Planning your first Himalayan trek?
Do I need a guide to trek in Nepal?
Rules differ by region. Some restricted areas such as Manaslu and Upper Mustang require a licensed guide and special permits, while routes like Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp can be trekked independently. Always check current regulations before you go.
What is the best season for trekking in Nepal?
The two main trekking seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (October–November), when skies are clearest and temperatures are stable. Winter treks at lower elevations and monsoon rain-shadow routes like Upper Mustang are the exceptions.
