “Outfitters Nepal” to all our friends who want to travel and trek in Nepal

Everest Base Camp Trek and Fly back by Helicopter

This is simply incredible trekking with Peregrine Treks. The breathtaking views seem out of this world and you come away awestruck. Everything is looked after and our lead guide Dawa Sherpa was knowledgeable and helpful at every stage. He was always checking to make sure you were doing alright and if people became sick he looked after you. I can't say enough about Dawa and his team of assistant guides and porters if you have the chance to ask him. Accommodation in the Everest Region is simple but best and foods are also hygienic. We were lucky enough to be put in with a great group of mixed ages and countries of origin and and we all became quick friends. If you have been thinking about this trip just lock it in trust me you won't be disappointed with Peregrine Treks and Tours with an experienced and trained guide.

Langtang Valley trek 10 Days

Second time trekking with this group. Excellent food and accommodation options. October seemed the best time to visit Nepal, specially for trekking as the weather is nicer. No delays whatsoever plus you can enjoy nice mountain back-drops from pretty much from anywhere. This visit, i even learned to cook some local dishes if Tea counts as one. I highly recommend Adventure Travels and Treks for anyone who wants to travel Nepal in the Future. Lots of options for Trekking and other activities. you wont be disappointed.

Annapurna Base Camp Trek-10 Days

I did solo Annapurna base camp trek this July with Govinda from Relax Getaway. Trekking during rainy season was different experience. It was little difficult to trek due to heavy rain sometime but i enjoyed it. Thanks Govinda for great trip.

Nepal Trekking Tours & Nepal Hiking Tours Reviews

I have already done the review sent from g adventures - another one is duplication.

My Everest Base Camp trek was nothing short of phenomenal, and a huge part of that credit goes to Alpine Ramble Treks. Here's why they're the perfect partner for your EBC adventure: Expert Guidance: Alpine Ramble Treks's guides weren't just knowledgeable about the terrain; they were passionate about the Himalayas. They pointed out hidden wonders, shared fascinating stories about the region, and ensured our safety throughout the trek. Their experience with altitude management was invaluable, keeping us acclimatized and trekking strong. Top-Notch Support: The porters at Alpine Ramble Treks were absolute rockstars. They carried our gear with a smile, ensuring we could focus on enjoying the trek. Their friendly demeanor and helpfulness made them feel more like companions than just support staff. Unbeatable Service: From the very beginning, Alpine Ramble Treks impressed. Their communication was clear and prompt, answering all my questions patiently. The logistics were flawlessly handled, including permits, transportation, and cozy teahouse stays. They even surprised us with a special treat at Gorakshep! Unforgettable Experience: Alpine Ramble Treks went above and beyond to make the trek a truly unforgettable journey. They catered to our dietary needs with delicious and nutritious meals, even at high altitudes. They also organized a celebratory dinner at Namche Bazaar, which was a fantastic way to bond with fellow trekkers and the Alpine Ramble Treks team. Overall: Choosing Alpine Ramble Treks for my Everest Base Camp trek was the best decision I could have made. They are a professional, passionate, and incredibly supportive company. They turned a challenging trek into a life-changing experience filled with breathtaking scenery, cultural immersion, and personal accomplishment. Highly Recommend: If you're dreaming of conquering Everest Base Camp, look no further than Alpine Ramble Treks. They'll ensure your journey is safe, memorable, and filled with the spirit of adventure.

10 of the best treks in Nepal

Dec 23, 2023 • 7 min read

Follow a trekking route in Nepal for views of the world's highest peaks © Matteo Colombo / Getty Images

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.

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.

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.

It's the combination of awe-inspiring wilderness, vibrant culture and gentle pace that captures the hearts of those who visit, luring people back and confirming Nepal's official tourism slogan: Once is Not Enough.

Visit the Annapurna region on our self sufficient treks through lush foothills, Hindu villages and spectacular mountain scenery; or trek through remote Sherpa villages and alongside iconic peaks as you make your way through the life-changing landscapes of the Everest Region, supported by our cheerful team of cooks and porters.

