Nepal is a country of amazing extremes. Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha and world’s highest mountain, Mt. Everest are not only the two subjects that one should wonder of there are other great summits almost as high, towering above populated valleys and forested plains in which the wildlife is preserved. Adventure and amusement is everywhere, on trek onto the high mountains, on climbing ridges, on quiet lakes or rushing Himalayan Rivers or in forests full of wild life, flowers and birdsong. There are lots of ancient temples, palaces, ageless sculpture in the capital, Kathmandu Valley and near by and are like living museums. Nepal has something for everybody-tourist, trekker, river runners, wild life enthusiast, Geographical & Historical surveyors, Nature lovers, travel photographers and artists or the weary in search of a personal Shangrila. There are easy walks lasting a few days and there are strenuous expeditions that will take three weeks or even more. All of them have great scenery in the background. You will find all the details about combination of cultural riches and natural beauty of Nepal after your visit which will surely be the memory of your lifetime. You will be visiting some places already declared as the World Heritage Sites, Mountain Lakes and Botanical resorts above 4000 meters, you'll be walking through forested areas with wild life conservation centers, villages and there will always be the icy white Himalayan peaks in the background. A day on the trail usually consists of four to six hours of walking broken by a lunch stop. You will have to travel slowly to enjoy the scenery on the trail, not to get to a destination quickly in a hurry. The main precaution to be taken while trekking in high altitude is not to go up too high too fast. Because you may be the victim of (AMS) Acute Mountain Sickness, the effect of thin air above 4000 meters which can be very dangerous and may even result in death. If you have the first symptoms like swelling in the face and breathlessness, dizziness and nausea than descend to the lower altitude as soon as possible and ask for medical help. Comprehensive travel insurance is advised to cover emergencies like helicopter rescue and medical treatment in case of accidents on the trail. There are lots of authorized trekking agencies who will take care of almost all the details like guides, porters, government permits, air and bus ticketing, food and lodging, tents and equipments and even the medical precautions. One should also be careful while making the journey in high altitudes and should not go all alone if not well experienced. Trekking is possible at any time of the year depending on where you are going. Winter is too cold, high mountains passes and near by areas may be fully covered with snow, but it’s nice for trekking at lower altitudes. In the monsoon season you can trek in northern Himalayan areas like Dolpo and Mustang. Those are the rain shaded areas so rainy clouds don’t reach these areas because of the high mountains. Annapurna sanctuary, Langtang and the Mt.Everest are the most popular Himalayan trek in Nepal. The trekking route to these destinations goes through the paths that have some of the most stunning scenery on earth for the trekker, nature lover, wild life enthusiast, Geographical & Historical surveyors, rafters, artist, documentary movie maker and a travel photographer as well.

The sovereign independent Kingdom of Nepal lies between 80 deg 15’ -88 deg 15’ East Longitude and 26 deg 20’- 30 deg 10’ North Latitude. It is bounded on the north by the Tibet Region of the People’s Republic China, on the east by Sikkim and West Bengal (India) and on the south and west by the Indian States of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The length of the Kingdom is approx 880 kms east-west, and its breadth varies from 144 to 240 kms north-south. It lies in the temperate zone with the added advantage of altitude. Expect for the Tarai on the south, even the valleys, with some exceptions, are seldom less than four thousand feet above sea-level. All this adds up to one significant conclusion: There is no seasonal limitation to travel in and through Nepal. Even in December and January, when the winter is at its severest, there are compensations bright sun and brilliant views. Winter days may begin in mist which can last until noon, and then disappearing fog brings the view of snowy white peaks against the clear blue sky.
Nepal’s climate varies with its geography. The temperature get cooler in proportion with altitude, higher altitude has cooler temperature then the lower. So ranges from tropical to arctic depend upon the attitude. The Terai region, which lies in the tropical southern part of the country, for instance, has a hot, humid climate. The mid-land regions are pleasant almost all year around, although winter nights are cool. The northern mountain region, around an altitude above 3,353 meters has an alpine climate with a considerably lower temperature in winter as can be expected.
Nepal has four climatic seasons:
a. Spring: From March – May. b. Summer: June - August.
c. Autumn: September – November. d. Winter: December - February.
All seasons are good for travelling, each has its own particular charm.The best time for the tourist to visit Nepal avoiding the rainfalls will be from August to February.
