Quick Look
Trip Overview
Are you interested in trekking through the adventurous routes of Nepal’s Everest Region? This region offers a plethora of routes that can fulfil your desired dream. One route starts from Lukla and passes through Gokyo Lake, beside the Gokyo peak. It then goes through Cho La Pass at an altitude of 5520m to reach Everest Base Camp and Kalapathar. You will see stunning views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Khumbutse, Pumori, Nirekha, and other ranges.
The route is known for its stunning feature of Gokyo Lake, which shines bright blue on a sunny day and looks pretty. The lake bears a sacred meaning for the Hindu religion, where devotees come to take a bath on a full moon day in September. Vishnu and Shiva revere the ritual meaning of this lake.
Gokyo Peak and its surrounding areas attract people from all over the world. The trekkers come here to enjoy the breathtaking view of Mt. Everest, Cho-Oyu, Amadablam, Lhotse, Nuptse, and other mountains in the Khumbu region. The views of the mountains surrounding Mt. Everest are incredibly significant, and Cho La Pass is known for viewing the mountains all around it and covers the region.
Itinerary
Upon arrival at the Tribhuwan International Airport Kathmandu, a representative of Aaozora Travel & Tour will assist in transferring the group to the hotel in Kathmandu. Once the check-in formalities are over, the trekking handling member of the company appears in the hotel and provides a brief description of the trekking and the sightseeing tour that first takes place in Kathmandu Valley.
The group starts their day after having breakfast at the hotel and then embarks on a sightseeing tour to visit world heritage sites in Kathmandu Valley. The tour includes Durbar Square, Soyambhunath Temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and Pashupatinath Temple. Durbar Square is the heritage site representing Nepal’s art and craftsmanship, dating back to medieval times. Temples and monuments surround it, and visitors can even meet the living goddess Kumari there. Swanmbhunath temple, also known as the Monkey Temple, symbolizes the integration of Hindu and Buddhist cultures. Finally, the Boudhanath stupa, the largest in the world, is dedicated to Siddhartha Gautam, also known as the Buddha. Closure to Boudhanath Stupa, the holiest temple of the Hindu Religion, is on the bank of the Bagmati river and is dedicated to lord Shiva, the god of death in Hindu believers. Visiting the temples lets you learn a lot about the Hindu religion’s culture, tradition, and ritual thoughts. In the nearby temples and on the bank of the holy river Bagmati, one can observe the moment or funeral procession when a person’s soul passes away from the physical body.
During the day, trekking and traveling documents must be prepared, and even in the evening – once the sightseeing tour is over – one can arrange the trekking kits and equipment if lacking.
Overnight stay at Hotel in Kathmandu inclusive of Breakfast.
Take breakfast early in the morning or request to pack it so the trekkers can enjoy a delicious breakfast while waiting for the flight to Lukla. The 30-minute flight from Kathmandu to Lukla offers scenic views of the green mountains and is a thrilling experience that will last a lifetime. Once the flight lands at the airstrip situated among the big hills, the hiking trail leads to Phakding, the first destination in the schedule. This is done to lower the height to 2650m from Lukla’s 2810m. The hike will take you through a lush green valley on the foothills of the giant hills along the Dudhkoshi River and become highly exotic. As you head to the valley, you will see Kusum Kangaru mountain beautifully.
Overnight stay at Tea House inclusive of Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
After having breakfast in Phakding, the trek to Namche Bazaar begins at 3440m. The path passes through the beautiful Himalayan pine and Deodar Cedar Forest along the Dudhkoshi River. Upon crossing the suspension bridge over the Imja Khola, a river from the Khumbu glacier, the trek becomes steep and takes approximately 3 hours to reach Namche Bazaar. It is essential to maintain a comfortable pace to avoid altitude sickness. Additionally, staying hydrated by sipping water during the hike is recommended.