Stay at our private eco-camps when you tackle the once-in-a-lifetime trek to Everest Base Camp; add on a climb to the top of Kala Pattar or Gokyo Ri for incredible views of Everest; or join one of our challenging mountaineering expeditions to peaks such as Mera Peak, Island Peak or Lobuche with our experienced leaders.

Head east and trek to the base of Kanchenjunga; or cross high passes and remote trails as you traverse the country on the Great Himalayan Trail, arguably the world's most epic trek. Whichever trek you choose, you'll encounter breathtaking landscapes, rich local cultures and generous hospitality in the villages you pass through.

Then tour Kathmandu's religious and cultural treasures; chill out in pretty Pokhara; and head to Chitwan National Park for lush landscapes and exotic wildlife.

Our all inclusive approach

On top of all meals while on trek, highly trained local guides and an experienced trekking and cooking crew, we also provide you with the use of a trek pack, which includes a quality sleeping bag, down or fibre fill jacket and insulated mat (valued at over US$500).

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.

Stay at our exclusive Eco-Comfort Camps

Four decades of feedback and experience has proven that camping provides the most authentic trekking experience. Across the Annapurna and Everest regions you’ll enjoy the extra comfort of our exclusive camps, which feature standing height tents, clean beds with mattresses and pillows, a heated dining room, composting sit down toilets and more. Do yourself and the environment a favour by choosing our minimal impact accommodations.

All meals on trek included

Did you know that meals on a 2 week tea-house based trek in Nepal could cost you in excess of US$800pp?! 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. Tim brings different tangents to exploratory treks with his natural history knowledge and true understanding of the Himalayan culture.

Soren Kruse-Ledet

One of our most experienced leaders; Soren has summitted many Himalayan peaks as well as completed a six month traverse of Nepal, and attempted Everest solo. He has also led many climbs and treks in Nepal, Tibet, China and Bhutan including Cho Oyu. Popular, easy-going and professional, Soren can be found leading various adventures for us in Nepal.

Andrew Lock

Andrew is an inspiring and immensely accomplished adventurer, and a wonderful communicator. In October 2009 he conquered Shishapangma, Tibet, becoming the first Australian to climb all 14 of the world's 8000m peaks - a feat only achieved by a select few worldwide. His achievements include multiple ascents of Everest, Lhotse & Manaslu, five Australian first ascents and establishment of many new routes.

Simon Yates

Simon has been at the forefront of mountaineering for almost two decades with first ascents in the Andes, Himalaya and Karakoram. Best known as Joe Simpson's climbing partner [Touching the Void], he has developed a strong reputation as an engaging expedition leader.

Lhakpa Lama

Based at our desk at the Radisson Hotel, Kathmandu, Lhakpa is always on hand to advise you on the best restaurants, local sightseeing opportunities and to assist with questions on forthcoming treks. Lhakpa has been with World Expeditions for over 20 years. His helpful, cheerful and efficient manner ensures the beginning and end of your Nepal adventure will be smooth, letting you focus on enjoying Kathmandu and preparing for your trek.

'Mr Din' has been the driving force behind the operation and management of our Nepal trekking program for the past two decades. His tireless commitment to trip quality and focus on responsible tourism practices has ensured that World Expeditions remains at the forefront of the Himalayan trekking scene.

Mrs Uma has been with us nearly 20 years and is the driving force behind our Kathmandu office. Coordinating the details of school and private groups and managing our community project works, her skills are as diverse as her knowledge of achieving the best services and prices for our travellers. We are privileged to have such an effective administrator and negotiator on the team, not to mention Uma's delightful manner when liaising with travellers.

Jon has been at the cutting edge of world adventure for 33 years. Jon reached the summit of Everest alone and completed first ascents of extreme new routes in the Himalaya. An accomplished polar explorer, Jon was the first Australian to trek to both poles with Eric Philips. The culmination of Jon's dedication to adventure was his unsupported traverse of Australia in 2001, where he completed the first unsupported walk to the geographic centre of Australia.

Bir is one of our most versatile leaders, escorting our trekking groups along challenging sections of the Great Himalaya Trail, our family treks in the Annapurna region, private special interest groups to Everest Base Camp and our Mera and Island Peak Expeditions. He has also been instrumental in the organisation of our community projects at the Sanjiwani Health Clinic which has seen positive change for this important medical facility in the lower Annapurnas. Bir is a very popular guide with all groups he is involved with.

