It depends on which trekking region and which destination you are picking. Well, most of the days in trekking seasons are sunny with bright sunlight till afternoon time.

But be aware, Himalayan weather sometimes can be unpredictable and can get overcast with snow and rains with hailstorms on higher areas of Himalaya.

However,  during March to May  most of the days will be sunny. As your reach higher area it can get cloudy in the afternoon bringing chill and cold wind. Morning and night time will be much cooler around march to may at above 2,000 m.

While in moths of September to early December day will be clear with sunshine. But days will be short during these months. Morning and night time will be cold as these are the cold months in Nepal. Even in the shades you will feel cold.

Well, Nepal have four good seasons in a year namely Spring (Mid Feb to May), Summer and Monsoon (rainy wet months) from mid June last till mid September, with Autumn / Falls from mid September till November months, and Winter months from December till mid February.

Trekking can be of few days to more than a month too. So, if you are looking for trekking in Nepal then choice is yours when to start your trek. If you are planning for short trekking and especially a moderate trekking for few days to a week then you can do it nearly all months of the year. But you should avoid monsoon that means  months of July to August.

For adventurous and longer trekking  which lasts from a week to months and involves high passes, you need to be little aware. These long trekking need more fitness and awareness  because they can be little tricky and difficult. So, picking these trek-kings and picking best time of the year to do these trekking matter most for safety  trekking.

But sometimes it can be little harsh. The unpredictable weather, lack of  well sleep, change of foods and natural calamities can make it really worse. Altitude sickness is one of the major factor of letting you down during trekking in high regions.

We used to send first aid kits with our guide, if in case yon need first-aid treatments. In some scenarios first aid treatments wont be enough. If you need medical emergency then we  are always ready to provide that with helicopter rescues.

Again this depends on the trekking destinations you are picking. If it is not the altitude trekking(more than 3000) then we even allow adult of age less tha 15.

People who wants to travel and do treks in Nepal then they need to be medically fit. They also need to have travel insurance. If it is easy and moderate trek then people who are medically advised by doctor to travel will be accepted as client.In this scenario age group will be flexible too.

So, if you are travelling to Nepal then before booking with any company ask them whether they will accept you or not. Do not lie about your health issue and travel  insurance.

All will be taken with well care as per the situations. For normal mild sickness, one can stay in the same place for few days and take time to recover. Do not worry, you will be looked after by our guides/staffs. After feeling better, you can continue or return back to Kathmandu city.
