Trekking is very popular because there are tall mountains, deep valleys, fast flowing rivers, ancient monasteries, and quaint villages. There are many package tours that give you the opportunity to see several areas of Nepal. Some package tours cover the Annapurna area.
Others cover the Everest area. There are package tours that cover all three, including the less developed area of Manaslu. There are treks available for the traveler who wants to see a variety of landscapes, and there are treks that cover more remote and less inhabited areas. People of all ages and all physical conditions can enjoy the great outdoors in the Himalayas. It is very reasonable and affordable. If you hire a guide, it costs a little more, but the money is worth spending because he can help you plan everything. Guides are very knowledgeable about the country and the area.
In this relatively small country, the variety of features in the landscape means that visitors have the opportunity to encounter a multitude of experiences. Within a few days, trekkers can cover several different ecosystems from sub-tropical to alpine, pass through varied cultures from the lowlands to the high Himalaya and cross a multitude of different landscapes, including jungles, grasslands, rivers and the world’s highest mountains.
While visitors enjoy the diverse natural beauty of Nepal, they have the opportunity to visit Buddhist Monasteries and gompas and experience the gracious hospitality of the mountain folks. Nepal is famous for providing a myriad of trekking options from the very basic to high altitude adventures, including mountaineering and peak climbing. Trekkers can choose the kind of adventure they want based on their experience, interest and time.
The Everest Base Camp Trek is world famous, bringing adventurers of all ages from across the globe to Nepal. The trail follows close to the lines of the Himalayas and touches on a large part of the Khumbu region, Sagarmatha National Park of Nepal. The journey begins with a short flight from Kathmandu to Lukla and meanders north through many villages, including Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, Dingboche, Lobuche and ultimately Gorak Shep.
Of course, the main goal of the trek is to reach Everest Base Camp, and after months of training and years of saving, trekkers get their once-in-a-lifetime chance to stand face to face with the world’s highest mountain, Everest. Along the way, trekkers are offered unobstructed, breathtaking views of many of the world’s highest mountains as well as glaciers and the native Sherpa culture.
Mountain scenery, remote cultures and strenuous walking are combined on the 2 week Manaslu Circuit. This trek offers superb views of the Manaslu massif and is one of the few treks that takes you above 5000 m. The trail follows the Budi Gandaki River, passes through several ethnic groups (Brahmin, Chhetri, Lama) and offers stunning landscapes. Highlights include Lho, the last observer of the Tibetan culture, and Samagaon with its two beautiful lakes.
From here, the trail takes you over Larkya La, a 5,106 m high pass, to the Marsyangdi River valley. Combining spectacular mountain scenery and the cultures of the Tibetan plateau and the traditional lifestyle of the people of the Nepalese Himalaya, Manaslu offers one of the best adventures in the Himalaya.
The Annapurna Circuit Trek combines dramatic changes in landscape, vegetation and culture with challenging but spectacular high altitude trekking. Beginning in sub-tropical greenhouses and ascending to alpine deserts, this is a trekking trip over 17 days that truly provides it all. The route is continually varied with stunning engineering by Mother Nature. One does not have to travel far out of Kathmandu to be able to trek and immerse oneself in a completely different Himalayan culture. The Annapurna Circuit truly is one of the best multi-day treks in the world.
The Annapurna Base Camp Trek leads through the famed Annapurna Sanctuary, surrounded by vertically soaring peaks, and provides cultural and natural variations for hiking interests. The route offers many wonderful vistas, including views of some of the famous peaks of the Annapurna and Dhaulagiri ranges, and of Machhapuchhre and other Himalayan peaks.
This trekking route combines great mountain views and rich cultural interests of the various communities that inhabit the different regions through which the trek passes. Altogether, the Annapurna Base Camp Trek is a great short-duration trek in the Annapurna Region that offers great views of the Himalayas and other interests of trekkers.
Situated north of Kathmandu, the Langtang Valley region is home to varied terrain and landscapes. Langtang Valley is able to provide trekkers with a more accessible insight into the Himalayas, with a shorter trekking time from Kathmandu as compared to other regions. The routes provide trekkers with scenic forests, the fast flowing Langtang River, quaint Tamang villages, and high alpine meadows.