Sorrel Wilby

Sorrel is best known as a television presenter on Channel Nine's Getaway and the ABC's Painting Australia, brings a vast adventure heritage with her. Her adventures began with a 3000km solo trek across Tibet and a pioneering complete Himalaya traverse with her husband. Sorrel has also made a name for herself as an accomplished travel writer, photographer and illustrator.

Dr Ross Anderson

Dr Anderson lives with his wife in a small town near the Lakes District in the north of England. He is a family doctor and spends much of his spare time travelling as an expedition doctor. He has more than 10 years of altitude and travel medicine experience. Previous treks and expeditions have focused on the Himalayas, with others in the Scandinavian Arctic and mountainous areas of Africa. He also enjoys trail running, cycling and open-water swimming.

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

International Dialing Code

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.

The Himalayas, natural trails, unique culture, traditional and  historic destinations  makes heaven of hikes Nepal, and most importantly the adventure itself entices anyone here to do these trips at least once in their life. If you are planning to be here anytime soon, let us provide you with a brief introduction to the best Treks available in this country.

There are many other Stunning hiking trails in Nepal, and each one offers a unique experience. It’s important to choose a trail that suits your fitness level and interests. Additionally, it is recommended to go through a reputable tour operator to ensure safety and security during your trek.

From the classic trails to the top of the world to the off-the-beaten-track trails our list here gives you comprehensive ideas about what Nepal has in store for travelers. Keep one thing in mind that there are dozens of other regions for hiking trips. However, these entries stand up with their own highlights and unique experience for you to witness.

Table of Contents

  Everest Base Camp  Trek

Our first entry needs a few words of explanation. Everest Base camp trek (EBC) is globally recognized as the pinnacle of hiking trips. It takes you close to Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world. Everest has no shortage of other great trails but this iconic path to the base camp takes our top spot. Similarly, the tea house trekking adventure, side hiking trails, local Sherpas, and more make it a complete trek in itself. EBC is truly a gem of a trek in Nepal.

Highlights of the EBC Hiking Trip

• A scenic trail leading to the Everest Base Camp, the starting point for mountaineers to summit Everest.
• Cultural experiences of the fabled Sherpa people of the Himalayas.
• Relaxed and well-flexible itinerary for different types of travelers.
• Views of magnificent tall mountains including Everest, Makalu, Cho Oyu, and Lhotse peaks.
• A proper teahouse experience with an authentic unique adventure.

 Annapurna Base camp Trek

Alongside Everest BC, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek has been one of the defining trails established in the Himalayas. It takes trekkers to the base of Annapurna Massif at 4130 meters. One of the best factors of the trek is the ease and flexibility.

Annapurna has to offer for visitors regarding the length, trail, and difficulty you select for the trek. Lonely Planet has mentioned Annapurna as one of the reasons for Nepal making in their list for travelers to visit in 2022. If you are looking to hike in Nepal, ABC can be your cup of tea.

Highlights of the ABC Hiking Trip

• Trail popular throughout the world and still classified by many as one of the best in the Himalayas.
• Gurung, Tamang, and other ethnic cultural encounters throughout the moderate trails.
• Ideal for moderate hiking and trekking enthusiasts in the hills and mountains of Nepal.
• Picturesque surroundings and experience the vibrant change in landscape and geography.
• Sublime views of Annapurna Massif and Macchapucchre peaks throughout the trek.

The Langtang Trek

Langtang alongside Everest and Annapurna was considered the golden triangle for hiking trips before 2015. The earthquake of 2015 destroyed some sections of the trek and it was out of the regular trekking destinations for a couple of years. That has changed a lot in recent years as it is steadily growing to its former glory.

Langtang Trek offers some underrated trekking experiences for you to witness. The cultural, natural, and adventure factors held by Langtang makes it is amongst the highly sought- after trips in Nepal.

