FAQ
What is the best season for trekking in the Himalayas?
The prime trekking seasons are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November). Spring offers blooming rhododendrons and moderate temperatures, while autumn provides clear skies and excellent mountain views. The monsoon season (June-August) brings heavy rain and leeches, making trekking difficult, and winter (December-February) can be extremely cold with heavy snowfall, especially at higher altitudes.
How fit do I need to be for a Himalayan trek?
Himalayan treks range in difficulty, but generally require a good level of cardiovascular fitness. You should be able to hike for 5-7 hours a day with a moderate pack, often on uneven terrain and steep ascents/descents. Prior experience with multi-day hiking is highly recommended. We provide detailed fitness recommendations for each specific trek to help you prepare adequately.
