Everest Base Camp Trek in March

March is the starting of spring, one of Nepal’s two high season. While temperatures in the high Himalayas are likely to be chilly. Hikers hit the trails in big number again in March, and there are several good reasons to do so. Here’s everything you need to know about hiking to Everest Base Camp in March.

Everest Base Camp Weather in March

Rain is uncommon in March, so clear mountain views in the Everest region is great. However, as temperature goes up throughout Nepal, especially the second half of the month, humidity rises. You’ll still get good clear views, but they won’t be as crisp or as reliable as they were in the winter.

The advantage is, of course, that March has warmer temperatures than January or February . While snow may remain at higher altitudes, and unexpected snowfall can break plans at any time, many trails will be thawing out by this time.

You should still prepare for chilly weather—temperatures in Namche Bazaar, for example, can drop below -3°C in the night. But they can also be as high as 12°C.

Everest Base Camp Trek: Crowds & Costs

While March isn’t as busy as April, guesthouses on the classic Everest Base Camp (EBC) route fills up quickly during this time. Trekking with a professional Sherpa guide is one way of preventing this, as they will book you into a decent lodge, although the options will be limited due to how busy the trails are.

Alternatively, you might choose an offshoot of the EBC trip that explores the same area but takes a less traveled route. Some ideas are given below.

Routes Recommendations

The classic Everest Base Camp trip is famous for a reason—but it is incredibly popular. There are numerous alternative routes in the Everest area that overlap with EBC but take you down quieter paths if you prefer quieter routes and views unobstructed by other trekkers’ heads.

Some of the more off-the-beaten-path camping expeditions are not recommended in March as temperatures at higher altitudes may still be cold, especially at night, and snow could be a concern. However, as March marks the start of the spring trekking season, many teahouses will reopen after their winter break, providing better accommodation choices than in January or February.

The Gokyo Ri trek diverges towards the blue waters of the trail’s nickname glacial lakes. The Tengboche Monastery trek leads you to one of Nepal’s most important Buddhist monasteries, from which you can see the spectacular Ama Dablam.

The Dingboche journey is similar but extends a little further to the little Dingboche village. The Ama Dablam Base Camp trek is also a great way to explore a place that many people seem to miss when trekking in this area.

Trekking peaks are usually accessible again in March, so if you want a more difficult challenge than a simple trip and have prior high-altitude climbing experience, a trekking peak is a suitable beginning to Himalayan climbing. Island Peak (20,305 feet/6,189 m) is a difficult but not too technical climb.

The journey to get there follows much of the classic EBC trek, so if this is your first time in the region, you can get the best of both worlds by following a popular route and going somewhere less visited.

What You Should Bring?

While the good teahouses normally provide blankets, it’s always a good idea to carry your own sleeping bag. Teahouse blankets aren’t washed very often, so they’re best used as a top layer, above your own cozy sleeping bag.

While a winter-weight sleeping bag will most likely be useful, they are quite bulky. Combining a three-season sleeping bag with teahouse woolen blankets should sufficient, as long as you also have appropriate clothing .

Down jackets are good because they are lightweight and easily packed away during the day if you get too warm while walking. Bring woolen hats, gloves, socks, and scarves, as well as good merino and synthetic fiber clothing to keep you warm in the evenings and nights.

Getting There and Away

Flying from Kathmandu to Lukla is the shortest way to reach the Everest region. Although rainfall is normally low in March, Kathmandu is especially smoggy and dusty in the run-up to the monsoon in June, which could cause flight delays.

Domestic flights between Kathmandu and Lukla will also fill up quickly in March, so book as far in advance as possible.

Know more how to get to the Lukla

If you’re looking for a longer adventure and wish to walk (nearly) the entire distance, take the trail from Jiri to Lukla. The ‘Pioneers’ Route’ was named after the trekking route that early Western mountaineers used to reach the Everest region before Lukla’s airport was built. Jiri is located approximately one day’s journey from Kathmandu.

Festivals and Events in March

The Everest region is mainly Tibetan Buddhist in culture and religion, and many of Nepal’s most interesting March festivals are based on Hindu traditions, so they are not widely celebrated in the mountains.