Highlights of the Langtang Valley  Hiking Trip

• A trail recovering from the 2015 earthquake and still one of the best in the Nepalese Himalayas.
• Tamang and Tibetan cultural experience in the teahouse trek in the mountains.
• Views of snow covered Langtang Lirung, Yala, Changbu, and Naya Kanga peaks from the trail.
• Unique traditional lifestyle and Himalayan hospitality topped with the magnificent Kyanjin Gompa (3800 m).
• Kyanjin Ri (4773 m) and Tsergo Ri (5033 m) day hikes provide challenging yet fruitful experiences.

 Poon Hill Treks

Our fourth-ranked hiking trip can be best defined as the entry-level trek in Nepal often preferred by those with limited time here. Ghorepani Poon Hill Hiking trip is our second entry from Annapurna and it deserves that too. Within the period of a few days, you can explore the cultural, wildlife, geographical, and traditional experiences of the Lower Annapurna region. The cherry on the top is the Poon Hill viewpoint which provides a majestic 360-degree view of the surrounding hills and mountains.

Highlights of the Hiking Trip

• One of the best treks for beginners able to complete within a week.
• A slice of Annapurna to witness with less walking and more exploring options.
• Fantastic views of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri Massifs from the scenic sunrise at Poon Hill.
• One of the best trails to prepare your body and mind for the longer treks of the Himalayas.
• tea house adventure covering the high hills of the Annapurna Conservation Area.

  Manag Valley Treks  ( A Hidden valley Around Annapurna Mountains)

Where to go trekking in nepal.

There are countless options if you want to go trekking in Nepal, from the iconic Everest Base Camp Trek to the scenic Annapurna Circuit. Other extraordinary adventures include the remote Manaslu Circuit Trek, the culturally rich Langtang Valley Trek, and the challenging Three Passes Trek. Each offers unique views, experiences, and challenges.

Why is Nepal great for trekking?

Nepal is a premier trekking destination due to its unparalleled mountain landscapes, iconic trekking routes, and the warm hospitality of the Nepalese people. Home to several of the world’s highest peaks, Nepal offers trekkers well-maintained trails, tea house accommodations, and the ability to walk routes that have enchanted adventurers for decades.

When to trek in Nepal

The best times to trek in Nepal are during the pre-monsoon spring season of March to May and the post-monsoon autumn from September to November. These periods offer clear skies, stable weather, and temperate conditions, ideal for mountain trekking. Winter treks are possible in some lower altitude areas, while the monsoon season is less ideal due to rain and obscured mountain views.

Top 5 treks in Nepal

• Everest Base Camp Trek - This iconic trek takes you to the base of the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, offering breathtaking views of the Himalayas and a deep dive into Sherpa culture. The journey includes challenging climbs and rewarding vistas, especially from Kala Patthar, the best viewpoint for Everest.

• Upper Mustang Trek - Offering a stark desert beauty similar to Tibetan plateaus, this trek is famous for its ancient monasteries, traditional Tibetan villages, and untouched landscapes. It is a great choice for those looking to explore the old Buddhist kingdom of Lo Manthang.

Travel tips for Nepal Hiking Tours

What to pack when trekking in nepal.

When trekking in Nepal, pack layered clothing to accommodate varying altitudes and temperatures, a sturdy pair of trekking boots, a high-quality sleeping bag suitable for cold temperatures, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses for high-altitude sun exposure, and a first aid kit. Also, include a water purification method and energy snacks.

Are luggage transfers available on treks in Nepal?

Luggage transfers are generally not available on most remote treks in Nepal. Trekkers typically carry their own day packs, and hire porters to carry additional gear, especially on longer, more challenging treks like those to Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit.

How long do I need to trek in Nepal?

The duration of treks in Nepal can vary greatly. Short treks like Poon Hill can take 3-5 days, while longer treks like Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit can take anywhere from 12 to 21 days, depending on the route and pace.

Are there family-friendly treks in Nepal?

Yes, there are family-friendly treks in Nepal, such as the Ghorepani Poon Hill trek and the Langtang Valley trek, which are less strenuous and offer beautiful scenery without the need for high altitude acclimatization.

What are the accommodations when trekking in Nepal?

Accommodations on treks in Nepal range from basic teahouses, which offer simple rooms and communal eating spaces, to more developed lodges with private rooms and hot showers, available on more popular routes like those in the Annapurna and Everest regions.

