Trekking
If I am forced to have a guide then I would expect the following:
Full upfront price, none of the tipping garbage as I dislike the pressure of tips and what is reasonable..
A guide review process with legit customer feedback that isn’t filled with dodgy scam reviews.
A feedback and complaints process to get refunds if the guide is not providing the service I request..
Some transparency about what they earn by taking you to certain accommodation and food places, rather than the option you would like..
A law against tourist being constantly hounded by so called guides in Kathmandu and other cities – as it can spoil the tourist experience..
Anyone got anymore..
I’ve decided on the flight to Pokhara instead of the bus from Kathmandu because of the construction. Starting my trek in Chame for the Annapurna Circuit. What are the road conditions like from Pokhara to Besisahar and then to Chame?
I am hoping to do a 4-6 day trek sometime between March 12-26. I did the Poonhill trek in September and am looking for something similar in terms of length/difficulty. Does anyone have recommendations? I’m considering Langtang, Gosaikunda, or Mardi, but am open to other suggestions. I’d also be happy to team up if anyone else is going on a trek during this time!
Any recommendations for 2-3 days trek in Nepal?
What are some options for short trek from Pokhara in early January? Looking to do 3-4 days trekking.
Just finished the Mardi Himal – Poon hill trek, currently i have 9 days left before I fly out from Kathmandu. Can you suggest me some places around the central region for approximately 7 days? Preferably, I would like to fit in some small villages around Chitwan, Bandipur, Lumbini, and something else. Would be great if I could avoid long transits.. If you could suggest it in a chronological order, I would be very grateful.

The country said it would toughen regulations after several climbers died last year. But the rules will not go into effect this spring, and climbers want to know why.
Hundreds of climbers trapped near Mount Everest’s summit, hooked to a single safety line on a ridge with a several-thousand-foot drop, their oxygen cylinders emptying until a few people died from exposure.
The traffic jam during last spring’s climbing season, one of the deadliest on the planet’s highest mountain, underlined what veteran alpinists have been saying for years: Ego, inexperienced climbers, big payouts and chronic mismanagement – including the dangerous practice of cutting corners on vital safety equipment – have turned Everest into a circus at 29,000 feet.
After the season ended, Nepal’s government announced robust safety rules intended to weed out inexperienced climbers, reduce the number of people on Everest and prevent another pileup, which was blamed for some of the 11 deaths in 2019.
But now, the government says the new rules will not be imposed for the coming climbing season, which begins in April and lasts through May. Despite international scrutiny and intense pressure from climbing groups to tighten operations on Everest, officials say the rules need further review before they can be put in place.
