Trekking in Nepal
Nepal offers everything from short ridge walks near Pokhara to multi-week high-altitude journeys through Everest, Annapurna, Manaslu, Langtang and Mustang. NEPAGO lets you compare routes by duration, difficulty, maximum elevation, region and season before opening a full trek guide.
Use the individual trek pages to check typical itineraries, accommodation style, fitness expectations, altitude considerations, packing, safety and transport to the trailhead. Route pages also connect to nearby destination guides so you can plan the city or regional part of the trip around the trek itself.
Permit and guide requirements depend on the exact route. Nepal Tourism Board currently lists a number of protected-area trekking routes where a licensed guide and agency-issued TIMS Card are required. Always verify the current rule for your route before paying for permits or setting out.
For first-time trekkers, compare not only the headline difficulty but also sleeping altitude, daily ascent, total duration and how much recovery time your itinerary leaves. A shorter trek such as Mardi Himal can still reach high altitude, while longer routes may need dedicated acclimatization days.
Season matters as much as route choice. Autumn and spring are the main trekking periods for many regions, while winter, monsoon and rain-shadow routes have different trade-offs. Check the individual trek page, current weather and local advice rather than assuming one season works equally well across Nepal.
Before committing to a trek, leave enough time for arrival, equipment checks, permits, trailhead transport and post-trek recovery. That buffer can make the difference between a realistic itinerary and one that breaks down after a delayed flight or road transfer.
