Trekking in Nepal
Nepal trekking is a once in a lifetime
activity. Endowed with a diverse topography ranging from the high rise
snow capped Himalayas in the north to undulating mountains covered with
lush green forests and terraced fields down south Nepal is arguably the
best trekking destination in the world. The rugged terrains, moderate
climate, and a great landscape make Nepal, an unmatched destination for
trekking. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of tourists throng Nepal
every year for trekking.
Flora and Fauna: Nepal
is also very rich in flora and fauna. Trekkers can find a wide range of
vegetation during the trek in the mountains. Hills are reddened with
blossoming rhododendrons in the spring. The forests in the trekking
areas are occupied by coniferous trees like pine and fir.
Likewise,
you also encounter many wild animals and birds in the jungles and
pastures during your trek. There are 850 species of birds in Nepal. At
least 200 to 300 species of birds are found in every trekking area. The
common animals found in the national parks and jungles of the
mountainous region are musk deer, Himalayan thar, red panda, Himalayan
black bear, snow leopard, wild dog, ghoral and serow.
Topography: The
trekking areas in Nepal comprises of numerous mountains and valleys in
alterations. So, a typical Nepal trek involves, a lot of climbing up the
hill-crossing a pass- and trotting down the hill the again. Great
viewpoints can be observed from the vantage points of passes or hill
stations – files of majestic snowcapped Himalayan summits upwards and
gilded or green terraces in the river valleys downwards. Some portions
of the trek involve walking along a river, while others involve walking
on the mountain ridges.
Climate:
Generally, trekking can be organised in one or the other part of Nepal
throughout the year. However, Autumn (August to November) and Spring
(mid-February to mid-June) are the most suitable periods of trekking in
Nepal. During these seasons, the climate moderate (not too hot and not
too cold), the visibility is good and there are no rains.
In
summer, also known as monsoon, trekking is not suitable in most parts
of the country due to the rains, floods and landslides. However, in
areas like Dolpo and Upper Mustang, where monsoon rains does not occur
treks still be organised.
In the
winter, the trekking trails in higher altitudes are covered by snow
making it difficult to trek. Short treks up to lower altitudes can still
be organised.
Food and Accommodation: While
trekking on conventional trekking areas including Everest, Annapurna
and Langtang, there are hotels, lodges, tea houses and restaurants at
convenient stops. In major junctions there are hotels with all
amenities, while in some there are traditional type hotels. Western
style food is available in most of the places in these trekking areas.
The food becomes more expensive as you go deeper inside into the
trekking trails due their distance from the motorable road.
In
some of the trekking areas like Dolpo and Jumla, hotels and lodges are
not easily available. In such trekking areas, we organise camping treks.
We carry tents, sleeping bags, food materials, cooking utensils and
other provisions along with us during the trek. Such treks can be
organised only in groups due to large number of manpower required and
for the arrangement of provisions.
Permits: As
such a permit is not required for trekking. But, a permit is required
to enter a National Park, a Conservation Area and a Protected Area. So,
if a trekking falls partly or fully inside a National Park, Conservation
Area or a Protected Area, then a permit is required. Practically, most
of the trekking areas fall in one or the other such protected areas.
Annapurna
trekking area falls under the Annapurna Conservation Area Project
(ACAP), part of the Langtang trek falls inside the Langtang National
Park and some of the routes in the Everest trek fall in Sagarmatha
National Park.
Likewise,
Kanchenjunga trek falls under the Kanchenjunga Conservation Area
Project, Manaslu trek falls under the Manaslu Conservation Area Project
(MCAP) and Makalu trekking falls under the Makalu Barun National Park.
Areas
like upper Dolpo and upper Mustang are protected areas and need special
permit from Nepal government for specified days. We arrange for your
permits when you book a trekking with us.
In
addition to such permits, trekkers are required to register themselves
in Trekkers Information Management System (TIMS) database and obtain a
TIMS card that mentions the tentative period of your trek and the
area(s) you are trekking. TIMS registration is vital for your safety as
it helps to keep track of you in case something untoward happens in the
trekking area. TIMS cards are distributed free of cost from Trekking
Agents Association of Nepal (TAAN) and Nepal Tourism Board (NTB). We
will take the TIMS card for you when you book a trekking with us.
Clothes, gears and medicines: As
expected, you should take warm clothes, when you go for trek in the
mountains. You should also take windproof jacket(s) as the winds get
really strong as you gain altitude. Trekking shoes having sole with
strong grip and comfortable backpacks are required. Sunglasses are
required to protect you from dust as well as the reflection of the
sunrays from the mountains. Please carry essential medicines like
paracetamol, rehydrating powder and water purifiers with you. Although
our staff carry these essential stuffs for the group when you trek with
us, it is always safe to have a backup with you.
Health and safety:
Trekkers are expected to be fit without any major illness at the time
of trekking. However, there are shorter treks that do not reach very
high altitude for aspirant who have complications.
Booking:
To book a trekking with us, you can mail us with details of the area
you are interested in, number trekking days and the number of people in
your group. We will respond to you personally and tailor make an
itinerary if required. If you are coming in a group and want to trek as a
group, we will arrange a separate trip for your grip. We can also
arrange a trip, if you are coming alone and wish to trek alone (ie with
our guide). We have fixed as well as flexible departure groups. If you
are coming alone or in a small group and want to join one of the groups,
you can do so. We will provide experienced guides, porters, other
manpower if required (for camping treks) and arrange for other logistics
like permits, accommodation on the way etc for the trip.
