Trek guides, trip reports and advice from our team on the ground.
Route guides
Everything you need to plan the Annapurna Base Camp trek, built around the questions trekkers ask most: how long it takes, how hard it is, the avalanche zone between Deurali and Machhapuchhre Base Camp, the best months, ACAP permits and the guide rule, and what it really costs.
Seasonal guides
October, November, March and April are the best months to trek in Nepal. This month-by-month guide covers weather, mountain visibility, temperatures at altitude, crowds and festivals, and which of our treks suit each month, including monsoon and winter options.
Permits and rules
Since 1 April 2023 Nepal's rules say foreign trekkers need a licensed guide on most Himalayan routes, but what happens on the trail differs by region. Here is what applies in Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, Manaslu, Mustang and the Kathmandu Valley for 2026–2027.