However, if you plan a trip in Nepal in March, you can join one of the following Kathmandu festivals before or after your trek. Traditional Nepali celebrations usually follow a lunar calendar, therefore certain events that fall in March one year may fall in February or April the next. Festivals that so often fall in March are:

Ghode Jatra is a Kathmandu-specific celebration during which the Nepal Army races horses at the parade ground (Tundhikhel) to ward off the demon Gurumapa.

Maha Shivaratri is especially vibrant at Kathmandu’s Pashupatinath Temple, where thousands of sadhus (Hindu holy men) gather to worship Lord Shiva.

Holi is a spring festival in which water and colorful powders are thrown around in celebration.

Dinesh hinduja, frequenty asked questions.

Many trekkers call and ask us this question. You may notice that our trek fee is marginally higher for some treks, and you may wonder why you have to pay more for the same trek. The answer is straightforward. There's a very big difference in the quality of the experience you will have with Indiahikes compared with anyone else. You'll notice a stark difference in three areas:

1. Safety: Indiahikes is known to be India's safest trekking organisation. There's a reason for this. In the mountains, there are no better safety experts than Indiahikes trek leaders and the Indiahikes team. Whether it is our people, our processes, our equipment, or our protocols, they are watertight. So much so that other organisations come to Indiahikes when there's an emergency in the mountains. This is the level of safety we give our trekkers, and the marginal difference in the trek fee is something you pay for a very big benefit.

2. A mindfully designed trek: When you go on a trek with us, you don't blindly trek from Camp A to Camp B. There are a lot of mindful activities and experiences conducted throughout the trek. Our trek leaders are professional outdoor facilitators who can help you feel connected to yourself and nature. They are of a much higher caliber, and you'll notice this when you meet them.

3. A premium experience: We want trekkers to have a comfortable, premium experience in the mountains. You will notice this in the quality of our facilities. Right from the time you reach the base camp, you stay at our beautiful community campuses and not at cramped lodges. The equipment you use is expedition-grade and made to order by Indiahikes for Indiahikes. The food you eat is freshly cooked and part of a nutritious menu that our team has designed with your health and taste in mind.

There are multiple other aspects, like our hygiene practices, our bio-toilet systems, and our sustainability practices, where you are not harming the environment when trekking with us. There are many differences you'll see in your trek with Indiahikes.

With all these benefits, our trek fee is marginally higher. Many trekkers come back and tell us that our fee must be higher and is not high enough for the kind of experience we design. Yet, we will not veer in that direction because our philosophy is that Everyone Must Trek. After all, we know how good it is for society.

Yes, absolutely. Many solo trekkers join our teams and have wonderful experiences. They end up meeting like-minded people on the trek and don't feel like they have come along on the trek anymore.

Our pre-trek experienced team ensures that you know your entire team well much before you actually head out on the trek.

Additionally, we have several women trekkers who join us solo as well because of the safety they get with the Indiahikes team. You're welcome to join us as a solo trekker too.

Our answer to this is straight. When trekkers say Indiahikes is the safest trekking organisation in India, they are also referring to safety of women. You are going to be completely safe with us for the following reasons:

1. 35% of our trekkers are women. So you will be trekking with many other women in your group.

2. Our accommodation is separate for men and women. You will be sharing your tent / staying space with other women.

3. More and more solo women are trekking with us, so much so that you'll see a solo woman trekker in almost every group. This number is only growing. So you're not alone.

4. We ensure you e-meet your trekkers much before meeting them, in a pre-trek briefing as well as on a Whatsapp group. So you're not meeting strangers on the trek. You already know them.

5. 35% of our trek leaders are women. You might just have a woman trek leader!

6. Our male trek leaders are also trained and sensitised to handle any situations sensitively, including your periods. You're free to approach them for anything.

It is because of all these reasons that more and more solo women trekkers choose to trek with Indiahikes. Our own women team members live and work in the mountains, leading groups and living in a male-dominated industry. It is completely safe, you'll see for yourself.

Many trekkers call us and complain that our groups get filled too quickly. They never get the slots they want. Unfortunately, this is the hard reality. We have observed two things.

