Yes, most trekking routes in Nepal require permits. The most common permits include the TIMS (Trekking Information Management System) card and national park or conservation area permits. Some restricted areas, such as Upper Mustang and Manaslu, require special permits. We handle all necessary permit arrangements for your trek.
The best seasons for trekking in Nepal are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is clear, and the views are stunning. Winter treks (December to February) are possible in lower regions, while monsoon treks (June to August) are suitable for areas like Upper Mustang and Dolpo.
No prior trekking experience is required for most beginner-friendly treks like Ghorepani Poon Hill and Langtang Valley. However, high-altitude treks such as Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit require good physical fitness. If you are attempting peak climbing or challenging treks, previous trekking experience and physical preparation are recommended.
Most trekking routes offer teahouse lodges, which provide basic accommodation with shared rooms, beds, and meals. In remote areas, facilities may be more basic. For luxury treks, we arrange upgraded lodges with better facilities. Camping treks are also available in off-the-beaten-path regions.
Essential trekking gear includes warm clothing, a sleeping bag, trekking boots, gloves, sunglasses, a backpack, a water bottle, and personal medical supplies. The packing list varies depending on the trek, altitude, and season. We provide a detailed packing guide for each trekking route.
Trek difficulty depends on the route and altitude. Easy treks like Poon Hill require moderate walking, while moderate treks like Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Circuit involve long walking hours at high altitudes. More challenging routes, such as Manaslu Circuit or peak climbing expeditions, require endurance and physical fitness.
Altitude sickness can be a risk above 2,500 meters. We follow proper acclimatization schedules, suggest slow ascents, and provide necessary guidance to prevent altitude sickness. Our guides are trained to recognize symptoms and take immediate action if needed.
Teahouses serve a variety of meals, including Nepali dal bhat (rice and lentils), noodles, soups, momos, porridge, pancakes, eggs, and other vegetarian options. In higher altitudes, food variety may be limited. We ensure hygienic meals that provide the necessary energy for trekking.
We accept cash, bank transfers, and online payments. A deposit is required to confirm your booking, and the remaining balance can be paid before the trek begins.
