Best Season to Trek in Nepal:

Autumn (September - November) and spring (March - May) is the best season for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate in these seasons which offer beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring grants you beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals. Walking is favorable during these seasons. Summer (June - August) and winter (December - February). Though summer has heavy monsoon rainfall, it is very much clearer to trek around Upper Mustang Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek and Nar Phu Valley Trek since they are rain shadow area Everest Base Camp Trek, Langtang Valley Trek , Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Rara Lake Trek, Kanchenjunga Trek, Dhaulagiri Circuit Trek, Manaslu Circuit Trek as well as Pikey peak Trek are always better to trek in winter season.

Experience & Fitness:

Trekking can be challenging and exhausting. So you might need some fitness training and experience for some tough trial. Nepal Trekking in Everest Base Camp does not require past experience or extreme fitness even though we have more challenging routes in different region compared to that of Everest. Trekking in Himalayas always takes us to challenging altitudes and rocky routes. You could ask for proper rest time and acclimatization to sustain your strength. Mountains can never be achieved in a day. We always provide the detail in our itinerary. However certain training like running, skipping and other workouts will definitely be beneficial in such challenging routes.

Altitude sickness is a major risk when trekking. You might experience it on any trails above 2,500 m however; good health, proper care and drinking plenty of water will definitely help you to prevent from altitude sickness. Every trekkers needs to be familiar with the heights and altitude so, for this we have life saving appropriate acclimatization days during the trek, We also provide certain medical support for your relief and emergency rescue through helicopter whenever the situation gets worse.

Te ayudan en todo!

Estuvimos en Agosto 2018 con esta agencia, hicimos todo por internet a través de Nadin (mánager). Lo principal fue la organización de los 8 dias en el Tibet, pero antes de ir al Tibet y como tenia que hacernos el Visado nos quedamos por Nepal unos dias. De un dia para otro nos organizo todo! El chofer para las visitas por la ciudad y también billetes de avión internos de un día para otro para ir a Pokhara + un trecking de 3 días por el anapurna, la verdad que muy bien. Referente al guía del trecking todo un crack (el mejor guia Niraj Adhikari, atento y cuidadoso con nosotros en todo momento) . El viaje al Tibet vuelo a Lhasa y luego vuelta en coche a katmandu. El viaje al Tibet espectacular y el guia tambien muy bueno(conocimientos budistas TOP, joven y divertido(nombre del guia:Losom)! Lo único que recomendaría es no volver en coche porque la carretera de la frontera esta muy mal y para hacer 80km tardamos 10 horas (volver en avión si se puede), también mejorar la selección de hoteles. Siempre estuvimos en contacto con Nadin de la agencia y sin duda es una empresa donde puedes confiar, nosotros dudamos al ser la primera vez que cogíamos todo por internet y al final un éxito, nos fue genial. Totalmente recomendable! Espero que os ayude!