Namche Bazaar is a significant trade centre with a rich history. It served as a hub for trade between Tibetans and Nepalese, where daily essentials such as salt, dried meat, textiles, and traditional crafts were exchanged. Nowadays, the town is filled with tourist shops and hotels that provide excellent services to tourists who visit the region for their Himalayan tours. As the trekkers gain about 1000m altitude, Namche Bazaar becomes a crucial acclimatization spot before continuing their journey in the prevailing environment.
Overnight stay at Tea House inclusive of Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Acclimatization is a technical term used in mountain hiking. Acclimatizing the body every 1000 meters gained is important when climbing. This means engaging in active activities rather than passively adjusting to the altitude. One common way to acclimate is by going up and down and staying at a selected spot. This helps trekkers and those hiking in the Himalayas to climb higher altitudes more easily.
Today, the Gokyo Cho La Pass trekker will be exercising acclimatization at Namche Bazaar. After breakfast, at around 8:00 in the morning, the group will depart for the Everest View Hotel, which is 3860 meters between the Khumbila Peak and Thamserku Himal. It is a fantastic spot for lovers of the Nepal Himalayas. While sipping hot coffee at the Syangboche hills in the Everest Hotel’s Garden, trekkers can enjoy a breathtaking view of the sky-high Himalayas. To the back is Kwangde, and on the right are Thamserku, Kantega, Kusum Kangaru, and Khumbila peaks at arm’s length distance. The view of the mountains at its forefront, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Amadablam, Twauche, Machermo ranges, and Island Peak, is even more grandeur. This elevation of the Syangboche hill is like a Himalayan fun park – a long-desired dream that can be fulfilled here. Once the view is enjoyed, the downhill trail through Namche Museum and Chola Pass trekking group will lead down to the guest house for an overnight stay.
Overnight stay at Tea House inclusive of Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
Initial walking on the flat-plain broad exotic way leads up to Kyanjuma onward. Here, the descent goes to Pungki Thanka and ascends right on the flank of the Dudh Koshi River. The strenuous way to Tengboche continues for about 3 hours and comes to the top of the hill, opening all four sides to the view of the giant Himalayas. A spiritual monastery is on the yard of the Tengboche hill. The EVEREST and others like Lhotse and Nuptse can be seen from the Buddhist monastery’s yard or the mountain lodge window, including Amadablam, Twauche, etc.
Inclusive with breakfast, lunch, and dinner overnight at the guesthouse.
After descending from Tengboche to Debuche for half an hour, trekkers will begin a moderate uphill climb toward the village of Pangboche. This route takes you closer to the stunning Amadablam and other mountains, making it an exhilarating experience. However, trekkers must be cautious of altitude sickness and stay hydrated by frequently taking small sips of water. It’s also essential to maintain a steady and rhythmic pace while hiking. As you’re captivated by the beauty of Amadablam and Lhotse with other Himalayan peaks ahead, take it slow and steady, and your guide will be there to provide support and guidance. Dingboche, situated at the foot of Amadablam, is the summer valley and remains vacant for a month during the summer months due to cultural and traditional practices. At an altitude of 4210m, it is approximately 800m higher than Namche Bazaar, making it an ideal spot for acclimatization. The group will be here for a second time for technical acclimatization.
Overnight at the guesthouse, breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
Today is the second day of acclimatization for the group as they begin trekking from Lukla through Namche Bazaar. After breakfast at Dingboche, the hiking will start at around 08:00 and go up to Nagerjun Hill behind the Dingboche village. The main aim of this hike is to go up and down at a low altitude for a good night’s rest. The day is strenuous and challenging due to the steep footpath.
Reaching an altitude of 5100m will take around 5 hours, but the views are stunning.
From the forefront up to Kwangde, the mountains become crystal clear and visible. Lobuche East (6119m), Lobuche West (6145m), Taboche Peak (6367m), Thamserku (6608m), Kantega (6685m), Ama Dablam (6856m), and other peaks such as Khumbila, Kantega, Makalu, and more, will be seen.
The gentle walk down on the steep winding way back to Dingboche will be highlighted with a beam of the Himalayas. The group will see the sights on the front, rest during the descent, and finally return to Dingboche for a night’s rest.
It includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with an overnight stay at Dingboche.
The trekking starts in the morning at around 7:30 am and goes up through a pastureland on the top of the Pheriche valley. This is where the Western volunteer doctors supported by the Himalayan Rescue Association have their clinic centre. Trekkers can consult here, and treatment and medication are also provided to the trekkers and climbers of the route and region. The altitude will be increased in Thukla, which is 4620m and has a commercial shop. The climbing here is tricky and challenging for about 45 minutes, usually taking 15 minutes of walking. This is because the height is already near the height where oxygen is thinner to 92%. Any quick walking or movement may invite altitude sickness. Taking long breaths and walking with a tolerable rhythm without resting longer than a minute in a standing position is mandated. Otherwise, it may cause the trekker to drop out of the plan.
Once the uphill climbing is over, the path is converted into loose pebbles and boulders. However, it becomes moderate to paddle to Lobuche, at the bottom of Lobuche’s east and west peaks.
Overnight at the guesthouse, breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included.
After breakfast at Lobuche, a mild climb along the river to Khumbu Glacier leads us to Gorakhshep. From Lobuche, the path is paved with boulders and gravel, so it is a little tedious. But you will feel Nuptse, Nirekha, Pumori, and others in the range so close that trekkers enjoy the moment the most. Reaching Gorakhshep, we gain about 200m of height, which means the path is not hard from the point of view of height, but because pebbles and boulders are around, trekkers should walk cautiously. All along the right side of the way, until you reach Everest Basecamp, the icefall and the Khumbu glacier that comes to be on the bottom of Nuptse entertain you a lot.
Gorakhshep is the last station. At this point, trekkers will enjoy lunch and proceed further to Everest Basecamp. Depending on the season, Everest Basecamp and its surface look colorfully beautiful, with many tents and camps on the white snowy background prepared for the Everest Climber. Depending on the season, some lucky trekkers will have a different moment to have a selfie with successful climbers. Once the memorial visits with scaling out of the Everest Basecamp height is made, and after enjoying the views on and around the bottom of the Everest Basecamp, trekkers will head back to Gorakhshep, which takes approximately 3 hours.
Stay overnight there in the mountain lodge with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
The primary goal of this trekking and the way to the Kalapathar viewpoint is to get the advantage of record-breaking views/faces of the World’s gorgeous mountains, which stand at the forefront of the Kalapathar viewpoint, the only and nearest point to see Mt. Everest and Lhotse and other herds of the hill that revolve around Mt. Everest. Trekkers will lean on Pumori and face Everest, an unbelievable moment the viewpoint provides, so it becomes a lifetime experience and memory.
Upon a satisfactory trip being made in the early morning to Kalapathar viewpoint (5545m), trekkers then get down to Gorakhshep, enjoy a hot breakfast, and head to Dzongla via Lobuche.
Overnight in Dzongla at lodge; breakfast, lunch, and dinner inclusive.
On this day, after having breakfast at Dzongla, the trekking begins towards Dragnak/Thangna. The trek involves crossing the Cho La Pass viewpoint, where you can see a view of Mt. Everest, including Lhotse and Nuptse. The trek involves strenuous ascends, which begin after 30 minutes from Dzongla. Natural stone steps come in the way when climbing; sometimes, all four limbs must be used to step up to the next step. It may even cause you to get help from a guide to support you while climbing. Just before crossing the pass, the passage comes to be crossed across from the flank of the glacier, which requires careful and firm steps. A big crevasse lies on the glacier’s right rim, which is why a cautious step is recommended for a while. The other edge of the glacier comes at a step-down; from that point, about 20m, the rope may require getting out to the safety trail. The last step to climb up stands at a height of over the waist of one’s, so it is adventurous. Moreover, at about 20-degree slope, which comes to meet about 20m distance from the point the Cho La Pass Trekker has to climb up, there lies an ice-water pond, which makes the trail more adventure-thrilling.