(1) It is the more challenging treks that get filled very quickly. Like the Rupin Pass trek or Buran Ghati trek. This is because when it comes to challenging treks, trekkers are very cautious about choosing the right organisation. They know that safety is of utmost importance on such treks and don't want to compromise. That is why you will see these treks getting filled almost 6 months in advance. You too, must plan these treks at least 5 months in advance.

(2) The popular treks always get filled in advance. Treks like Kashmir Great Lakes trek, Tarsar Marsar, Kedarkantha in winter, Deoriatal-Chandrashila in spring, these are blockbuster treks of our country, which you have to plan in advance.

Our advice is that you plan your trek at least 5 months in advance. This gives you three benefits:

a. It gives you a comfortable choice of choosing your most preferred dates, vs the dates that are leftover.

b. It gives you a good cushion in case you need to cancel / reschedule your trek. Your cancellation fee will be almost non-existent, depending on how early you change plans.

c. You have a good amount of time to prepare for the trek and become as fit as a trek leader.

So plan in advance, you'll have the best experience.

It’s wonderful that you’re planning to start trekking in the Himalayas. You’d be happy to know that around 70% of our trekkers are beginners and always get hooked to trekking after their first trek!

Having said that, you must choose your trek wisely — something that is not too difficult, yet will allow you to experience the grand settings of the Himalayas.

These are the treks we find best suited for beginners:

• Manali Kaisdhar Trek
• Chirbatiya Weekend Trek
• Benog Tibba Weekend Trek
• Nag Tibba Weekend Trek
• Dayara Bugyal
• Deoriatal-Chandrashila
• Kedarkantha

If you're in Bangalore, we highly recommend opting for our treks near Bangalore as preparatory treks for the Himalayas. These are the best treks you can do around Bangalore:

• Channarayana Durga Trek
• Minchukallu Betta Trek

If you're unfit or obese, then you must choose the right treks to do. We recommend choosing from our "easy" treks. The Manali Kaisdhar trek is the best one, because the trails are completely flat and will not test your endurance. It is a good stepping stone into the world of trekking.

On the other hand, if you're able to work on your fitness and meet the fitness criteria for any of our treks you're welcome to join our other treks too.

Every trek of ours, starting from our easy-moderate treks, has a certain fitness requirement. Our Experience Coordinators do fitness checks before allowing trekkers on treks. If you're able to get on a fitness routine and share proof of your fitness, you're welcome to join us.

There's a reason why we have strict fitness protocols on our treks. This video will tell you what happens if you're not fit.

On the other hand, several trekkers ask us what is the fitness approval process. Take a look here.

High-altitude trekking is a team sport. When a team of 18 is trekking to the summit, every single trekker's fitness matters. The team is only as strong as its weakest trekker. Often, unfit trekkers slow the team down, drain resources since they need a guide / trek leader constantly with them, they slow the team down.

On the other hand, every high-altitude trek comes with a set of challenges. Steep ascents and descents, uneven terrain, snow walks, stream crossings, pass crossings, and summit climb. Even the easiest of treks have some of these challenges if not all of them. Without fitness, trekkers struggle, get injured easily, lag behind, or simply fail to complete the trek. 

At Indiahikes, we take pride in the fact that our trekkers are among the fittest in the country. Those who do not meet the fitness requirements are often sent back. Our philosophy is that trekking and fitness go hand in hand. Without fitness, there’s no trekking. 

We have two kinds of waivers and scholarships at Indiahikes.

1. Scholarships for children: At Indiahikes, we strongly believe that children must trek. Children aged 14 and below qualify for a 30% trek fee scholarship. Reach out to us before payment to avail of this offer. Check out this article to  learn more.

2. For every ten adult members (aged 15 and above) of the group, we waive off the trek fee for one person. Indiahikes will reimburse the said trek fee after you complete your trek.

The answer for this is not a yes or no. If you have any kind of health issues, please speak to us on a call before registering for a high altitude trek. Whether you can trek depends on the severity of your issue. We'll be able to speak to you and give you some guidance.

On the other hand, please take these two steps first:

1. Watch the "Ask Dr Sree" series, where Dr Sreelakshmi Thirumoorthy, a high altitude trekker and a practicing doctor, covers several health-related topics in her show. Trekkers find her videos to be very helpful.

