Trekking Guidelines

Trek Permit: Anyone wishing to trek on the remote & previously restricted areas is required to receive the trekking permit from the Nepal Government.

Trekking Season: Autumn (Sept-Nov): Festive Season, Trek Anywhere in Nepal

Winter (Dec-Feb): Occasional snowfalls at higher altitudes. Trek below 3,000 meters.

Trek Types: Most of the trekking in Nepal are conducted in two modes: 1. Lodge Treks/ or Tea House Treks 2. Camp Treks

Trekking Grades: The Everest Region & The Restricted Areas: As the regions lies on a high altitude, all treks in these reasons are of medium & hard grades, or the medium-hard combination.

Annapurna Region: All treks on this region are of easy & moderate grade. The Annapurna Circuit (Around Annapurna) falls in the hard grade.

Langtang & Helambu Region: Ganja La is hard, Gosainkunda medium-hard, others easy-medium.

Fitness & Preparations: Trekking in Nepal mountains requires a certain level of physical fitness and stamina. Hiking up, going down or even walking for a long time becomes strenuous for someone who’s used to sedentary western lifestyle. The heart, lungs, leg & abdomen muscles, as well as the knee & ankle joints work very hard during a trek trip. Your GP would advise you to go through some basic examinations before involving in any vigorous exercise.

Altitude Sickness & Acclimatization: Every rise you make in the high mountain trails to gain a new exciting perspective also requires you to make friends with the nature. Medically, for trekkers, making friendship with nature means acclimatizing your body to high altitudes
