We did a trekking tour to Chisapani with Bishnu our guide. He is a very experienced guide, we felt safe and comfortable. We had a great view of the mountains. Bishnu has everything planned for us and we can only recommend him.

Bishnu is one of a kind guide. A great knowledge of the Annapurnas, it is such a pleasure to be guided by him, he is just amazing, kind and brilliant. Just looking forward to go again with him. Highly recommend.

My wife and I recently did the Annapurna Circuit, with Bishnu as our guide. We had a fantastic time. Bishnu took care of us at every stage, from greeting us at the airport to arranging our permits and transport. On the trail he was confident, courteous and highly knowledgeable. His liaison with local hotels ensured that we had the best rooms available. We especially loved how he took us to some of the lesser-known hotels, bringing well needed income to local Nepali families, without compromising on our experience. On the toughest parts of the trail he was supportive and encouraging, whilst giving us the space we needed to set our own pace. This is our third trek with Zeal Nepal Trek & Expedition, and we’re delighted to be a returning customer. We simply wouldn’t trek with another Company. Perfect in all respects.

Trekking in Nepal: common questions

Do I need previous trekking experience to trek in Nepal?

Not always. Nepal offers treks for all levels, from easy routes like Poon Hill to challenging high-altitude treks like Everest Base Camp. We help you choose based on your fitness and comfort.

When is the best time to go trekking in Nepal?

The main seasons are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November), with clear skies, stable weather and the best mountain views. Winter suits lower treks, and Upper Mustang works even in the monsoon.

Do I need permits for trekking in Nepal?

Yes. Most treks need a national park or conservation area permit and, in some regions, a TIMS card or restricted-area permit. We arrange all of them before your trek starts — see trekking permits in Nepal.

Is trekking in Nepal safe?

Yes, with proper planning. Our experienced guides, acclimatisation days and safety routines keep risks low. Read is trekking in Nepal safe?

What kind of accommodation can I expect?

On most treks you stay in teahouses — simple, clean family-run lodges with twin rooms and a warm dining room. Kathmandu and Pokhara nights are in hotels.

What food is available during the trek?

Teahouses serve dal bhat, noodles, pasta, rice, soups and local dishes. Vegetarian food is everywhere, and other diets can usually be catered for.

How do you deal with altitude sickness?

We follow a proper acclimatisation schedule, walk at a safe pace and check everyone’s health daily. Our guides are trained to recognise symptoms and act early. Read our altitude guide.

What should I pack for a trek?

Good boots, warm layers, a down jacket and a sleeping bag for higher treks, plus sun protection and a small first-aid kit. Each trip page has a full packing list, and most gear can be rented in Kathmandu.