The trails end at Kyanjin Gompa, which boasts stunning mountain views as well as the Cheese Factory, which is a crowd favorite. Langtang offers everything from mountain views, high cultures, easy access from Kathmandu as compared to other regions, and incredible biodiversity. Langtang offers trekkers a more convenient yet adventurous trip as compared to other destinations.
The Mardi Himal Trek is one of the popular, shorter treks in the Annapurna region. It is ideal for trekking experiences of shorter durations. Mardi Himal provides a close-up view of Machhapuchhre and other peaks of the Annapurna range. The trek offers a variety of landscapes from forests to rural villages to wide-open mountainscapes. Hiking Mardi Himal provides several photo opportunities of the majestic Annapurna range and other Himalayan mountain peaks. It can be combined with other Annapurna region treks to extend the length of the trek.
Gokyo Valley Trek offers a different way to explore the Everest region of Nepal. Trekkers journey to the beautiful high-altitude Gokyo Lakes and have the opportunity to climb Gokyo Ri for even better views of the Himalayas. Like other treks in the Everest region, this trek also provides visitors with up close views of glaciers, other high mountain peaks, and lakes. The views from the top of Gokyo Ri include Mt. Everest and other surrounding peaks.
This trek offers travelers a different experience from the more traditional Everest region treks. The Gokyo Valley Trek provides visitors with the opportunity to see high-altitude lakes and gives trekkers a different trail experience from more traditional treks in this region of Nepal.
The Everest Three Passes Trek takes an off-the-beaten-path route through high passes in the Everest region. Like most treks in this area, your trip will depend on permits and the time of year, so your itinerary could include crossing the Three Passes (Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La) as well as visits to Everest Base Camp and the Gokyo Lakes.
Expect very long hiking days and very tough terrain. The Everest region is rugged and very different from the other, more touristic, parts of Nepal. Hiking through the Everest region gives hikers a very different perspective of the area compared to the more well-known helicopter tours.
Many travelers dream of experiencing the beauty of the Himalayas but often believe it to be an expensive dream. The term “Budget” in the context of these packages means effective management of a traveler’s overall expenses without compromising on their experience in the Himalayas. The most effective way to bring down the cost of your package is to use local service providers, share the cost with other travelers and join a group for a trek.
These packages are favored by younger travelers like students and solo travelers. Hill Sherpa Trekking offers excellent and well-organized packages at a reasonable cost, such as the Everest Base Camp Trek.
If you’re open to sharing your adventure with others, group join trekking packages offer great opportunities for solo travelers. You will not be the only one going on the journey. You will join a group led by a guide and support team, with other trekkers on a scheduled departure.
Group treks provide opportunities to interact with other travelers and possibly make new friends. Generally, a group joining trek in Nepal will cost less than a private trip. A group joining trek to Everest Base Camp can also provide you with opportunities to interact with travelers from various other countries.
Private trekking packages offer clients the flexibility to plan their trip according to their own group. Because of this, families, groups of friends, and couples can plan their treks according to their preferred departure dates. They can also plan their treks according to the pace they wish to take. Private trekkers can choose the itinerary that best appeals to them and stay in the type of lodging they wish to stay in.
Private trekkers can also plan the activities in such a way that they get to spend more time at places they find most interesting. Because of the above mentioned advantages, travelers wishing to enjoy their trip to the Himalayas in the company of a small group of people they are familiar with can plan their trip accordingly by choosing a private trekking package.
Many travelers have the misconception that trekking is the only activity in Nepal. Some of the high altitude peaks are also open to mountaineering. Some of them are Mera Peak, Island Peak, Lobuche Peak and Pokalde Peak. Compared to conventional trekking, mountaineering requires more effort and time to get acclimatized to high altitude. Mountaineers are also required to have the necessary permits and climbing gear.
Hill Sherpa Trekking has the experience to take clients to the above listed peaks and help them acclimatize to the altitude. They also offer these adventures in addition to their trekking adventures.
