Trekking in Nepal: A First-Timer's Guide
By Travelvania Team ·
Nepal has treks for every fitness level, from three-day ridge walks near Pokhara to three-week circuits around Annapurna.
Pick the right route
| Trek | Days | Max altitude |
|---|---|---|
| Poon Hill | 4–5 | 3,210 m |
| Annapurna Base Camp | 7–10 | 4,130 m |
| Everest Base Camp | 12–14 | 5,364 m |
Pack light, layer smart
- A warm down jacket for evenings in the teahouses.
- Broken-in boots. Blisters end more treks than altitude does.
- A refillable bottle and purification tablets.
Acclimatise
Climb high, sleep low, and build in a rest day for every 1,000 m gained above 3,000 m.
