There are two major factors to weigh as you
decide when to go to Nepal: crowds and weather.
As a general rule, the better the weather, the
more people come to Nepal to go trekking.
During autumn the nights are cold in the
mountains, but the bright sun makes for pleasant
day temperatures - in the high 20s° C, falling
to 5° C at night, between 1000 meters and 3500
meters. At higher altitudes temperatures range
from about 20° C down to -10° C. Mornings are
usually clear with clouds building up during the
afternoon, disappearing at night to reveal
spectacular starry skies. During winter it is
about 10 degrees colder.
Early December usually has a lull, but this is
also a good trekking season. The Christmas
period is cold, but this is the holiday season
in Japan and Australia. High passes, especially
Throng La on the Around Annapurna trek and
Laurabina Pass on the Gosainkund trek are
usually closed from late November to March.
February is still cold, though less so as the
spring trekking season of March and April
approaches.
What is trekking?
Though, we have different activities, trekking
is the ultimate way of enjoying the scenic
magnificence and knowing people with great
cultural heritage in Nepal. You will see the
great diversity of Nepal during your trekking.
The vast landscape of this country has been
studded with mighty Himalayas, mysterious
monasteries and temples, ancient cities, various
endangered species and highly fascinating flora
and fauna, which offer you the most spectacular
trekking and touring in this part of world.
Trekking allows you to walk through villages,
which are yet to be influenced by the 21st
century. You can either choose the virgin tracks
or the beaten trails to reach the lofty
Himalayas, "the Stairs of Heaven." For our
customers' amusement and adventure, we do offer
the treks to many regions depending upon their
time and interest. Some people have
misconception that during the trekking they have
to climb. But trekking does not mean mountain
climbing, trekking always refers to walking on
trails.
You can always take plenty of time during the
trekking to cover distance. We allow ample time
for photo stops and for answering individual
questions. If you have a good physical
condition, a trek should prove no difficulty.
Previous experience in hiking and living
outdoors is, however, helpful. Mountaineering
experience is not necessary, but you must enjoy
walking.
Trekking in Nepal will take you through a
country that has captured the imagination of
mountaineers and explorers for more than 100
years. You will meet people in remote mountain
villages whose lifestyle has not changed in
generations.

Preparing for a Trek:
The following information
will assist you to get ready for a trek in
Nepal. Nepal treks allow you to experience the
Himalayan countryside and to meet the people of
the hills with a minimum of formality and
preparation. If you follow the suggestions here,
you will have ideas of equipment, visa and
physical condition that you need to enjoy your
trek. Read this information carefully so that
you will know what to expect when you arrive in
Nepal.
There are many preparations that you can make
before you depart for Nepal. Most important are
your passport and a visa for Nepal, your
clothing and trekking equipment, medical
supplies. While some of these projects can be
postponed until the last minute (by getting a
visa at the airport in Kathmandu or renting your
trekking equipment in Nepal, it is recommended
that you make most preparations in advance so
that you do not waste time during your holiday.
Climate:
Nepal has four distinct seasons. Spring, from
March to May, is warm and dusty with rain
showers at the end of May. Summer, from June to
August, is the monsoon season when the hills
turn lush and green. Autumn, from September to
November, is cool with clear skies, and is the
most popular trekking season. In winter, from
December to February, it is cold at night and
can be foggy in the early morning, but
afternoons are usually clear and pleasant,
though there is occasional snow in the
mountains. Nepal is quite far south (at the same
latitude as Miami and Cairo) the weather is
warmer and winter is much milder at lower
elevations, including Kathmandu at 1400 meters.
It rarely snows below 2000 metres.
The monsoon in the Bay of Bengal governs the
weather pattern. The monsoon creates a rainy
season from the middle of June to the middle of
September. It is hot during the monsoon and it
rains, but it is a considerate rain, limiting
itself mostly to the night. It usually does not
rain for more than one or two days during the
entire autumn season from mid-October to
mid-December. During winter and spring there may
be a week or so of rainy evenings and occasional
thunderstorms blanket the hills with snow. The
Himalaya makes its own localised weather, which
varies significantly over a distance of a few
km.
In Kathmandu, spring and autumn days are
comfortable and the evenings are cool, usually
requiring a light jacket or pullover. Winter in
Kathmandu brings cold foggy mornings and clear
evenings, but pleasant day temperatures with
brilliant sunshine most days after the morning
fog has lifted. It never snows in Kathmandu,
though there is frost on cold nights in January
and February. The hottest month is May, just
before the rains start. |