Can I do a self-guided trek in Nepal?

While it is possible to do self-guided treks in Nepal, particularly on the more popular routes like the Annapurna Sanctuary, it is advisable to have at least a porter or guide with you for safety reasons, especially in remote areas or during off-season when trails are less populated.

Can I do a guided trek in Nepal?

Guided treks are highly recommended in Nepal, especially for less experienced trekkers or those attempting more challenging or remote routes. Guides can provide valuable insights into local culture, handle logistics, and enhance safety.

What is the best season for trekking in Nepal?

The best seasons for trekking in Nepal are pre-monsoon (late March to May) and post-monsoon (late September to November) when the weather is clear and dry, providing the best views of the mountains.

What permits are required for trekking in Nepal?

Most treks in Nepal require a TIMS (Trekker’s Information Management System) card and permits for specific regions like the Annapurna Conservation Area or Everest National Park, which can be arranged through trekking agencies or at the Nepal Tourism Board.

How should I prepare physically for a trek in Nepal?

Preparing for a trek in Nepal should include cardiovascular training (such as hiking, cycling, or running), strength training (especially legs and core), and ideally some hiking at altitude to familiarize your body with high-altitude conditions.

What are the risks of trekking in Nepal?

The primary risks include altitude sickness, which can be mitigated by proper acclimatization, as well as potential injuries from falls or strains. Weather-related risks also exist, particularly during the monsoon and winter seasons.

Is travel insurance necessary for trekking in Nepal?

Yes, travel insurance is highly recommended for trekking in Nepal, and should cover high-altitude trekking and emergency medical evacuation, as healthcare facilities in remote areas are limited and evacuations may need to be conducted by helicopter.

“The abode of snow”

The Himalayas (literally “abode of snow” in Sanskrit) are sacred to three of the world’s major religions – four if you include mountaineering as a faith. These snow-capped mountains have pulled explorers under their spell for centuries, promising an ever-changing landscape of remote villages, thick alpine forests, and rushing rivers set against the otherworldly backdrop of peaks that scrape the belly of heaven itself. Prepare to be astounded.

Nepal Trekking FAQ

Which route is for me.

Trekking in Nepal is a challenge, but a wholly rewarding one. Figuring out which route is better suited to your climbing style is important. The Everest routes offer a greater physical challenge and start higher up in the mountains, while the Annapurna routes give you a better sense of what it’s like to live in the shadows of these mighty peaks. Our advice: Do them both!

Will the altitude affect us?

Most likely. The air in the Himalayas contains less breathable oxygen than what you’re used to at sea level. Everyone will experience the thinner high-altitude air a little differently – and some more than others – slow and steady is always the best way to go. The more time you give yourself to acclimatize, the better you’ll feel and the easier your day’s trekking will be.

What will we eat?

You’ll need energy to make it to the top, and our cooks will make certain you’ve got a steady supply of healthy, quality hiking fuel. Our team of porters carries all the necessary supplies, including fresh produce. Meals are a mix of local and international cuisine, and while special requests and dietary restrictions can almost always be accommodated, it’s a good idea to let us know in advance.

Where will we sleep?

We stay in tea houses on all of our Nepal treks. Tea house accommodation varies depending on the setting and the altitude, and no two establishments are alike. A tea house is a traditional Nepali institution that combines a guesthouse and a restaurant, and can vary from offering private rooms to dormitory-style lodging. Washing facilities can also vary widely from place to place.

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.

NEPAL GUIDED HIKING TOURS

Nepal has become synonymous with trekking over the last few decades and the mountain-bound country deserves all the praise it can get. nepal is studded with glittering summits that are the highest in the entire world, complemented by the world’s deepest valley’s such as the kali gandaki river, and the bustling mountain city of kathmandu exploring nepal is a truly enchanting experience. visitors to kathmandu will be treated to government-sponsored tours of cultural touchstones for the nepali people which makes sure that every visitor to nepal not only explores the country’s magnificent wilderness but also gets to enjoy the region’s unique cultural history..

