Does anyone know what rating sleeping bag I should get. I can find info about daytime temperatures, but nothing about the night

Looking into visiting Nepal for the first time at the end of January and we’re wanting to combine a couple of permit hikes with lots of day hikes which don’t need permits. Thinking of around Kathmandu and Pokhara. Can anyone help point me in the right direction to find out what day hikes are available without permits in these areas.

Can someone tell me about flight tickets to Lukla and back ??Can it be bought in Kathmandu after reaching for same or next day or should it be taken online in advance???

I keep seeing people carry big bags on pictures that are in group tours but I’m wondering is it necessary to have a big bag if you have porters carrying everything for you, if so what do you have in the hiking bag?

Anybody doing EBC trek and wishes to return by helicopter to Lukla?

hi , has anyone done the EBC trek with helicopter return ?

Is it possible to travel from Pharping to Chitwan by bus, or it has to be from Kathmandu to Chitwan? (I would rather not go back to Kathmandu 

Any advice please on how to get bulk rupees cash (about $US2000 worth, or NPR 265,000) with a credit card in Kathmandu for 3 people doing the EBC trek. ATMs have withdrawal limits so do not want to run around many ATMs to get the cash. Want to try to do it in 1 ir 2 transactions.

Please advise if I have to exchange dollars to rupees or I can pay dollars in Kathmandu and EBC trek? Which place has the best currency rate?

Plan the EBC trip Nov 2023, will just hire a guide cum porter, is it okay not to book tea house in advance during the high season?
