What are the options for trekking?
Among many famous tourist destinations, here are some of the popular ones that you might be interested in:
Annapurna Base Camp Trek
One of the most breathtaking paths in the area is the ABC trek. As a quicker and less expensive option to the Everest Base Camp trip, this route is popular with hikers.
The base camp is in a surreal location because it is flanked by some of the highest mountains in the world, including Hiunchuli (8091 m), Annapurna I (8091 m), Annapurna South (7219 m), and the fishtail-shaped Machapuchhre (6993 several.

Upper Mustang Region Trek
The Upper Mustang Trek is all about discovering the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Mustang's hidden world. It's as far away as it can get. Mustang has been protected from mass tourism for a long time because it is hard to get to.
It is now known as the last place where traditional Tibetan culture is still alive. Due to its long, rich, and complicated history, Upper Mustang is one of the most interesting places to trek in the Himalayas. It is a special treat to be able to trek in the Upper Mustang. You will see how real mountain people live.
For many years, they didn't have much contact with the rest of Nepal, so they were able to keep their rich cultural traditions. Upper Mustang is a part of the Tibetan plateau, so trekking there is a lot like trekking in Tibet in many ways.
Before 1950, the district of Mustang was a separate kingdom that was part of Nepal. The last king, the Raja of Mustang, still lives in Lo Manthang, the city that was once the capital.

Is it possible to mountaineering during Christmas?
Nepal is a picturesque country best renowned for the Himalayan Mountains' high peaks and vast valleys. With its beautiful splendor and magnificent mountains, Nepal has become a key draw for thousands of mountaineers and hikers from all over the world.
With 1310 known Himalayan peaks above 6000 meters, 326 are accessible for climbing and mountaineering. Nepal has eight of the fourteen 8000-meter-high peaks, including Mount Everest (the highest peak in the world), Kanchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Annapurna I.
Traveling in Nepal is suitable for all seasons. Nepal has four seasons: spring (March-May), summer (June-August), autumn (September-November), and winter (December - February). However, spring and fall are the greatest seasons for climbing and hiking since the weather is nice, the temperature is comfortable (not too cold, not too hot), and there is less rain.
April, May, October, and November are the busiest months since they are the finest months for hiking weather-wise, and trails become congested during this period. Even though December is the coldest month in the Himalayas, island peak climbing is still doable.
Summer is monsoon season, and it rains everywhere, whereas winter is brutally cold higher up in the mountains. However, because there are fewer people in the winter, some people like hiking at that time, albeit some routes may be restricted owing to avalanche risk or too much snow in the area.
Hence, climbing mountains during Christmas is quite risky also government might not permit it during this time.

Nepal’s spring 2023?
We, Ascent Trails have always an exciting trip and package waiting for you. Our objective will always be to offer exciting excursions and complete service.
Above 2000 meters, the spring season brings a wide variety of wildflowers into bloom, with rhododendrons particularly stunning to behold. As the woodland dances higher, the beautifully painted rhododendron hillsides appear to be a trekking paradise.
Orchids and Magnolia are very important elements of Spring Trekking in Nepal. Because of this, springtime trekking is sometimes referred to as rhododendron trekking. The majority of the path appears to be covered in a lavish carpet fit.
Furthermore, the view of the enormous mountains is breathtaking. While strolling through such forests and jungles, birds frequently croon sweet melodies, and large monkeys called "Langurs" with long tails and black mouths can be seen bouncing about trees.
You'll undoubtedly think it's one of your best travel experiences ever. Higher altitude trekking is made more enjoyable and thrilling for all activities by the Nepal Spring Trip.
In the spring, temperatures are moderately warm at lower elevations and relatively cool at elevations exceeding 4000 meters, which makes for stunning and fantastic mountain views. On some days, the weather is unfathomably perfect, while on others, the clouds around noon or in the late afternoon are perfect for lounging and reading.
The evenings turn sparklingly clear just as you start to fret about the weather for the next day. Although March and April are frequently drier months than May, May has the benefit of having more alpine blooms.
In Nepal, there are more than 32 different types of rhododendron. In comparison to other rhododendrons, the ones found here are special because of their size.
Parts of the trekking track, particularly in the Annapurna Region, will transform into a lovely garden in the spring, drawing your attention as you hike there.
In addition to these, a few religious celebrations like Holi Festival (Color Festival), Shivaratri (Shiva Festival), Buddha Jayanti (Birth of Buddha), and ChaiteDashain also occur in the spring, which heightens the appeal of your Nepal trip.
We're always here if you have any questions. Make sure you are safe and choose your actions with strength and intelligence. We hope to see you soon in the Himalayas, where we can share happy laughter and beautiful stories. Again, stay safe and healthy.
