Want to go hiking in Nepal and enjoy the view of the magnificent mountains.
How I did it: Partnered with trekking company Journeys in Michigan, and they arranged the transportation between San Francisco and Pokhara, Nepal and set us up with a local guide and porters.

and worth doing over and over. I’ve been trekking in Nepal twice, for between a week and two weeks each time. The two times were completely different, the first was in the middle of nowhere near the Tibetan border where trekking was actually illegal and some of the villagers had never seen white people before (little kids were terrified of my dad who is quite tall), the second was in the Everest Region, a much more touristy area, although we were there in the end of December and were practically the only foreigners.
Hopefully I’ll get a chance to go trekking again soon since I’ll be living in Nepal starting in less than two weeks.
One of the best experiences of my life was hiking to everest base camp. It was completely phenomenal. And not horrendously expensive. Having said that, it takes a while, because of acclimatisation etc. But sooooo worth it. Go go go. Be on top of the world.
It’s excellent, just make sure you have good clean water or sterilising tablets! A sun hat might be useful too, maybe some level of fitness would be a plus.
