Why go now

Nepal's post-monsoon window is not just good, it is the best trekking season on earth. The rain has washed the haze out of the air, the passes are open, the tea houses are all staffed, and the Annapurna and Everest ranges are visible from Pokhara and Nagarkot on most mornings. It lasts from early October to late November, and then the cold sets in. Indians need no visa and the flight from Delhi is under two hours.

Know before you go

1No visa for Indian citizens. Carry a passport or voter ID — an Aadhaar card is not accepted for entry by air.
2Indian ₹500 and ₹2000 notes are not legal tender in Nepal. Carry ₹100 notes or exchange to Nepali rupees.
3Even short treks need a TIMS card and an ACAP permit. We arrange both; going without is a fine and, on the trail, a real problem.

Altitude sickness in Ladakh and Spiti: what actually prevents it

More Ladakh trips are cut short by acute mountain sickness than by weather or roads. Almost all of them are preventable, and the prevention is boring: go slower.

Questions

Nepal — Frequently asked

If yours is not here, call or WhatsApp us — the desk answers, not a bot.

Yes — Poon Hill is four to five days of walking on maintained trails with tea houses each night, and thousands of first-timers do it every October. It needs reasonable fitness and the ability to walk five hours a day, not technical skill. Everest Base Camp is a different proposition and needs twelve days and real preparation.

Easily. Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Pokhara and Chitwan make a comfortable six-night trip with mountain views, temples, a lake and a jungle safari, all on roads. That is what most of our Nepal bookings actually are.

It is the least expensive international trip available from India. A six-night trip with flights, decent hotels, transfers and guides sits around ₹38,000–55,000 per person. Trekking adds surprisingly little because tea houses cost a few hundred rupees a night.
