Discover Nepal.
Live the Journey.

The two main trekking seasons in Nepal are autumn (October–November) and spring (March–May). Autumn offers the clearest mountain views and stable weather; spring brings warmer days and blooming rhododendron forests. Lower-altitude trips like Chitwan safaris and Kathmandu Valley tours run comfortably from October to March, and wellness retreats operate year-round.

Our 14-day Everest Base Camp trek starts at $1,450 per person. That includes Kathmandu–Lukla flights, Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu permits, teahouse lodging with three meals daily, a licensed Sherpa guide with porters at a 1:2 ratio, and daily oximeter checks with evacuation coordination.

Not for every route. The Poon Hill Sunrise Trek (5 days, easy–moderate) is designed as a first Himalayan trek and reaches only 3,210m. Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit are challenging multi-week treks above 5,000m that require good fitness — we send a fitness preparation brief three months before departure.

Every itinerary follows acclimatization-first planning: never more than 500m of sleeping-altitude gain per day above 3,000m, with built-in rest days at Namche Bazaar and Manang. Guides carry pulse oximeters and first-aid kits on every departure, check clients daily, and coordinate helicopter evacuation if needed. Comprehensive travel insurance with heli-evacuation cover is required.

Yes. Nature Gateway Nepal is licensed by the Nepal Tourism Board (Reg. 1847/068) and every one of our 28 guides, porters and trip planners is Nepali — Sherpa, Gurung, Tamang and Tharu team members leading in their own home regions. All staff are paid a fair wage and insured.

Trip prices include permits, lodging, meals as listed, licensed guides, porter support, and ground transfers described in each itinerary. Everest Base Camp treks also include Kathmandu–Lukla flights. International flights, Nepal visa fees, travel insurance and personal gear are not included.

Yes — custom itineraries are our default. We build each trip around your pace, dates, fitness and interests, and adjust on the trail if conditions or your energy change. Tell us what you're dreaming of via the trip planner and a real trip planner in Kathmandu replies within 24 hours.

We keep groups small, use teahouse economies so money stays in mountain villages, follow carry-in-carry-out waste practice, and donate 3% of every booking to fund school supplies in the Solukhumbu region.
