When to Travel?
The Nepal Himalaya is governed by the Southerly
Monsoon which brings heavy precipitation between
the months of June and September, i.e. it rains
a lot. There are great treks available in the
rain shadow during these months but if you are
planning a more popular trek it is best to avoid
the monsoon months. Autumn through to Spring is
the best time to fully experience Nepal.
Is trekking for me?
If you are reasonably fit and enjoy walking you
will find a trek in the brochure to suit you.
Normally the shorter treks tend to be easier whilst
the longer ones often require a better standard
of fitness. All treks in the brochure have been
graded. It is also worth remembering if we are
tailoring your tour, you can choose the pace and
direction of your experience.
Where to stay on trek?
In the more popular trails (Annapurna Everest
and Langtang) there are well-established Mountain
lodges providing sleeping accommodation and meals.
Gone are the days when trekkers had to share dormitories,
almost all lodges nowadays provide private rooms
and many also have solar showers and clean toilet
facilities. You can of course opt for a camping
trek in these regions but as many campsites are
connected to lodges it is debatable whether there
is real benefit being under canvas.
Trekking in more remote areas necessitates transporting
in all the needs for the group tents food etc.
Food is prepared by our cook team and drinking
water is adequately treated.
