While trekking you will see the great diversity of Nepal. Villages embrace many ethnic groups and cultures. The terrain changes from tropical jungle to high-glaciated peaks in only 150 km. You will experience unbeatable panoramic views of mountains, a diversity of landscape, flora and fauna, colorful cultures, friendly people and long gone ancient history. Trekkers leave Nepal with grand tales to share with their family and friends.

When to Trek ?

It is possible to trek all year around in Nepal depending on where you go. Spring and autumn (February through May and September through November) are the most popular trekking seasons with clear skies and warm days. Winter (December through January) can be very cold at high altitudes and mountain passes are snowbound. Trekking at low altitudes is possible during this time of the year. Monsoon (June through August) brings humid heat and heavy rain making the trails slippery. However, trekking regions like Mustang and Dolpo are unaffected by the monsoon because they lie north of the Himalayan where the rain clouds do not reach. But, the excitement varies in all season. For instance, winter season is good for viewing beautiful mountain-view, summer is food for greenery, floods and waterfalls and autumn is good for watching feast and festivals of various tribes etc.
