Hi, I’m looking at doing ABC in November however don’t yet have dates. I was hoping to book the tour when I arrive in Nepal as this seems to be cheaper than what western companies offer online. Would it be better to book this in Pokhara or Kathmandu?

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone,

My partner and I are planning to do the Ama Yangri trek as our first trek together, and we’re both pretty new to traveling and trekking in general. I’m a bit more flexible, but my partner would prefer something comfortable and not too intense.

We’re thinking of going in early May—would that be a good time?

We’d really appreciate any advice on:

• How to get there from Kathmandu
• Whether we should go independently or with a guide
• Accommodation options (something a bit comfortable if possible)
• What to expect in terms of difficulty

Any beginner-friendly tips would mean a lot. Thanks in advance!

Is guide mandatory for Mardi Himal trek or it can be done solo without an accompanied licensed guide or porter.

Moreover, NTB at KTM didn't provide a TIMS card, said it isn't required. Can we do Annapurna region just with the ACAP permit and without the TIMS card. And what about TIMS for Mardi Himal trek?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm planning around 5 days trek for late May. I need some mid level trek suggestions.

Some options I planned:

Gosaikunda

Langtang

Open for suggestions

Is it possible to ride bike to manang solo on this date? Has the road been cleared and is mountain view good around this time of the year?

Trekking through

Australian Camp - Kliew/Kimche - Ghandruk - Tadapani - Ghorepani/Poon Hill - Tadapani - Ghandruk/Low Camp - High Camp - Mardi Himal Base Camp (lower) - Low Camp - Dudh Kharka - Dhampus

From Pokhara/Kande

I am trekking solo, starting 29th April 2026, my pace slow/moderate, enjoying nature and the relaxed vibes, would be covering 3-5 hours (at most) per day.

If anyone is going the way, and would love to connect. Leave a comment/DM.

P.s. Not looking for guides. My nature reserved/quiet mostly.

Heading to Ghorepani then making my way to Mardi Himal. I think ill be at base camp in about 8days.

Anyone recently returned that can share how the conditions are up there?

- Will i need to take crampons?

- How cold was it at night?

Any recent report much appreciated.

Hey guys,

Planning a quick 1N/2D trip from Kathmandu in early May and I’m stuck between Ama Yangri and Sailung.

Ama Yangri looks super tempting because of the sunrise views and the whole Langtang/Ganesh Himal panorama. But I’ve also heard Sailung has really nice green hills and a more chill vibe.

I don’t mind a bit of a climb, but I also don’t want something too hectic since it’s just a short trip. Mainly going for good views, some peace, and a break from the city.

Planning a Nepal trip in the first week of May for about 5 to 10 days. I’ll spend 1 to 2 days in Kathmandu and most of the time around Pokhara and Ghandruk.

I’m not very interested in city sightseeing. I’ll visit a few temples, but briefly. My main focus is nature, greenery, and especially clear mountain views, along with good sunrises and sunsets.

I’ll be traveling with my parents (around 50), so no hardcore trekking. Short treks of 3 to 4 hours on some days are fine if the views are worth it.

My main concern is visibility. I’ve heard that May can have heavy smog and fog, leading to almost no mountain views. I’ve even seen videos showing Ghandruk completely covered in haze.

Is this true? What should I plan or change to avoid this? Any suggestions would really help.

So iam planning to go gosaikunda lake trek on april 30 from bhaktapur if anyone planning on a same date please let me know...
