Although treks in Nepal can be
organized throughout the year, October through May is considered good for
trekking. The monsoon begins in mid-June and ends around mid-September making
travel wet and warm. The mountain views may not be at their best as rain clouds
and haze obscure the enchanting views. It's a great time for botanists, however
as the higher valleys and meadows come alive with blossoming flowers and lush
vegetation. Monsoons don't mean rain all the time. Besides, some of the most
frequented trails will be less crowded and you may prefer a quieter time in the
mountains. The upper parts of the Annapurna circuit around Marpha, Jomsom and
Muktinath fall in the rain shadow area and are perfect for trekking during the
monsoon. Note: Insect repellent should be carried when trekking during the
summer months.
Autumn being the best season for
trekking, excellent weather and spectacular mountain views greet trekkers as
they hike up. January and February are noted for cold weather with occasional
snowfall at higher elevations. Some routes may be blocked by snowfall, but
views are excellent.
Spring arrives in late February
in Nepal and it's the ideal time for those who are interested in flowers, birds
and the splendors of nature. Many varieties of wild flowers, especially
rhododendrons turn the hillside into a colorful paradise.
April and May are the expedition
season and the best time for mountain climbing. It is mildly warm at lower
elevations but occasional haze may obscure the view of mountains. At higher
elevations over 4,000 meters, the mountain views are excellent and temperatures
are quite moderate even at night.
Trekking Grade
Trekking in Nepal has divided in
some of grades as Easy, Moderate, and Strenuous and challenging treks. If you
are doing trekking in Nepal first time, It is necessary to know which trek
matches most with your physical capabilities in order to enjoy your trekking in
Nepal. Thus, we have categorized all our treks in the following ranks as below:
Easy Treks:
Experience is not necessary at
this level; anyone who is in good health and fit enough to enjoy a good weekend
hill walk can manage this grade. Usually, Easy grade treks are short in
duration and at lower altitudes; often they are optional, giving a chance of a
rest day. However, walking always involves some exertion: trails are seldom
flat, and you must still expect to have a reasonable amount of ascent and
descent. You would normally walk for 4 to 5 hours during the day. The transport
is by Airplanes and Jeep.
Moderate Treks:
The Moderate treks begin to
present more of a challenge to first time trekkers and are tougher than easy
treks. So these treks are suitable for any walker looking for something a
little more challenging and energetic. Most people who enjoy a weekend in the
hills or mountains at home are capable of undertaking a trek at this level: you
need to be in good health and reasonably fit, and you will almost certainly be
taking regular exercise. A trek could be graded Moderate either as a fairly
easy medium-duration walk, or as a harder, shorter walk. Some walking at higher
altitude and the occasional longer or more difficult day may be involved, but
generally conditions underfoot will be fair. A walking day would normally be
between 5 to 8 hours long and no experience is necessary.
Moderate to strenuous:
A moderate to strenuous trek
requires a medium level of fitness. During these treks, you will be required to
walk up to 6 hours in one day. The trails will not always be clear and may at
times be narrow and steep. You will be at times quite high in altitude so
should be prepared for colder conditions and occasional snow. Moderate to
strenuous treks are normally in well facilitated areas but at times you should
be prepared for minimal facilities and amenities, esp. if it is a camping trek.
And you will be more isolated from major roads and towns.
Strenuous Treks:
For any trek at this level,
fitness is most important and you may have to improve yours before departure.
Most Strenuous treks are equivalent to extended walking in mountainous terrain
at home, but usually at significantly higher altitudes; climate and remoteness
can also play a part. Walking days are usually between 6 to 8 hours although
there may be some longer days for pass-crossing or similar. Previous trekking
experience is desirable but not essential if you are confident of your physical
condition.
Challenging Treks:
Nepal Camping Treks Dolpo
Trekking, Manaslu Trekking, Kanchanjunga Trekking, Ganja- La Pass Trekking,
Simikot (Mt. Kailash) Trekking, Dhaulagiri Trekking, Challenging treks are only
for real adventures. The main component at this level is likely to be a long,
high altitude trek; Uphill Mountain with the possibility of some rope climbing
that requires physical and mental stamina. A high level preparation is
essential before embarking on one of these adventures. Altitudes will often
exceed 5,000 meters where people are living in High Mountain / high deserts and
the treks involve camping for relatively long periods about 20-28 days or sometimes
more than that. So excellent physical condition is essential and mountaineering
experience is preferable.
