  • About Nepal

    Nepal, nicknamed "the home of the gods", is a legendary country wedged between China and India.

    It is the mythical crossroads on the Silk Road where tolerance meets a multitude of ethnic groups.

    The Kathmandu Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an open-air museum. Palaces, temples, shrines, stupas, make it a high place of Buddhist and Hindu cultures.

    Nepal has a beautiful variety of landscapes from one extreme to the other between the Terai plains in the south and the highest mountains of the Himalayan range in the north. On the foothills of the mountains, terraced crops, tumultuous rivers, rhododendron forests, wildlife, are a real delight. The Himalayan chain with Mount Everest (8850m) also called "Chamulungma" (roof of the world) in the Sherpa language and its 240 peaks of over 6000m are a paradise for trekking and mountaineering.

    The climate in Nepal varies widely from region to region. The humid tropical Terai is the warmest part of the country. In summer, the temperature can rise to 35 °. In winter, the temperature varies between 5 ° and 12 °. In the valleys and low mountains, the climate is temperate. Summer is mild with temperatures around 26 °. Winter is below 0 ° at night and around 12 ° during the day. It rarely snows below 2000m. In the high peaks of the Himalayas the climate is freezing. The Kathmandu Valley has a temperate climate with heavy rainfall during the monsoon in July and August.

    The most recommended seasons for trekking are fall from mid-September to mid-December and spring from March to May. The weather is sunny, hot, with a clear sky allowing magnificent views of the mountains. The monsoon period in summer makes trekking more difficult with less visibility and a lot of rain. Winter from December to the end of February is a good season for the trek, however it is colder and snow is found at high altitude.
