Nepal
is home to eight of
the world's ten highest
mountains, Nepal's mountainous
and hilly regions offer
some of the most spectacular
trekking sites in the
world. The immense contrasts
in altitude and climate
found in the different
parts of the country
support an equally spectacular
mix of life styles,
vegetation types and
wildlife. Nepal offers
excellent trekking options
to visitors from the
easy walking excursions
to the strenuous climb
of the snowy peaks.
The most rewarding way
to experience Nepal's
natural embellishment
and cultural assortment
is to walk through the
length, breadth and
the altitudes of the
country. Trekking in
Nepal is a big part
of the ultimate Himalayan
adventure and a majority
of tourists have trekking
as a part of their itinerary.

| Equipments
and Clothing |
| |
Equipment
needed depends largely upon where, when
and how one is trekking. The main emphasis
while trekking is on keeping warm and dry
while still being lightweight. For lower
altitude, fleece jackets and pants are adequate,
while at higher altitudes down jackets are
advisable. Waterproof, wind-proof jackets
and pants, well broken in footwear, head
covering are also recommended. Good sleeping
bags, sunglasses, drinking water, daybag,
trekking bag, warm shocks, gloves, first
aid kit and a very good route map are other
items necessary. Cameras on the other hand
are handy for taking home memories.

| Season
For Trekking |
| |
Trekking
is possible at any time of the year
depending on where you are going. The
most popular seasons are Autumn and
Spring.
Autumn:
Sep-Nov
October and November are really Nepal's
highest months - offering excellent
weather and tantalizing mountain views.
Winter:
Dec-Feb
This season is noted for occasional
snowfall only at higher elevations.
Mountain passes may be snowbound, hence
it is ideal for trekking at lower elevations,
generally below 3000 meters.
Spring:
Mar-May
Different varieties of wild flowers,
specially the rhododendrons, make the
hillside above 5000 meters a haunting
paradise during this season. It is mildly
warm at lower elevations and at higher
elevation over 4000 meters the mountain
views are excellent and temperature
is quite moderate.
Summer:
Jun-Aug
Summer months really continue up to
mid-September making travel wet and
warm. These times are blessed for the
keen botanist as the higher valleys
and meadows blossom with flowers and
lush vegetation. Insect repellent is
a nice addition to your What to Bring
list. During this season, you can trek
in the rain-shadow (places are out of
reach of the rain clouds because of
the high mountains) areas north of the
Himalaya like Mustang and Dolpo. |
