Planning a visit to Nepal
These are the questions every Nepal trip turns on. The planner answers them for your dates, your fitness and the places you want to see.
When to visit Nepal
Autumn (October to November) brings the clearest mountain views and the busiest trails. Spring (March to May) is warmer, with rhododendrons in bloom on the hills. The monsoon runs from June to September: lush and quiet, but with cloud, rain and leeches on lower trails.
Where to go
Most trips combine the temples and old squares of the Kathmandu Valley with one or two regions: Pokhara and the Annapurnas, the Everest region, Langtang, the jungle of Chitwan National Park, or Lumbini, birthplace of the Buddha.
Altitude and rest days
Above about 3,000 metres, trekkers are advised to climb slowly and take a rest day every few days so the body can adjust. Skipping them is the most common reason people turn back. Every high-altitude plan we build includes them.
Permits and paperwork
Most visitors need a visa, and trekking regions need park or conservation-area permits. Rules on permits, guides and insurance have changed several times in recent years, so the planner tells you what applies to your route when you plan it.
Getting around
Distances look short on a map and take a long time on the road. Mountain flights, such as Kathmandu to Lukla, can be delayed by weather, so a good itinerary leaves spare days at the end.
How long to stay
A week covers Kathmandu, Pokhara and a short trek. Two to three weeks makes room for Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit, with time on either side to recover.
