Trekking in Nepal

Adventuring tips

Don’t travel alone
Nepal is beautiful but the terrain can also be
treacherous. Always ensure you’re trekking
or travelling with someone who knows where
they’re going to avoid getting lost.

Dress appropriately
‘Appropriately’ varies wildly depending on
where in Nepal you’re visiting, but shoulders
should always be covered and shorts shouldn’t
rise above the knee where possible.
Adventure ethically
Nepal’s tourist industry has taken great strides
in recent years, but it still pays to do some
research into your wildlife tour operator to
check their environmental record.
