For many, a trekking trip through the Himalayas is a once in a lifetime experience, and a chance to enjoy the world’s most spectacular mountain scenery. However, there are some things to keep in mind if planning trekking in Nepal. Making sure you are fit enough to walk, and to withstand the high altitudes is important, and it’s worth investing in a good quality backpack and walking shoes. You’ll need a visa to enter Nepal, and researching airfare as far ahead as possible will help you to get the best ticket price. One of the most important things is using a reliable and experienced trekking company, and online reviews can help. Consider how far you will be trekking each day, the size of the group and the experience of the guide. Finally, the time of year is important; September to November is generally the best time.