Now, a more thrilling adventure begins from the point of Cho La Pass. From that point, the trail is immediately converted into about 60-degree down-slope. More interestingly, the trail looks like a furrow of sand and loose-dried soils between the loose boulders. The trek is about 20 minutes long, and it is necessary to avoid staggering on the loose boulder to prevent them from rolling down. A group of 3 or 4 persons should head down together, ensuring that if mistakenly staggered steps or slippery steps on the loose boulder, it will not hurt anyone in the group. When the team ahead is safely landed in a safe area, the rest of the teams will make a move, following the trail in the same manner. Coming out from the adventurous trail of Cho La Pass Trekking, the rest is a downhill walk through its pastureland to Thangna, and the way is now standard.
Overnight at the guesthouse, breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
We start a little late on this day with a hot, delicious breakfast. The next destination is Gokyo Lake, which is approximately 3 hours from the point, so we will have enough time to rest on the next day of the adventurous trekking course of Cho La Pass Trekking. Following the trail crossing from the Ngozumpa Glacier (a 36 km large glacier), we head to the Cho La Pass trekking goers’ destination. The grand vista of Cho Oyu Mountain spellbound you. After having lunch and a bit of siesta, the groups will explore the other lakes. Gokyo Lake is a fabulous destination for emerald color lakes. It is beautiful enough to attract you for its purity.
Overnight at a mountain lodge, breakfast, lunch, and dinner inclusive.
The Gokyo Ri Peak is a stunning viewpoint in the Everest-Khumbu Region that requires a strenuous trek. The peak offers trekkers a spectacular view of the mountains, including Mt. Everest. The panoramic view from the peak helps fans of the mountain to perceive the different identities of the herds surrounding Mr. Everest. The Gokyo peak is famous for enjoying the mountains in the periphery of Mount Everest, which will bring a zoom in the panoramic view of Changtse, Kusum Kanguru, Khumbutse, Taboche, Khumbila Peak, kwangde, Thamserku, K 43, Kantega, Cholatse, Makalu, Lhotse, Nuptse, Everest, and Pumori.
The best moment is when the Gokyo Peak trekkers find the sun’s first rays kissing Everest, making it both romantic and spiritual. This extraordinary view helps to acknowledge that Everest is indeed the tallest mountain in the world. We trek down to Gokyo, and after breakfast, we walk down to Dole.
Overnight stay at a guesthouse with breakfast, lunch, and dinner included.
From Dole, the Cho La Pass Trekking team descends to Namche Bazzar through a total steep climb at Mong-La Danda (4940m) and again falls to Kyangjuma (3550m) and then heads to Namche Bazzar through an easy trail.
Overnight stay at a guesthouse with breakfast, lunch, and dinner inclusive.

A series of symptoms (mountain sickness) that occur when the body is unable to adapt to low atmospheric pressure and low oxygen when going from low altitude to high altitude. Specifically, this happens when you go from 0 meters above sea level to 3,000 meters or more in a short period of time. It is not a disease, but a series of “hypoxia symptoms.”

Trekking in Nepal can cost anywhere between US$100 to $200 per person per day, depending on particulars such as the trekking region, difficulty level, and number of days. This figure mainly includes trekking permits, accommodation, food, transport, guides, porters, and other miscellaneous costs. The cost of trekking permits will vary depending on the trekking region and route you choose. Accommodation in lodges or tea houses is inexpensive, but food and drinks can be costly as they must be transported to the Himalayas, where vegetables are challenging to arrange easily. Being accommodated with public buses or transportation may make the trip cheaper than having it set by a private vehicle or Jeep. If you hire a guide and/or porter, you must bear the expenses of their accommodation, food, daily wage, and insurance, topping some tips to them. But it is highly recommended you hire them for your secure and enjoyable travel. Additionally, it is advisable to keep some money aside for personal expenses, emergencies, and shopping.
