Trekking in Nepal is a journey through the lowlands up to the mountain valleys in the Himalayas. The thrilling journey through the Himalayas can last from a few days up to some months in length through villages, valleys, mountains, lakes, and hills. Nepal is well-known for its treks in the midst of the Mountains since 1960. Colonel Jimmy Robert organized the first commercial trek. The trek is by far the most sought-after sport in Nepal. Certain trekkers go for long treks while others are looking for shorter days of leisurely hiking through the hills.
The two most well-known trekking areas / Nepal trekking regions are Everest and Annapurna which have numerous trails can be walked, while most popular treks are found within the Langtang and Kanchenjunga regions. The most challenging of them all is one of the Great Himalayan Trails, an extensive trail system that runs through Nepal starting from Humla as well as Darchula to the west until Kanchenjunga towards the eastern part of the country. The range of trails in Nepal is unlike any other region in the world. Actually, the most low point of Nepal is 59m above sea level within the Tarai region. The most awe-inspiring point is Everest 8,848 meters above sea level. These two points are just 200 km apart when the crows fly.

The airport is the one in Kathmandu that trekkers have to obtain permits and other documents, or from a trekking agency or the relevant offices. These documents will be scrutinized on the way to the trail. For those who have little time to spare there are half-day treks starting from Kathmandu to see stunning Himalayan views. The trekking in Nepal is a completely different experience than it was in the 1960s. In all of the major areas of trekking, National Parks and Conservation Areas lodges have been set up in which trekkers can stay and food, as well as meet other trekkers and other locals along the route.

A number of days of trek is necessary to reach the mountain regions higher than the villages of the administration and population.
Nepal contains six distinct varied vegetation zones that span from Tropical under a 1,000m through Sub-tropical 100m-200m Lower Temperate 1,700m between 2,700 and 2,400 m, Upper Temperate 2400 m to 3,300 m, Sub-alpine 3,300 m to 4,0 m, and Alpine 4,400 m up to the snowline. Above the snowline, it’s Himalaya Tundra, a wilderness like the Himalaya. The higher elevations are the habitat of the rare Snow leopard, Himalayan Thar, Musk deer and other uncommon species. The most well-known Nepal Trekking regions of Kanchenjunga, Everest, Manaslu & Annapurna can provide accommodation in lodges, lesser-frequented treks in these regions and in the other regions to the west of Annapurna generally require support from a camping type.

However, some of the routes along the Great Himalaya Trails sit under the shade of the rain. Which is a dry region on the leeward slope of a mountain? These include Mustang northern part of Annapurna and Manaslu, Dolpo to the north of Dhaulagiri and the westernmost region of Nepal towards northern Saipal Himal. After monsoon, the weather is generally clearer. Delivering medicines in this region can be costly and difficult, so it is recommended to purchase medicines at a low cost ahead of time. The winter months are good but it can be colder and shorter days. Spring can affect the region with seasonal rains as well as snowstorms. The summer is brief and quickly followed by monsoons. The treks during monsoons usually take place located in deserted Manang and Mustang areas.
The rains do not come in all day long and they can bring beautiful blooms to life. It’s also the ideal moment to think about some of the areas that are in the shadow of rain, which usually have more stark Tibetan kind of landscape in contrast to the lush greenery on the other sides. It is essential for travelers to be aware that the primary source of income for people living in the hills is tourism. They generally earn money as guides or trekking guides.

In some places there’s no availability of tea house , therefore you have to camp to trek as in Manaslu region. For the time being, we are required to camp for the trek. In other places, have teahouses accessible for accommodation and food.
In Nepal, teahouse trekking is most popular. Most popular trekking spots are connected to teahouses along the trails. As we have teahouses in the path towards the Everest Base Camp trek which is the most well-known trek around the globe. Lodges and hotels provide lodging, while teahouses provide accommodation and food. The idea of a teahouse trek is that you’ll get food and accommodation at the same spot while you trek.

Namche Bazaar in Everest Nepal Trekking Season generally known best as two seasons that follow falls and following the winter. The month that follows is mid September through mid December Consider to be the Best time to trek in the Himalayas. The months that fall during this time are pleasant weather conditions, that is not too cold or hot and the mountain’s view is unobstructed.

March April, May and March are autumn in the trek season in Nepal
The June, July and August are the main rainy seasons in Nepal and are characterized by monsoons and frequent rains that make trek conditions unfavorable.This season is the best time to go Trekking and tours to Tibet but in certain Trekking zones of Nepal that connect to Tibet and the desert regions of Nepal such as Mustang the Nar-Phu valley, Dolpo regions . These are the best time to go on treks, which are an ideal option for summer treks to trek in the rain shadow of the Himalayas region.
March to May in Spring & September to mid December are the best time for trekking in Nepal. We’ve selected the most appropriate month for our fixed-date departures. Based on our experience of running these trips through the many years. We’ve written an article on our blog, What is the ideal time to trek to Nepal Himalaya? and this will aid you in deciding the ideal moment to travel.
Based on the data of trekkers visited Nepal. The most popular season for trekking in Nepal is in the autumn which saw 69,199 trekking. Then comes the spring time season which has 60,270 trekkers. The winter months are the most quiet with only 20,543 trekkers during the months of December through February.
The busiest month during the spring period is the month of April. But both the months of November and October during the autumn season attract more trekkers than April.
Deciding on the most suitable time for your trip is based on the location, altitude and the difficulty. Some, like Upper Dolpo to Jomsom GHT can only be done during May and June. The snowfalls of winter stop the passages until the beginning of summer. The ideal time for Makalu up to Everest GHT is during the spring season between the months of April and May. We do not organize this trek in the autumn season because it’s too cold and has the possibility of having obstructions by snow.
One of our top suggestions is to think about a hike in December, during December, which is Winter season. It’s impossible to trek in certain places since it’s too cold. It is however the ideal time to go hiking to areas such as Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp. In December it is typically bright and sunny, with a high-pressure weather system that is settling across the Himalayas.
We don’t recommend hiking in the monsoon time. In August and July it is a time of heavy rain that could cause landslides as well as rockfalls. It’s a painful experience to be soaked on the majority of days, and to have just cloudy skies with no mountain views.
The best trekking routes in Nepal can be a complete bucket list of incredible destinations, but you must reduce your expectations, not in terms of the breathtaking landscapes you’ll see and explore, but of the length of time it will take to reach them. The nation’s best trekking routes are arranged along an east-west line through the northern region of Nepal’s Himalayan belt butin Nepal it’s roads in poor condition and are slow and being two hours late is considered to be on time. You’ll require a sturdy trekking boot, lots of perseverance and the conviction that conquering any trekking route you’d like to take in Nepal is longer than one trip.
Mount Everest, (8,848m) the highest peak on Earth has a magnetic pull on mountaineers, trekkers and adventurers in armchairs too. The most popular trekking trails within Mount Everest can be busy and over-commercialized, however for sheer awe , nothing can compare to the trails that wind through Khumbu region around Everest.