Because Nepal is largely mountainous, the weather and the conditions of the trails vary with altitude, so trekking during the right season is important. Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are the main seasons for trekking, as conditions are normally favorable and trails are less obstructed. Due to the proximity of the lower regions to the Himalayas, Spring attracts many because the lower trekking regions have vibrant rhododendrons.
Other than trekkers, Nepal has many visitors during Autumn because of the Northern Hemisphere’s clear views of the Himalayas prior to Winter. Upper regions and trekking routes become inaccessible and obstructed during monsoon (June to August). Winter brings cold conditions to all regions, especially at higher altitudes. The best seasons and periods for trekking depend on the desired locations, routes and experiences.
There are many factors that determine the price of a trekking expedition in Nepal. Some of these are the region that you choose for trekking, length of the expedition, services of a guide and porters, type of accommodation and meals, permit, transportation, flights, and other activities that you include in your trip. An expedition to a peak and a group join trekking expedition will have a different cost structure.
A trekking customer should go through the details of a trekking package. He/she should have knowledge about what is included in a package and what is excluded. There may be situations where a customer has to bear the costs of travel insurance, equipment, additional overnight stay, and other unforeseen costs. A company providing trekking and mountaineering services must mention the total cost of a trip. This will help the customers plan their trip to the Himalayas.
There are many things that affect the price of a trekking tour in Nepal like the region, duration, and the type of services selected. The cost also depends on the mode of transport and accommodation selected. A group joining trek will be cheaper than a similar trek done privately. The cost of a peak climbing expedition is higher than a normal trekking expedition.
While selecting a trip, you should go through the services included in the price and the services you will need to pay for. You should also find out if there will be added expenses for flights and other activities, and if you will need to pay for your own trekking equipment. Knowing the cost of each service helps you understand the different expenses you will need to incur for your trekking journey.
Trekking packages typically include transportation, trekking guides, and some meals. Travelers should look at the specifics of each package before purchasing. Hill Sherpa Trekking offers several trekking packages, and travelers can see the specifics of each by looking at the package details. Some additional things travelers may want to include are flights, accommodations, and other meals, though some may be included in the package.
Hill Sherpa Trekking includes a description of each service, as well as the price, to make it easy for travelers to decide what they want to include.
The term difficulty in trekking has multiple dimensions. The main factor is the covered distance. Other factors are altitude, elevation, terrain, weather, number of high mountain passes, daily walking hours, and the level of acclimatization required. Short, lower-altitude treks can be called easier treks, while treks involving high mountain passes or prolonged stay above 4,000 meters can be considered difficult.
The popular trekking routes in Nepal are not necessarily difficult and can be considered by first-time trekkers based on their personal assessment.
The requirements for guides and permits for different regions of Nepal for trekking vary and are constantly changing. The practical aspects of planning and embarking on a trek are much easier with the help of a local guide. This includes organizing your stay, getting around, and getting the information you need to prepare for acclimatizing to altitude and trekking in areas with an unfamiliar culture.
It is very important to confirm the most current requirements for trekking in restricted or regulated areas. A local trekking agency can be a good source of information and help to arrange a trek to any area of Nepal.
There are many factors to take into account when choosing your trekking package. These include your time, money and of course your stamina. If you have a short time frame and want to see as much as possible, try doing the Mardi Himal or Langtang treks. If you want to take on an even more of a challenge, you could try doing the Annapurna Circuit or the Manaslu Circuit.
If you want to get a good glimpse of the world’s tallest peaks, you definitely want to try out some treks in the Everest region. For travelers looking to get a glimpse of the local culture as well as remote areas, the Manaslu region is for you.

People new to trekking in the Himalayas can consider less challenging treks at lower altitudes and a gradual build up to high altitudes.
The cost of a trek varies with the length and the route. Additional costs include permits, transport, meals, and tips for guides and porters. Treks are offered as private or with a group. Trekkers should look beyond the advertised price and understand what services are offered with the package.
Yes, group join departures are usually an option if you wish to do a trek as a solo traveler. The exact options available would depend on the trekking company and the particular itinerary.
Spring and Autumn are the main trekking seasons in many regions of Nepal. Other seasons may also be appropriate depending on the destination and the preferences of the visitors. It is best to check the conditions prior to departure.
