Eight corners of Nepal, from the Khumbu’s teahouse highway to the walled city of Lo Manthang — and what each one asks of you.
Region first, then route. The season you can travel, the altitude you are ready for and how you reach the trailhead rule out more itineraries than difficulty ever does — so start here, and we will match the trek to it.
Base Camp, Kala Patthar at sunrise, the Gokyo lakes and the Three Passes — all of it out of Lukla, through Namche and the Sherpa villages that made this the most walked trail in the Himalaya.
Permits: Sagarmatha National Park entry + Khumbu rural municipality fee.
Region Guide →The widest choice in Nepal: five easy days to Poon Hill, ten to the Annapurna Sanctuary, or the full circuit over Thorong La. Teahouses every couple of hours and a road out at both ends.
Permits: ACAP entry permit + TIMS card.
Region Guide →The closest big mountains to Kathmandu — no flight, a drive to the trailhead and you are walking. Rebuilt village by village since 2015, and the yak cheese at Kyanjin is worth the climb on its own.
Permits: Langtang National Park entry + TIMS card.
Region Guide →The circuit the Annapurna road gave back to us: two weeks around the eighth-highest mountain on earth, over Larke La, with a fraction of the traffic. Restricted, so it is guided and never solo.
Permits: Restricted Area Permit (two trekkers minimum, licensed guide required) + MCAP and ACAP.
Region Guide →Behind the Annapurnas, in the rain shadow — red cliffs, cave monasteries and the walled city of Lo Manthang. The one region that stays dry and walkable straight through the summer monsoon.
Permits: Upper Mustang Restricted Area Permit (US$ 500 for ten days) + ACAP.
Region Guide →Three weeks to both base camps of the world's third-highest mountain, through rhododendron forest and Limbu villages. Camping in places, long days, and days on end without another trekking group.
Permits: Kanchenjunga Restricted Area Permit + conservation area entry.
Region Guide →The step past trekking, without technical climbing behind you. Mera at 6,476 m is a long snow walk; Island adds a fixed-rope headwall. Both start with a trek in, and a training day on the glacier.
Permits: NMA climbing permit + Sagarmatha or Makalu Barun park entry.
Region Guide →Seven World Heritage sites inside one valley, plus the ridge walks to Nagarkot and Shivapuri. The right first and last days of any trip — and the whole trip for travellers who are not here to climb.
Permits: No trekking permit — heritage site entry fees only.
Region Guide →Autumn (Sep–Nov) is the clearest air of the year and the busiest trails; spring (Mar–May) trades a little haze for rhododendron forest and the climbing window. If your dates fall in the monsoon, Upper Mustang is the answer — it sits in the rain shadow.
Anything over 4,000 m needs acclimatisation days built in, and we will not sell you a schedule that skips them. Five days gets you a Himalayan viewpoint; two weeks gets you Base Camp or a pass. Nothing shortens that safely.
Manaslu, Upper Mustang and Kanchenjunga need a restricted-area permit, a minimum of two trekkers and a licensed guide — that is the law, not an upsell. We file the paperwork and carry the copies.
Everest means a Lukla flight and a weather buffer day. Annapurna, Langtang and Manaslu are drives, so they are the safer choice on tight schedules. We plan the buffer in either way, and we say so before you book.
Tell us your dates, your altitude history and how long you have — we will tell you which region fits, even when the answer is “come back in autumn”.
