Sightseeing Kathmandu Valley

 Expedition and Climbing

( Nepal's biggest attraction)

Ask any visitor "What is Nepal's biggest attraction?". The answer invariably will be the Himalaya. Many come to simply look and be over whelmed while many others come to conquer. Today, the Nepalese Himalaya plays host to huge contingents of aspiring as well as accomplished mountaineers from all over the world every year.

Among the expedition circuits, the most popular are:

  • Annapurna region to the north of Pokhara
  • Everest region in eastern Nepal
  • Langtang-Helambu region north of Kathmandu

There are four seasons for Mountaineering in Nepal :

Spring (March-May), summer (June – August), autumn (September-November) and winter (December-February). While weather conditions during spring and autumn are fairly favorable, they can turn quite unpredictable in summer and winter. No wonder most of the mountaineering expeditions try to take their shots at the peaks of their choice during spring and autumn. This does not, however, stop the more hardy souls to run the gauntlet during the other seasons, and many have done so successfully.
