Overview

Discover Everest

The Everest Region is a breathtaking land of towering peaks, ancient Sherpa villages, and timeless Himalayan traditions. Home to Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, the region offers an unforgettable journey through dramatic landscapes, high-altitude valleys, Buddhist monasteries, and vibrant mountain communities. From the lively trails of Namche Bazaar to the legendary Everest Base Camp, every step reveals a deeper connection with the Himalayas.
The journey takes you through the legendary Khumbu Valley, where every trail reveals spectacular views of Everest, Lhotse, Ama Dablam, Nuptse, and countless surrounding peaks. From the vibrant mountain town of Namche Bazaar to peaceful villages such as Tengboche, Dingboche, and Lobuche, each destination offers a glimpse into the unique culture and everyday life of the Himalayas.
Beyond the spectacular scenery, the Everest Region is deeply rooted in Sherpa heritage and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. Prayer flags flutter along mountain passes, mani walls line the trails, and centuries-old monasteries provide peaceful moments amid the rugged landscape. The famous Tengboche Monastery is a cultural highlight and offers magnificent views of the surrounding mountains.

Annapurna region FAQs

Permits, seasons and logistics for trekking in the Annapurna region.

Ask our team
01

Which permits do I need for the Annapurna region?

All treks need the Annapurna Conservation Area Permit (ACAP), currently NPR 3,000 for foreign nationals. Trekkers also need a TIMS card, issued through a registered trekking agency. We arrange both in Pokhara or Kathmandu before you start, using a copy of your passport and passport-size photos.
02

Do I need a guide to trek in Annapurna?

Since April 2023 Nepal’s rules require foreign trekkers to walk with a licensed guide in most trekking areas, including Annapurna. All our treks are led by licensed, experienced guides who handle permits, lodges and safety, and porters can be added to carry your main bag.
03

When is the best time to trek in the Annapurna region?

October and November offer the clearest mountain views and stable weather, while March to May brings warmer days and rhododendrons in bloom. Lower routes such as Poon Hill are good in winter. June to September is monsoon, with rain and leeches on the southern side, though the upper Mustang side stays dry.
04

How difficult is Annapurna Base Camp compared with the Circuit?

Annapurna Base Camp reaches 4,130 m and involves many stone steps but no high pass, so fit beginners usually manage it well. The Annapurna Circuit is longer and crosses Thorong La at 5,416 m, which needs proper acclimatisation and a pre-dawn start on summit day.
05

How do I get to the start of an Annapurna trek?

Pokhara is the gateway. It is about 25 minutes by air or six to eight hours by road from Kathmandu. Most treks start a one- to three-hour drive from Pokhara at trailheads such as Nayapul, Kande or Besisahar, and Jomsom can be reached by a short mountain flight.
06

What are teahouses like in Annapurna?

Annapurna has some of the best-run teahouses in Nepal. Expect simple twin rooms, shared bathrooms at higher lodges, a warm dining room and menus with dal bhat, noodles and pasta. Wi-Fi, hot showers and device charging are widely available, usually for a small extra charge higher up.
