Nepal is also known as the ‘Trekker's Paradise’, and there’s a serious reason for this. From well-trodden trails to off-the-beaten paths, lush forests and alpine meadows to rugged mountain peaks and glacial valleys, and with the panoramic views of the surroundings, Nepal has it all!

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned trekker, Nepal offers countless trekking destinations, with options to customize as per your needs. What’s even more fascinating is that every region gives you a very different perspective, even if they fall within the same protected area.

But it’s also true that the beautiful destinations of Nepal come with complex trekking permits, difficulty in choosing the right season, and mostly, concerns around safety. That’s why trekking agencies exist in Nepal to ensure everything goes smoothly!

And let’s be honest. Even choosing an agency is a tough task. You require checking reviews, doubting prices, and worrying about those complex logistics. Well, if you choose Altitude Himalaya for your treks, you seriously don’t have to think about these things at all…

Look. We’re going to be straight. We want you to have the best experiences when you’re in our motherland, and especially when trekking in a country that many agree is the eighth wonder of the world.

Our prices, along with itineraries and services, have been curated after years of experimentation with thousands of guests. We’ve taken suggestions from locals, shared our insights within the travel industry, and categorized and selected the eight best trekking regions in Nepal.

Each of the following categories makes it easier for you to navigate within our website and select the best trekking destination that suits your needs. Note that there are numerous packages available within, and even if you don’t find one that fits your needs, Altitude Himalaya is always open for customizations!

Let’s have a short overview of what to expect from each of the regions:

Annapurna

The Annapurna region is famous for its incredible mountain views, including Annapurna Base Camp, Ghorepani-Poon Hill, and Tilicho Lake.

You’ll trek through beautiful forests filled with rhododendrons. The deep Kali Gandaki Gorge and ancient temples add to the unique charm of this area.

You’ll also experience the warm hospitality of local communities like the Gurung and Magar. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for trekking here, with clear skies and comfortable weather.

Langtang

Langtang region is one of Nepal’s top trekking spots after Everest and Annapurna. Known for its stunning mountain views, sacred lakes like Gosaikunda Lake, and rich Tibetan Buddhist culture, the region offers a mix of natural beauty and heritage.

You’ll trek through forests of rhododendron, fir, and pine. The friendly Langtangpa people live mainly by tourism and farming, and you’ll get a chance to taste their famous yak cheese too.

Unlike other regions, Langtang is great to visit any season if you pick the right trekking destination. Spring and autumn bring clear skies and flowers, while monsoon is perfect for wildflowers around sacred lakes. And winter is best for snow-capped views on lower-altitude treks.

Dolpo: Lower and Upper

Dolpo is a mystical Himalayan region known for its untouched wilderness, rich biodiversity, and unique Tibetan Buddhist culture. Trekking here means exploring remote trails, ancient monasteries, and the stunning Phoksundo Lake, all while experiencing life far from modern amenities.

Whether you choose the more accessible Lower Dolpo or the rugged Upper Dolpo, you’ll encounter breathtaking mountain passes, rare wildlife like snow leopards and musk deer, and vibrant local traditions preserved over centuries.

The best times to visit Dolpo are spring and autumn, when the weather is clear and temperatures are ideal for trekking. Accommodations are simple and local here, offering an authentic cultural immersion.

Everest or Khumbu

The Everest region, home to the world’s highest peaks, including Mt. Everest, Lhotse, and Cho Oyu, offers breathtaking Himalayan landscapes and rich Sherpa culture. Trekking here involves traversing alpine forests, glaciers, and high mountain passes.

But you have to remember that the treks can be challenging due to high altitude and longer days. Some popular treks include the classic Everest Base Camp, Kala Patthar for stunning sunrise views, the Gokyo Lakes, and the demanding Three Passes Trek.

With various customizable options and all necessary permits included in your package, visiting during spring or autumn promises clear skies and perfect temperatures. Staying in local tea houses and experiencing festivals like Mani Rimdu deepens your connection to the Sherpa and other indigenous communities, making your Everest journey truly immersive!

Manaslu

Nestled somewhere between Everest and Annapurna, the Manaslu Region offers a less crowded trekking experience with stunning views and rich biodiversity. Home to endangered species like snow leopards and red pandas and vast forests of rhododendron, oak, and pine, this region’s highlight is the challenging Larkya La Pass at 5,106m.

Treks to Manaslu Base Camp and the remote Tsum Valley reveal breathtaking mountain vistas of Manaslu, Himalchuli, Ngadi Chuli, and more, promising a unique adventure away from the crowds.

Popular treks in this region include the Manaslu Circuit, Tsum Valley, and combined options with customizable extensions like the Annapurna-Manaslu Three Passes. Due to its restricted status, trekking here requires permits and licensed guides.

The Manaslu region is truly rich in Gurung, Magar, Nubri, and Tsumba cultures, deeply influenced by Tibetan Buddhism, with vibrant festivals and warm hospitality. Spring and autumn are the best trekking times, while the high-altitude terrain demands preparation and professional guidance for a safe journey.

Eastern Nepal

Eastern Nepal’s trekking highlights lie mostly in Koshi Province, including Taplejung, Sankhuwasabha, Solukhumbu, and Dolakha. Here you’ll find the stunning Kanchenjunga and Makalu Base Camps, the sacred Pathibhara Devi Temple, and peaceful trails with fewer crowds.

The region offers diverse landscapes, from tropical forests to alpine meadows, and wildlife like tigers, musk deer, and Himalayan black bears. You’ll also experience the rich local cultures of Sherpa, Limbu, Rai, and Tamang communities, with unique festivals and warm hospitality.

The best time to visit here is spring and autumn for clear views and good weather. If you want to explore a less crowded, authentic side of Nepal, Eastern Nepal is an absolute perfection!

Western Nepal

Western Nepal, aka Sudurpaschim, offers remote, less-crowded trekking with deep nature immersion. The terrain and culture here are very different from central and eastern Nepal. Even the transport can be tricky!

Popular treks in the region include Badimalika, Humla–Limi Valley, Api Himal Base Camp, Saipal Base Camp, and Rara Lake. After trekking, towns like Nepalgunj, Surkhet, and Lumbini make great places to relax.

Trekking here means encountering warm, hospitable people and unforgettable landscapes. The best seasons are autumn and spring, but each season offers something unique. Whether you want challenging mountain treks or peaceful lakeside escapes, West Nepal has it all!