2. Speak to your doctor about taking on a Himalayan trek and ask them if it is advisable. If they give you a green signal, nothing like it.

Once you're on the trek with us, we will have a safety check-in on the first day of your trek. During this check-in, disclose any health issues that you have to your trek leader, so that they can take extra care of you. Please also carry your medications along on the trek.

This is a big worry among trekkers. But what we have seen is that most trekkers start their treks by worrying about toilets but return feeling so comfortable with the toilets that they want the same toilets in the cities!

We have bio-toilets, researched and designed by Indiahikes for high altitudes. These toilets are designed with two things in mind: (a) your comfort and (b) care for the environment

What are bio-toilets? Biotoilets are deep pits dug into the earth, on which we place wooden planks. You squat Indian-toilet style and do your business in the pit, after which you use toilet paper to clean up. Once you're done, you use sawdust to cover up the human waste and leave the toilet clean for the next person. (In case you cannot squat, request your trek leader for a toilet seat. They can make it available.)

How are they comfortable? These toilet tents are placed at a slight distance from the campsite. There is no sight or smell once you enter the toilet. The sawdust doesn't allow any smell to escape and also absorbs all the moisture, keeping the toilet dry and odour-free. It also speeds up decomposition. On the other hand, our toilet tents are sturdy, with zips and good privacy. So you can do your business comfortably.

They are environmentally friendly: These are dry toilets, where we don't use water. There's a reason behind this. Our toilets are designed after extensive research on the decomposition of human waste at high altitudes. Using too much water slows down the decomposition by many months, which is not favourable in such fragile eco-systemsecosystems. (You can read more about the design of the toilet system here ).

5 Reasons Why Indiahikes

When we brought out new trails in Indian trekking, safety came with us. Back in 2012, we were the first to introduce microspikes, and two years later, pulse oximeters became standard thanks to us. Nobody does safe treks like Indiahikes. In the mountains, emergencies don't care who you're with – everyone knows that when trouble hits, you look for the yellow tents of Indiahikes.

We are pioneers in trekking. Since 2007, we have brought out treks that have become India's most famous treks: Roopkund, Rupin Pass, Buran Ghati, Kedarkantha, Kashmir Great Lakes, Tarsar Marsar, Brahmatal, Phulara Ridge—the list goes on. In 2023 alone, we brought out five new treks in Indian trekking. We know treks better than anyone . This comes directly from the reason why Indiahikes was born: to bring out trek information and enable trekkers to trek on their own.

More than 25,000 people trek with us every year. We are the largest trekking organisation in India. 24% of our trekkers come back to trek with us every year. Over 4,000 students from the top educational institutions trek with us every year. Aside from this, families with children choose to trek with Indiahikes knowing that our treks are the safest. We have taken over 8000 children trekking so far, and the number continues to grow.

We focus on designing transformative experiences. Our trek leaders conduct thought-provoking exercises that help you reflect and contemplate. This impact stays with you for a long time. Trekkers return feeling energised, more confident, or developing abilities to deal with difficulties. Many have changed careers, rethought their core values, become more humble, shown gratitude to others, or started a new fitness journey.

Since 2012, we have pioneered sustainable practices that have become standard in trekking. Using eco-bags, our trekkers have cleared over 120 tonnes of litter from the mountains. We do not carry packaged foods; instead, we serve freshly made food. We do not light campfires; we carry coal to light angethis to keep you warm. Our bio-toilets not only keep our toilets odour-free but also enrich the soil. When you trek with us, you leave mountains better.

Marchoi Trek

• Moderate + Easy Trek
• Max. Altitude 3200 m.

Overview of Marchoi Trek

One of the most beautiful Himalayan tourist destination and the home of some remarkable trekking routes is Kashmir. The Marchoi Trek is accessible all year long, but the winter months are when the area transforms into a snowy wonderland, making it the ideal location for a quick winter trek in India. The trail-head of the trip is a popular picnic destination for both locals and visitors from other countries because of its spiritual significance to Buddhism and Hinduism. The total trek distance is 18 km and consisted of a total elevation gain of 1000 m (from 2200 m to 3200 m). You reach Dumail, a small valley where two pernnial rovers converge, by walking parallel to the Wangth river and then through a stretch of jungle. The walk offers up-close views of pine trees, tiny glaciers, and snow gullies. Dumail onwards is when the trek’s major ascent begins. The surrounding valley known as Marchoi Valley, which is located to the northeast of the trek’s summit point, gave the Marchoi Trek its name.