Ryder-Walker explores Nepal in the Kingdom of Mustang on our The Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang Trek . The Kingdom of Mustang is an isolated kingdom that was historically closed to visitors for centuries, which influenced the name “forbidden kingdom.” While modernity and tourism are approaching the forbidden kingdom along with the construction of mountain roads through areas that were previously unreachable except by foot, today visiting the Kingdom of Mustang is a trip back into history complete with an almost pristine mountain culture that has evolved entirely outside the influence of foreign nations. Highlights of the tour include cultural tours of Kathmandu, striking views of the legendary Anapurna range, and a couple of nights in the walled city of Lo Manthang, the kingdoms ancient capital which to this day is still best approached on foot.

Nepali culture borrows much from its Himalayan neighbors, with its own unique Nepali flair. Traveling through Nepal involves traveling with Sherpas, visiting ultra-remote villages , and camping in gorgeous and well-appointed mountain camps. The Kingdom of Mustang itself borrows from both Nepali and Tibetan culture while holding its own isolated history due to the nation’s history of entirely closed borders. The capital of Lo Manthang is a trip directly backward into history, where the ancient city walls , winding pedestrian streets , and open-air markets remind us of the world that predated the industrial revolution. Nepali prayer flags fly from the roofs of the stone buildings and locals tell stories of the old Mustang Monarchy that was only dissolved in 2008!

The Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang Trek, like Ryder-Walker’s other Himalayan Treks, is an immersive two-week experience that plunges you deep into the heart of the Himalayas . This engagement with the mountains and the Tibetan culture is physically, spiritually, and culturally rewarding, revealing an entire world that cannot be experienced in any other way. Views of the Dhaulagiri are a striking experience in scale, as we get to view the world’s seventh highest peak from the floor of the deepest valley in the world. Other highlights include remote monasteries and ancient cave frescos that are tucked into hidden mountain caves !

Guided Tours: Nepal

The Forbidden Kingdom of Mustang - Guided

Mustang, an isolated kingdom in Nepal, forbidden to outsiders for centuries, faces a crossroads. The recent completion of a motorable road along the historic caravan route threatens to change this remarkable area, for good and bad, but also forever. Now is your chance to step back in time and follow the ancient caravan route through summer nomad camps and isolated villages to the last intact walled ...

Greetings, Mr. Tilak,

I’ve safely returned home, and my children were delighted to see me.

My journey through Tibet and Nepal was extraordinary, especially the Everest Trek. I cherish the memories with my friends and the wonderful people I encountered.

I plan to return, possibly for the Annapurna trek or Mera Peak, and I hope to collaborate with your company again.

Once I’ve sorted my photos, I’ll share some with you.

Best regards,

We had a great trip to Upper Mustang thanks to our skilled guides. Riding the horses really helped. Despite tough conditions, Dil and the team made us tasty meals and snacks. Our helpers and porters were always kind and thoughtful. We had an amazing time. Thanks!

Thanks for setting up the awesome Annapurna trek to Muktinath. Big thanks to Hari, our guide, and Yam and Krishna for carrying our stuff. It’s been 27 years since my first visit to Nepal, but I’ll be back sooner next time. The trip was amazing and the people in Nepal are super kind. Can’t wait to do it again soon.

Take care and all the best!

Out of the world experience.

I had a really beautiful experience of Nepal on this trek. There were lots of steps along the way of this trek but the whole experience was really out of the world. The awesome panoramic views that the destination provided me left me speechless and I was really impressed by…

Jada Flitzgerald

Delightful short trek to namche.

Thank You Escape Himalaya for arranging me a beautiful trekking journey in the Everest region. I did the Short Everest Trek with Escape Himalaya this past March and it was one of the best short treks in the Everest region. There was not much elevation gain, except trekking to Namche…

Estelle Reeves

A breath-taking trip in the mountains with rajendra.

Everest Base Camp Trek with Rajendra during the early days of March of last year probably amounts to be one of the most breath-taking trips of my life. Being there with my family- my two sons and my wife, we were reassured that the trekking journey would be relatively easy…

Dorothy Sacks

A joy ride at everest.

The Everest Base Camp Heli Trek was a perfect package for me as it coincided so well with my short schedule at Nepal that I could not stop myself. My correspondence with Escape Himalaya at the very beginning of the trek also helped me greatly in going ahead with it.…
