Introduction

Nepal is a country with many diverse walks and hill walks. Four popular routes are featured although these are simply examples of what is available.

• The Pokhara Valley with its lakes and superb mountain vistas is undoubtedly the best area for short treks between November and March (when temperatures are colder).
• The Seti Khola Valley is excellent for easy treks in the winter months from mid November to late February.
• The Panchase Lekh route is best enjoyed between mid-November and mid-May.
• The Kathmandu Valley route offers wonderful mountain vistas through the autumn and winter months.