Naranag, Basecamp

As spring approaches, the Kashmiri lowlands’ hilly regions turn from white to green, yet snow still covers the region over 3000 m. Only a small number of places in the Valley are appealing all year round. The Naranag Valley is home to a very well-liked trekking and camping area that is available all year long but is primarily used in the summer. Icicles and frozen gullies join the trail during the core winter season only. A stay at Dumail Campsite immerses you in nature because it is flanked on all sides by diverse valleys. The hamlet serves as the starting point for a number of day hikes and multi-day treks, including the Marchoi,  Gangabal Lake Trek , Naranag Gurez, and Kashmir Great Lakes hikes. The area was frequented by early Hindu pilgrims, and the Department of Archaeology in India has taken steps to preserve the area’s Shiva temple remains.

Marchoi Valley

The major part of the Indian Himalayas is located in Kashmir, which has hundreds of valleys. With its distinctive hiking tracks that are unique of anywhere else in the world. Kashmir has enormous potential for trekking and climbing. The Marchoi Valley hasn’t been one of the valley’s top trekking locations in the last 30 years, but it has been on the trekking map for more than a century and has only been visited by foreign tourists and locals. The increased number of hikers heading for the Kashmir Great Lakes Trek offered hikers a better understanding of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The Marchoi Valley was found to be the ideal location for a quick, simple hike through less populated Kashmir. From spring until autumn, the Valley is encircled by snow-covered mountains, which turn fully white in the early winter. The area is known for its trout-fishing beats in addition to hiking and camping opportunities, and during the summer, Bakerwals and Shepherds of the Valley use it to graze their herd.

Map of Marchoi Trek

  Latitude 34.3889756T , Longitude 74.92755083333334

Every mountain is reachable if you keep climbing, and the same is true for short and long-distance treks. The Marchoi trek is not a difficult trek, but rather an easy-moderate winter trek with a simple route; however, we always focus to provide trekkers with quality information that will help them to understand the trek better. The route is divided into two main stretches, and a night at basecamp is required to acclimatize for this winter trek. Total distance of Marchoi Trek is 18 Km only inlcuding return. The first 3 kilometers of the Marchoi trek from Naranag to Dumail is the easiest  part with a flat trail parallel to the Wanght River. The second section of the Marchoi Trek begins with a gradual ascent through pine forests and becomes sneaky after 2 kilometers. The remaining 4 km are steeper than what we left behind and will require a little more effort to reach the summit. Trekking must begin early, especially on sunny days, to avoid becoming slippery when hard snow softens. The trail ends when you reach the Shadimarg, which is the local name for this beautiful meadow surrounded by valleys on all sides.

This mountain Village is well-known for camping, trout angling, and short and long treks, with a number of other attractions around.  The first-night stay will be at Naranag Campsite at an altitude of 2200 m. Due to the winter season, acclimatization plays an important to remain fit for this short winter trek.

Day 2: Naranag to Dumail, Marchoi.

 The group will assemble their luggage for an adventurous day after having breakfast at 8 AM. The trek starts at the stunning Naranag Archeological Site and continues into the Wangath Forest Conversation Zone. Following a partially frozen river and through pine forests while enjoying a breathtaking view of sharp mountain peaks from the North. Marchoi meadow is visible from the beginning of the trek even a clear view after completing half of the walk. The adjacent Gujjar tribes use mountain houses known as Doka or Kotha as summer residences. 

Wild Life:  Numerous wildlife species, including the endangered Hangul and Himalayan Black and Brown Bears, are part of this forest zone of Wangath and Naranag. The Marchoi trek is completely safe for groups and very rarely any wildlife animal is spotted by trekkers. Being a sensitive habitat so each person should leave it in better shape by picking up any rubbish they find. 

Day 3: Dumail to Marchoi Meadow.

