What to expect in Nepal

  • Mountains in every direction

    On a clear morning you'll see several of the world's highest peaks from the trail. Sunrise from a ridge, with the summits turning pink, is the moment most trekkers never forget.

  • Teahouse life

    On most treks you sleep in family-run teahouses: simple rooms, a warm dining room with a stove, dal bhat for dinner and stories with other trekkers. Comfort is basic, the welcome is not.

  • A slow climb on purpose

    Itineraries include acclimatisation stops to let your body adapt to altitude. Walking slowly and drinking plenty of water is the secret to reaching the top feeling good.

  • Culture between the summits

    Kathmandu's squares, prayer flags on every pass and Buddhist monasteries add depth to the walking. Expect to spin prayer wheels and share tea with monks.

Your Nepal tour questions, answered

When is the best time to trek in Nepal?

October and November offer the clearest skies and stable weather; March to May is the second best season, with spring flowers. The monsoon from June to September brings rain, clouds and leeches on many trails.

Do I need a visa for Nepal?

Most travelers can get a tourist visa on arrival at Kathmandu airport or apply in advance, with fees depending on the length of stay. Check the Nepal Department of Immigration website for current fees and requirements.

Do I need trekking permits or a guide?

National parks and conservation areas require permits, and regulations for independent trekking have been tightened in recent years. On a guided tour the operator organises permits and a licensed guide for you.

How do I avoid altitude sickness?

Ascend gradually, take the acclimatisation days seriously, drink plenty of water and tell your guide about headaches or nausea early. Talk to your doctor before the trip about medication.

How fit do I need to be for a Nepal trek?

Moderate fitness is enough for lower and mid-altitude treks: you'll walk five to seven hours a day on steep paths. Training with long hikes and stairs beforehand makes a big difference.
