Travel Tips
- Autumn (October–November) has the clearest mountain views; the summer monsoon brings rain and leeches.
- Trekking regions require permits; check current rules, including whether a licensed guide is mandatory.
- Ascend slowly at altitude and learn the symptoms of altitude sickness before you go.
- Domestic mountain flights, such as to Lukla, are often delayed by weather. Build in spare days.
- Walk clockwise around stupas and temples.