A beautiful day on mountains  always begins with a beautiful sunrise. Entering the Marchoi meadow route  from Dumail Camspite right after the breakfast at 7 Am.  Wild Walnuts trees are covering the starting part of the hiking trail with few small springs and boulders. After a small traverse the altitude gain starts and ends in the lap of cedar and pine trees. As you get higher the view of surroundings valleys fill the hike with epic natural scenes. The trail get sneaky at the altitude of 2700 m through the left over of burnt forest cover.  The Shadimarg meadow  covered by mountain ranges by all sides and most epic is Mt. Harmukh 5142 m from the western side of meadow. 

Harmukh Mountain 5142 m: Mt. Harmukh’s station peak (4700 m) was first climbed by Thomas Montgomerie during the Great Trigonometric Survey in 1856. The mountain has an important exploration history of the world’s big mountains. The climbers sketched the two tallest peaks, K1 (Masherbrum) and K2, about 130 miles (210 km) north of Mount Harmukh. For the first time in history, the highest peaks of the Karokaram range were observed and recorded. 

Day 4: Dumail to Naranag to Srinagar.

The core winter season in Kashmir lasts from December 21 to January 31, so icicles and frozen gullies are common on the Marchoi trek during this time. For the third night, we can either go camping or stay at the guest house; both options are available. The backdrop of Marchoi meadow contains a series of sharp ridges and spiky peaks, the majority of which are virgin pinnacles rising above 4500 to 4700 m. The Kashmir great lakes Gadsar Lake and Gangabal Lake is also accessible from Churnar via Dumail, followed by a ridge and a pass.

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)

Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) commonly occurs in individuals ascending to high altitudes, typically above 2,500 meters (8,000 feet), due to the body's struggle to acclimatize swiftly to decreased oxygen levels. Symptoms include headache, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Though usually mild and self-limiting, AMS can escalate into severe forms like High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE) or High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE), posing life-threatening risks if not promptly addressed.

Generally, trekkers come for high-altitude Himalayan treks and they are not aware of altitude sickness.  Trek the Himalayas  has collected some information and our experience to share about altitude sickness to help Himalayan trekkers. Altitude sickness generally refers to a condition known as  Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) . It affects people in areas of high altitude, which means areas at around 2,500m above sea level. Altitude sickness is more common, and becomes more severe, with increasing altitude.

How do I manage the negative temperatures on the trek at higher camps? Do I need special jackets?

Layer Up From Head To Toe Eat Full Meals, never sleep empty stomach You can keep warmee (if you’re more susceptible to cold). Use sleeping bag in right way and don’t leave free space in sleeping bag.

For upper body – Thermal layer – T-shirt (full-sleeves) – Fleece T-shirt (for extreme colds) – Fleece layer – Thick Jacket/Down Jacket – Waterproof or Windproof layer (outermost layer, when it is snowing or raining) - For Lower Body – Thermal layer – Hiking pants (normal) or Winter hiking pants

Based on how warm you feel you can skip any of the above layers. Your outer later should be windproof since it is windy at high altitude. The idea behind layering is that the more insulation you have the less cold you feel, and instead of wearing a very thick jacket if you wear multiple layers, your body will be better insulated against the cold.

How to choose the right trek?

Choosing the right trek for a beginner can be a bit overwhelming as there are many factors to consider such as distance, elevation gain, terrain difficulty, weather, and time of year. Here are some tips that can help you choose the right trek for a beginner:

1. Determine fitness level:  Assess the fitness level of the beginner to understand their physical capabilities. This will help you select a trek that is challenging but not too difficult.

2. Choose a well-traveled trail:  A well-traveled trail will have more amenities such as signposts, water stations, and shelter. It is also safer as there will be other hikers on the trail.

3. Consider the length of the trek:  For beginners, it is recommended to start with a shorter trek that can be completed in a day or two. This will help them get acclimatized to trekking and build their confidence.

4. Look for gradual elevation gain:  Choose a trek with a gradual elevation gain rather than steep ascents. This will make the trek easier and more enjoyable.

5. Check the weather:  Check the weather forecast before selecting a trek. Avoid treks during the monsoon season or winter when the trails can be slippery or dangerous.

6. Research the trail:  Read about the trail to get an idea of the terrain, altitude, and difficulty level. This will help you select a trek that is suitable for the beginner.

