This autumn the news has been about floods, and it was right to report them. But one valley is not a country. Pokhara, Kathmandu, Chitwan, the Everest region and the Annapurna trails are open, and the season is under way.
Every person who comes keeps a guide, a porter, a jeep driver and a teahouse family working through the winter. So from all of us in Pokhara: dhanyabad. It means thank you, and we mean it.
Six regions, six very different trips. The facts below are the ones that decide which one is yours.
Sherpa villages, Namche Bazaar and the highest mountains on Earth. Most treks start with a flight to Lukla.

Thorong La, 5,416 mOct–Nov, Mar–May39 trips · from $130
Plan an Annapurna trek

Larkya La, 5,106 mOct–Nov, Mar–May4 trips · from $2,100
Plan a Manaslu trek
High desert behind the Himalaya. It sits in the rain shadow, so it is one of the few treks that works in the monsoon.

Nepal’s largest lake, in the far west. Long journeys in, very few visitors once you are there.

Before you ask
The five things people actually worry about before booking a trek in Nepal — answered plainly, not in a footer FAQ.
Every trek is led by an NMA-certified guide trained in wilderness first aid. We carry oxygen and a pulse oximeter on all high-altitude routes, build in proper acclimatisation days, and turn people around when the mountain says so. In 28 years and more than 5,000 treks we have never lost a client.
Zero fatalities since 1998

Why Nepal
Nowhere else on Earth do you climb from steaming jungle, past rhino and tiger, through terraced rice and rhododendron forest, into the thin blue air beneath the highest mountains on the planet — all in a single, walkable country.
Nepal isn't a stop on a bigger trip. It's the trip. We've spent 28 years showing travellers exactly why.
A country of superlatives

A perfect 5.0 on TripAdvisor across hundreds of Himalayan treks — here’s one of them.
“I'm 58 and had never trekked above 2,500m before this trip. Guide Tshering set a pace I could manage without it ever feeling patronizing — we just walked at the speed the mountain required. Standing at 4,130m on the final morning, Annapurna I directly above me, I realized I had been underestimating myself for years.”
“On day four at Deurali, a snowstorm closed in and our guide Mingma made the call to stay put rather than push to MBC. He was right. We woke to clear skies at 4am, hiked to base camp in perfect conditions, and had the sanctuary almost entirely to ourselves. His judgment at altitude is something I trusted completely by that point.”
“We almost booked a paragliding flight instead. I'm glad we didn't. The ridge walk took four hours and our guide Sunil stopped at every viewpoint without us having to ask. Pokhara and Phewa Lake from above, the full Annapurna range to the north — my husband said it was the best morning of our two-week Nepal trip. He was right.”