Yes. Most of the trekking routes are bound under the compulsory holding of a trekking permit. What trekking permit sometimes is misread for is a National Park Entrances /Conservation Area Project Permit, etc., which is mandatory when the trail of the booked trekking passes through a national park or conservation area. Certain trekking areas in Nepal are highly regulated under special visitor permits. These areas include Upper Mustang, Upper Dolpo, Humla, Tsum Valley, Nar Phu Valley, and Kanchenjunga.

A mountain lodge comes to be along the trekking trail wherein the amenities for viewing the comfort of the stayer are arranged. Residents run this type of stay in lodges, and in the lodges, the kitchen, dining room, shared toilets, and some small bedrooms with only essential numbers of furniture are designated. In some places, the dormitory is also available. Some even have hot water showers, Wi-Fi, and cell phone charging facilities. Of course, money is charged for the amenities used. While rooms are generally lower, the food and other amenities cost more, like the rise in altitude due to lack of transport facilities.
If you’re a nature enthusiast and planning to embark on a trek, you must know what kind of accommodation you can expect. Most trails have tea houses or lodges nearby, perfect for a quick break or an overnight stay. These tea houses or lodges offer basic amenities such as a bed, hot showers, and hearty meals to replenish your energy. However, if you plan to explore more remote areas, you may need to carry your camping gear, as tent camping may be the only option available. When it comes to selecting your accommodation, it ultimately depends on the trekking route you choose. If you’re looking for a more luxurious experience, you’ll find upscale lodges on popular routes offering a comfortable stay and world-class amenities. On some commonly known routes, you can opt for a homestay accommodation option run by nearby ethnic communities. This accommodation offers a unique cultural experience and a chance to interact with the locals. No matter what type of accommodation you choose, remember to pack wisely, stay hydrated, and enjoy the journey!
In the mountainous regions where trekking is popular, tea houses are often the only waystations for hikers. These tea houses offer communal or public toilets for trekkers along the trails, especially in areas of high altitude. However, it is essential to note that these toilets are of the squat pan variety, which may take some getting used to if you are unfamiliar with them. In the lower altitude regions, some tea houses may have attached toilets near your room, which can be considered a luxury. On the other hand, if you are on a camping trek in rural areas without any settlement nearby, you will have to make do with a makeshift toilet. This involves digging a hole in the ground and using it as a toilet. It may not be as comfortable as a proper toilet, but it is an essential skill to learn to enjoy camping in remote areas.
In Nepal, internet connectivity is available in most trekking regions, but it may become erratic at higher altitudes. Tea houses along popular routes offer Wi-Fi access, which may be unreliable and cost up to USD 2 per hour. The Everest region has continuous internet access. You can also purchase prepaid SIM cards from NCELL and NTC. However, obtaining cellular network connectivity can be challenging at higher altitudes. Plan and make arrangements to stay connected before embarking on your trek.
Lodge or Tea House Treks are the definitive accommodation options alongside Nepal’s trekking trails. Tea houses, once just a place to sip tea, have now been transformed into full accommodations. These tea houses are operated by locals across different trekking regions, including Langtang, Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, and more. While some tea house owners reside in the tea houses, others generally run them seasonally, heading back to their homes in lower altitude regions during the off-season. In addition to providing lodging and food, tea houses are the ultimate way to meet other trekkers and socialize.
When trekking in Nepal, wear suitable clothing. For the upper body, long-sleeved shirts, t-shirts, lightweight thermals, wind-resistant fleece, down jackets, down vests, and waterproof shell jackets. For the lower body, non-cotton breathable briefs, light thermals, fleece or wool trousers, hiking shorts, and pants. Heading outdoors? Stay warm and protected with a headscarf, beanie or balaclava, UV protection sunglasses, and a sunhat. Keep your hands warm with gloves and mittens, and wear hiking boots with socks for your feet. Additionally, you should check out other packing lists, including clothing, gear, and equipment, that you should consider when trekking in Nepal. Check out our website: https://www.onlinetourinfo.com. The list of the items to carry on the trekking has been introduced through any trekking itinerary pages.