7. Consult with an expert:  If you are unsure about which trek to choose, consult our trek expert Mr. Nitin (+91 70600 59773) between 10 AM to 6 PM (Tuesday - Friday). Mr. Nitin will provide you valuable advice and guidance.

Overall, it is important to choose a trek that is enjoyable, challenging but not too difficult, and suitable for the beginner's fitness level and experience.

Can a beginner choose a tough trek?

It is not recommended for a beginner to choose a difficult Himalayan trek. Trekking in the Himalayas can be physically and mentally challenging, especially if you are not used to the high altitude, steep slopes, and rugged terrain. Choosing a difficult trek without the proper experience, fitness level, and preparation can be dangerous and put you at risk of altitude sickness, injury, and other hazards.

If you are a beginner, it is recommended to start with an easier trek and gradually build up your skills and experience. This will help you understand the challenges of trekking in the Himalayas, and also prepare you physically and mentally for a more difficult trek in the future. It is also important to choose a trek that matches your fitness level, experience, and interest.

What is the age limit for a beginner trekker?

There is no specific age limit for a beginner trekker. However, it is important to consider your physical fitness, health condition, and personal interests before embarking on a trek. Trekking in the Himalayas can be physically and mentally demanding, and requires a certain level of physical fitness and endurance.

If I am solo, can I join the trek in a group?

Yes, you can join the trek. We have fixed departure groups where you can simply book your trek and we will take care of curating a group.

How does my family get updated about my Trek?

Before you start the trek, it is recommended that you make all the necessary phone calls as during the trek you may or may not receive network coverage, once you come back to the Base Camp, you can reconnect with your family via phone once again.

The 10 Best Treks in Nepal’s Majestic Mountains 2024

Posted: February 21, 2024 | Last updated: February 21, 2024

Nestled between the towering peaks of the Himalayas, Nepal is a land of unparalleled natural beauty and a haven for trekkers. From the iconic Everest Base Camp to the serene trails of the Annapurna region, Nepal’s mountains offer a diverse array of trekking experiences, each more awe-inspiring than the last. This guide will take you through 10 of Nepal’s most majestic mountain destinations, providing insights and practical advice for your trekking adventure.

1. Everest Base Camp

Embarking on the Everest Base Camp trek, you’ll journey through the heart of the Himalayas, where the world’s highest peaks, including Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse, tower above. Starting with a thrilling flight to Lukla, the trek takes you through traditional Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, and along the Dudh Kosi River. The route is challenging yet rewarding, with acclimatization days in Namche Bazaar and Dingboche. The final ascent to Base Camp offers a stunning view of the Khumbu Icefall, making all the effort worthwhile.

Insider’s Tip: Acclimatize properly to avoid altitude sickness.

When To Travel: Pre-monsoon (March to May) or post-monsoon (September to November).

How To Get There: Fly to Lukla from Kathmandu and start your trek from there.

2. Annapurna Circuit

The Annapurna Circuit is a classic trek that takes you around the majestic Annapurna massif. This journey offers a remarkable diversity of landscapes, from the subtropical jungle of the Marshyangdi Valley to the arid, Tibetan-like terrain of the Upper Mustang. Crossing the Thorong La Pass, the trek’s highest point, is a challenging but exhilarating experience. The trek also allows for cultural immersion in the mountain communities of the Gurung and Manangi people.

Insider’s Tip: Take side trips to the ice lakes or Tilicho Lake for additional stunning views.

When To Travel: March to May and October to November for the best weather conditions.

How To Get There: The trek typically starts in Besisahar or Bhulbhule, accessible by road from Kathmandu or Pokhara.

3. Langtang Valley

The Langtang Valley trek offers a quieter, more intimate Himalayan experience. It begins with a drive to Syabrubesi and a trek through forests, pastures, and traditional villages. The valley provides close-up views of Langtang Ri and Langtang Lirung. The trek also includes a visit to Kyanjin Gompa, a significant Buddhist monastery, and an optional climb to Tserko Ri for panoramic mountain vistas. This region was heavily affected by the 2015 earthquake, and trekking here supports local recovery efforts.

Insider’s Tip: Extend your trek to Gosaikunda Lake for a spiritual experience.

