Mountaineering in nepal

Nepal is the ultimate destination for mountaineers, offering some of the highest and most iconic peaks in the world, including Mount Everest. It’s a country where mountaineering history runs deep, and the Himalayan landscape is both breathtaking and challenging. Climbing in Nepal provides the chance to experience high-altitude adventure in the world’s most dramatic mountain ranges, rich cultural encounters with Sherpa communities, and access to well-established trekking routes. Whether you're a beginner looking for your first 6000-meter peak or a seasoned mountaineer seeking a new challenge, Nepal will captivate you and leave a permanent mark in your heart.

Pretty much everything is arranged from the capital Kathmandu - with one neighborhood 'Thamel' the place you'll find all expedition agencies and gear shops. It's in my opinion one of the best places to buy gear in the world. They have real equipment at exception prices - with a huge range. There's also loads of fake stuff, and everything in between. 

The best seasons for climbing in Nepal are Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November).

• Spring: The weather is warmer, and the days are longer, making it ideal for summit attempts. However, visibility may be slightly lower due to dust in the air.

• Autumn: Considered the best time for climbing due to crystal-clear skies and cooler temperatures. The monsoon rains settle the dust, providing clearer views and making the routes less slippery.

Avoid climbing during the summer monsoon (June-August) due to heavy rains, unstable slopes, and limited visibility. Winter (December-February) is extremely cold, especially at higher altitudes, and is only recommended for the most experienced climbers.
