Dreamland of mountain visit

Nepal’s unique brand of teahouse trekking means you can hike from lodge to lodge through magnificent scenery for weeks at a time carrying little more than a day pack. For many people the Everest region is their ultimate goal. Kick things off with the exhilarating flight to Lukla, from where it’s a two-day walk to the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar.

To help with acclimatisation make the day hike to the Sherpa village of Khunde for its excellent views, before stopping off at the Everest Bakery in Khumjung for warm apple pie. Budget 17 days for a return trip to Base Camp, but consider adding on a week to detour to the glaciers of the Gokyo Valley. 
The other main option for a teahouse trek is the Annapurna region. Roads have been nibbling at the ends of the 21-day Annapurna Circuit for years now but the eight-day section to Manang and Jomsom still ranks as one of the world’s great walks, offering charming Tibetan-style villages and amazing mountain views.

For a shorter trek consider the ten-day Annapurna Sanctuary, a walk into an amphitheatre of 8,000m peaks, or hike in the foothills to the villages of Ghandruk and Ghorepani for a fine five-day loop.

The best and busiest months for trekking are October and November, with April to May a close second. Pack a down jacket and consider the last week of November into early December for clear weather and fewer crowds.