When To Travel: March to May and September to November for clear skies and pleasant temperatures.

How To Get There: Drive to Syabrubesi from Kathmandu, the starting point of the trek.

The trek involves crossing the Larkya La Pass and traverses through Budhi Gandaki Valley, known for its mix of Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist villages. The circuit is a challenging trek, blending cultural richness and scenic splendor.

Insider’s Tip: Ensure you have a guide, as the Manaslu trek requires special permits.

When To Travel: March to May and September to November are ideal.

How To Get There: The trek starts at Arughat or Soti Khola, which can be reached by bus or jeep from Kathmandu.

5. Upper Mustang

Trekking in Upper Mustang takes you to a region that was once an independent kingdom. The landscape here is more desert-like, characterized by eroded canyons and colorful stratified rock formations. Lo Manthang, the walled capital, is a highlight, with its monasteries and royal palace. This area is culturally and geographically more akin to Tibet, offering a unique trekking experience distinct from the rest of Nepal.

Insider’s Tip: Visit the ancient monasteries and the royal palace in Lo Manthang. Stay at the beautiful Shinta Mani Mustang.

When To Travel: May to October, as the region lies in the rain shadow area.

How To Get There: Fly or drive to Jomsom, then trek or drive to Lo Manthang.

6. Gokyo Lakes

The trek is less crowded and provides spectacular views of Everest and surrounding mountains. Climbing Gokyo Ri offers one of the best viewpoints in the Everest region. The trek passes through Sherpa villages, offering insight into the local culture.

Insider’s Tip: Trek during the full moon for spectacular night views of the mountains.

When To Travel: March to May and September to November for the best weather.

How To Get There: Similar to Everest Base Camp, fly to Lukla and follow a different trail.

It’s known for offering some of the most spectacular mountain views, especially at sunrise from Poon Hill itself. The trek passes through rhododendron forests and Gurung villages, giving you a chance to experience the culture of the central Himalayan region. The trek starts and ends in Nayapul, a short drive from Pokhara.

Insider’s Tip: Carry enough cash, as there are no ATMs on this route.

When To Travel: October to November and March to April for clear skies and good weather.

How To Get There: The trek starts from Nayapul, which is a short drive from Pokhara.

8. Kanchenjunga Base Camp

The Kanchenjunga Base Camp trek is a challenging and adventurous journey to the base of the world’s third-highest mountain. This remote trek offers stunning views of Kanchenjunga and a chance to experience pristine wilderness. The trek passes through diverse ecosystems, traditional villages, and high alpine terrain. It’s a trek for those seeking solitude and unspoiled nature.

Insider’s Tip: Be prepared for basic accommodations and facilities, as this is a less developed trekking route.

When To Travel: March to May and September to November for stable weather.

How To Get There: Fly or drive to Bhadrapur, then drive to Taplejung, the starting point of the trek.

9. Makalu Base Camp

The Makalu Base Camp trek is a challenging journey to the base of Mount Makalu, the world’s fifth-highest mountain. This trek takes you through some of Nepal’s most remote and wild areas, offering stunning views of the eastern Himalayas. The Makalu Barun National Park, through which the trek passes, is a biodiversity hotspot with a rich variety of flora and fauna.

Insider’s Tip: Be physically and mentally prepared for a challenging trek with basic facilities.

When To Trave: Pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods for the best conditions.

How To Get There: Fly to Tumlingtar from Kathmandu, then drive to Num, the starting point of the trek.

10. Rara Lake

Trekking to Rara Lake offers a serene experience away from the more popular trekking routes. Rara, the largest lake in Nepal, is known for its clear blue waters and scenic beauty. The trek to the lake is an adventure in itself, passing through remote Jumla and Mugu districts. The area around the lake, Rara National Park, is home to a variety of wildlife and offers tranquility unmatched in other parts of Nepal.

Insider’s Tip: Visit the nearby Rara National Park for a chance to see unique wildlife.

When To Travel: September to October and April to May for the best trekking conditions.

Each destination offers its unique charm, from the world-renowned Everest Base Camp to the tranquil trails of Rara Lake. As you trek through these mountains, you’ll not only witness breathtaking vistas but also immerse yourself in the rich culture and hospitality of the Nepali people.
