Trekking Season

Nepal has two best seasons for trekking Everest Three High Passes, as this trip is much adventurous and challenging, we always recommend that you book this kind of trip at the right time of the year as possible. Trekking in Nepal is possible at any time of the year, depending on the area of the trekking area chosen. In Nepal, you can trek anywhere in any four seasons (Spring-Summer-Autumn / Fall or Winter), but the most popular trekking seasons are Spring and Autumn times. Nepal Spirit Adventure offers you to consider the following advice on the outstanding aspects of each season.

Autumn September- October- November:
The autumn is one of the best seasons for trekking in the Himalayan region offers excellent weather and outstanding mountain views, the weather is clear and we can guarantee that you can witness fantastic mountain views and panorama. This season is the peak time for trekking in Nepal Himalaya and you can also witness several Hindu festivals such as 15 days long Dashain, the biggest festival for all Nepalese, celebrating with the triumph of good over evil, and shortly afterward the 5 days long Tihar or Dipawali (Festival of Lights) follows.

Winter December-January- February:
In winter snowfall times at higher elevations, the snowline descends considerably, and the weather is cold. So it is an ideal time for trekking at lower elevations below 3,000m in the foothills of Nepal with great views of the Himalayas, it can get cold at night and in the mornings, but during the day temperatures are mild when it is sunny.

Spring March-April- May:
The spring is one of the best seasons for trekking in Nepal Himalaya. Many visitors travel to Nepal in the spring as trekking is fine in all Himalaya regions. The meadows and forest will be in full bloom with riots of colors of wildflowers specially rhododendron the national flowers of Nepal, come in great varieties from bush to tall trees. The weather is warmer at lower elevations and at the higher elevations over 4,000m visibility is excellent and the temperature is quite moderate.

Summer June-July- August:
During summer trek is warm and sweaty in the wet summer months, and also constitutes the monsoon season which can continue up to mid-September. Summer is a good time for the keen botanists and forest researchers as the higher valleys and meadows blossom with flowers and lush vegetation. It is not generally recommended to trek during the summer season except in the arid rain shadow areas like Upper Mustang, Dolpo and Kailash. Nepal Himalaya will be in the grip of wet monsoon season starting from mid-June to early September months, although morning are often clear for few hours for the views of sunrise and mountains, it can rain heavily almost every day, cloud hangs around by mid-morning, with frequent rain and occasional thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening times. The advantages of trekking in the summer months trekking along with a few crowds of trekkers and on the quiet trail.

Dear Mr. Ram Thapa Magar,
Thank you so much for your good organization, the trek was nothing short of spectacular. Nepal Spirit did an amazing job and I had the best experience of my life. The hotel in Kathmandu and tea houses along the Everest base camp trail were as Ram promised and of good quality, my guide Min was really helpful of very friendly. He made us so comfortable, very pleasant as we stopped every few minutes to take pictures. Also, he knows everything along the trek whatever I asked!

Nepal Top Trekking Company

We are very glad! We have booked our Everest base camp trek with Nepal Spirit Adventure! Everything was well organized. Our trip started from the second we landed in Kathmandu. Our guide Milan was amazing. He was well experienced to take care of us on the trek. Cannot praise him high enough! This company had all the experience of a large company but is small enough for that personal touches that Mr. Ram personally takes care of all the necessary arrangements with high-quality service more than we expect. We will definitely recommend Nepal Spirit Adventure to anyone considering trekking in Nepal.

Outstanding Trekking Company

Namaste Ram!
First of all, let me apologize for the late response but I have been travelling a lot over the last month due to work obligations.

Let me, in the first place, thank you for your organization. Both Tristan and me had an amazing experience and we will remember the trip to Himalaya as one of the most amazing experiences ever done in our life time.

Despite of the fact of the bad weather that enable us to see the peaks properly, the whole experience was outstanding. The lodges where we spent our night stays were all perfect (specially the Paradise Lodge at Lukla, and the Lodge at Pheriche, extraordinary one).

The guide Krishna has been really nice with us the entire trip, and the porter, Ray, was a 10. The best man. Always nice and pleasant with us carrying all our stuff along the trip and being nice with us every moment.

Bakthapur was one of the most beautiful things of our visit in Kathmandu. And I recommend you to include Temple house of kantipur among your suggested places in Kathmandu.

The food was delicious for the entire trip. The amount of clothes you recommended were perfect and I will suggest that you recommend people to have a light lantern for the dark places as well. We could have showers at several lodges, which was also perfect for us.

Thanks for the trip Ram, I already suggested you to a group of 8 people that are willing to go there. And I will suggest Nepal Spirit Adventure to many more if I ever get the chance.

I still dont have the pictures, but I will send some to you in case you want to have an idea of our trip.Thanks Ram for the service, and thanks again for keeping my mother updated.
Regards,
Paloma

Everest base camp trek

Meeting Ram on my first visit to Nepal in May 2011 was such a wonderful experience that I just had to come back. Last year was full of Kathmandu sights, Everest Mountain flights, white water rafting and trekking around the Pokhara region. After climbing Kilimanjaro in 2009 and seeing Everest for the first time in person in 2011 I just had to trek to Everest Base Camp in 2012 and there was no one else I would rather have organize the experience then Ram and Shiba at Nepal Spirit Adventure! They took care of everything, even helping me to rent some last minute gear, set me up with all the hotels, meals and flights and connected me with a guide (Jeeran) who suited my time constraints and turn a typical 14 day trek into an 8 day one. Having seen Everest in the movies, from the air and on the ground, I have a deep desire to take my shot at the summit of the Top of The World and when I do get my chance it will be with the team at Nepal Spirit Adventure! Namaste!

Everest base camp Trek

Hi there Ram
Namaste!!!

Our group flew exhausted into Kathmandu after a 50+ hour journey from Spain via the UK and Dubai with the idea that we would be able to easily arrange our trek once we arrived. After a couple of days of frustration and stress, we realised that was not going to happen and we were lucky enough to be introduced to Ram Thapa by the staff of the hotel where we were staying, while he was visiting another client.

He very understood of our situation, listened carefully to what we wanted to do and put together our EBC trek in a very short space of time, and at a very competative price. The very next day we were on a plane to Lukla at 7am accompanied by our guide, Navaraj. On arriving at the airport we hooked up with Sanjay, our superhuman porter. These two looked after us so well throughout the trek, constantly in contact with Ram by mobile they kept a really good eye on how we were coping physically, and responding to the altitude, they paced the trek perfectly and were a constant source of useful information. As a result we never had any problems and were able to really enjoy what for me became a life changing, unforgetable experience.

Ram was there on our arrival back in Kathmandu, keen to get our feedback to see if there were any ways he could improve his service, but we had nothing bad to report. The next day he arranged another trip for us: a safari in Chitwan and a stay in Pokhara, again he put us in good hands, and we had a memorable trip, travelling to both destinations and back without any hitches.
I would not hesitate to recommend the services of Nepal Spirit Adventure to anyone. 10 out of 10!
