Our trips to Nepal
Culture
Nepalis are considered to be extremely friendly spirits and have a strong loyalty to their family. Nepalese people generally reside in mountain communities and express themselves through the art of dance, music, religion and folklore.
Best time to visit
If you’re heading to Nepal to trek the peaks, plan your trip around October - December (autumn) to experience clear skies and exceptional mountain visibility. From February - April (spring) is also a pleasant period to visit as flowers begin to bloom and the sun shines.
