A mountaineer must not only learn climbing but also understand the mountains.Mountaineering is an art and science and not merely physical activity.
Whether on a climbing expedition or a trekking adventure in the Himalaya, every mountain enthusiast should visit the Himalaya. With options for fit hikers and experienced mountaineers alike, the Himalaya has a lot to offer. The landscape and its people are inseparable and yet are often in stark contrast with one another. The Sherpa and Tibetan peoples have been living in the high mountains of the Himalaya for 50,000 years and have rich traditions entwined with their mountain surroundings. The scenic beauty of the Himalaya unfolds as climbers ascend further up its deep valley corridors to the higher elevations and their base camps. Legendary peaks come into view and then, days later, dominate your field of view, and perhaps plant the seeds of future adventures.
Nepal is a stunning mountain kingdom that straddles the mighty Himalayas, boasting the world’s highest snow peaks and deepest lush valleys.

The ideal times of year to go mountain climbing in the Himalayas are from October to November and March to May. These two shoulder seasons fall in between the monsoon rains of the summer and the harsh winter.During these autumn and spring months, expect average daily temperatures of 10 ºC (50 ºF) or less in the valleys and temperatures well below freezing up on the mountains. Autumn is relatively wet compared with spring. However, November tends to be the driest month of the year.
Remember Climbing Machhapuchhare is forbidden, a rarity in a country like Nepal that has embraced mountain tourism so enthusiastically that even the world’s highest point gets overcrowded.