Taking a trekking guide in Nepal is now mandatory to look for the safety of trekkers worldwide. Many cases of the loss of trekkers in the Himalayan region have led the government to step in imposing the rule. Many solo trekkers unfamiliar with the different routes in trekking areas might unintentionally be attracted to extraordinary landscapes or scenery, which can lead them astray and cause difficulties in finding the right path back. This is often the cause of getting lost. However, in some cases, getting lost can have more severe consequences and result in adverse victimization. A few cases that the experts analyzed have revealed that illicit (taking no permits and legal documents) action taken in Himalayan activities must have led them to lead to unexpected victimization. Some are estimated to have been victimized by human crime. Going trekking long or short in the Nepal Himalayas is safe with a guide. Navigating the route and giving insight into the culture is not only what guides help you; any of the unforeseen difficult situations that may come during the trekking time in a remote area, a firm decision and action will be taken by the guide. Escorting and protecting the trekker/s from necessary evacuation to sometimes unexpected rubbery incidents, the contribution of the guide becomes numerically higher than what one pays to the guide.
Domestic flights in Nepal limit baggage holding to one customer by 25kgs. On top of these limits, 7kgs is permitted as hand carry; it is, however, chargeable, while the holding of luggage exceeds the limit on a per kg basis.
Trekking means in remote areas where accommodation is in the tea houses. Most tea houses are affluent of locals and the western and other Asian menus. As local food, the Dal Bhat is well known and serves enough energy while walking up and down. Hygienic food, the Dal Bhat, is equally cheaper because its ingredients are produced locally. Trekking routes like in Annapurna and Everest regions, Pizza, pancakes, porridge, cornflakes, dumplings, fried potatoes, pasta, spaghetti, steaks, eggs, and omelettes, and other large numbers menus are commonly served.
In popular trekking areas like Everest and Annapurna region, these have become common, except for some in the off-the-beaten-path and remote locations. Hot showers are available at USD 1 or 2 depending on the value of crowdy and non-crowdy regions. As the trekking goes deep into the mountainous area, the climate becomes colder, and the trekkers prefer to take showers in the gap, while some prefer cleaning their bodies with wet tissue or towels.
For carrying all types of usual items or daily use with some valuables, it would be ideal in a 30L Backpack/Daypack that remains all the way with you. In addition to the above, one duffle bag to carry the trekking special items like sleeping bag, inner, pants, shorts, shirts, fleece, sweater, windproof, waterproof, jackets, down jackets, etc. will be more helpful with the hire of a porter.
If your aim in visiting Nepal is to tour the city’s beauty or urban city, paying through a swipe machine or using an ATM or POS facility is possible. Unlike the town or its periphery, trekking happens only in remote areas where these services are far beyond reach. Cash is ideal, and further carrying Nepali currency would assist you in saving time.

Are there any hospitals or clinics on the trekking route, especially in the remote areas of the Solu-Khumbu region, such as the Everest Trekking Region?
Yes, there are hospitals and clinics located in Jiri, Lukla, Kunde, and Pheriche, which are popular spots along the Everest Highway trekking route. These facilities have been set up to reach assistance to the travellers in this area including altitude sickness. Altitude sickness is a unique condition that can be dangerous if left untreated.
For those visiting the Jomsom/Manang region in Annapurna, trekkers will have set up of hospital at Jomsom and Manang. This is to ensure that you can enjoy the stunning natural beauty of the area with a healthy body and mind. However, if you feel unwell or experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, fever, or diarrhea, which you suspect are not related to altitude sickness, please discuss your situation with your guide immediately and seek medical attention. We encourage you to prioritize your health and well-being by visiting hospitals and taking care of your health. It’s important to take care of your health while trekking. Some trekkers have experienced increased energy levels after trekking, while others have died from illnesses such as diarrhea, normal fever, and shortness of breath due to ignoring the warnings of altitude sickness.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to visit these established clinics and hospitals to ensure your well-being while trekking.
In the popular trekking routes, there are various health facilities like hospitals and clinics except for the remote areas. Even in remote areas, there are some healthcare facilities available, but for critical cases all these small hospital booth refers patients to the main cities for better care.
Altitude sickness is a condition that affects individuals differently. Even experienced mountain climbers or high-altitude trekkers may experience altitude sickness, while beginners may not be affected even when they exceed the normal altitude. Altitude sickness usually occurs when the altitude exceeds 3000m.
The best way to prevent altitude sickness is to climb slowly. If you feel any discomfort, it’s important to consult your guide and descend the mountain. You can avoid altitude sickness by choosing a reasonable route and gradually increasing the altitude. If you’re planning to trek in Nepal, it’s important to learn more about altitude sickness beforehand. We have over a decade of experience as mountain experts, so we can assist with altitude sickness or other illnesses that may arise during trekking.
When planning a trekking trip in Nepal, it’s important to prioritize your physical and mental health. Choose clothing that is comfortable, flexible, and can adapt to changing weather conditions. Trekking often involves spending nights in lowlands and highlands, so it’s important to prepare for significant temperature changes between day and night. In the Everest region, mornings and evenings are cold while afternoons can be sunny, so pack accordingly. Here are some essential items to bring on your trek: appropriate clothing and equipment, a healthy mindset, and a fit body.
The ideal trekking season in Nepal is from March to May, and from September to November or mid-December. Although it often rains from June to August, it is still considered a comfortable season for trekking in the Mustang and Dolpo area, which is the far northern remote part of Nepal. In autumn, from September to December, the skies are clear, and the Himalayas are beautiful. From December to February, the weather is bitterly cold, and snow falls at altitudes above 3,000 meters. However, if you are well-prepared, you can fully enjoy your trip. Spring fog begins in March, and the outlook becomes more difficult than we hoped for. Even if it is sunny after May, it is not suitable for trekking due to the rainy season.
Private rooms are available for sightseeing in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and other towns. However, for short treks and high-altitude Himalayan base camp treks, you will need to stay in a lodge. You’ll be served Nepalese dishes including dal bhat, fried noodles, chowmein, and thukpa (noodles with vegetables), as well as Western foods like French toast, toast, stir-fried vegetables, garlic soup, vegetable soup, omelets, dumplings, pizza, pancakes, and porridge. Additionally, you can also enjoy Tibetan dishes and boiled rice. The availability of menu items like potatoes, French fries, fried dumplings, squirt bread, steak, and more will depend on the price plan.
When trekking, you will usually be staying in rooms for two people instead of individual ones. During the busy seasons, you may have to sleep in a dormitory. If you are trekking to Everest or Annapurna between September and December, which is a popular route with fewer people in the group, you may even end up using a sleeping bag and sleeping in an empty dormitory.
The bed will come with a comforter and pillow, but if you tend to feel cold, it’s best to bring your sleeping bag. Make sure to check if you need a thicker sleeping bag depending on the trekking season. In some cases, the toilets may be located outside the lodge, so it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat and a flashlight. Remember to carry a flashlight with you, as the roads can be unfamiliar and dangerous.
In addition to Nepalese dal and bhat, there are a variety of dishes available such as porridge, papad, omelets, fried and boiled eggs, boiled potatoes, udon-style (mixed veg with noodle) soup with side dishes, stir-fried vegetables, tarkari (curry) fried noodles-style chowmein (fry noodle), pancakes, French toast, toast, sandwiches, boiled dumplings, meat and vegetable soup, fried rice, sweets, candy, bread, biscuits, snacks, and potato chips.

The Thamel district, a popular tourist area, has seen an increase in the number of children and adults begging on the streets. However, giving them money may not be the best way to help them, as it could hinder their development and perpetuate the idea that society bears the burden. Instead, it’s important to avoid such behavior and if you feel compelled to help, offer them food that is ready to eat, like pieces of bread or biscuits. This would prevent them from selling it for money. It’s also a good idea to educate these children about their social responsibilities.
