Spring (March – May)
During Spring you will experience warm temperatures at lower altitudes and moderate temperatures higher up. The chances of clear, unobstructed mountain views are good, and it is also a good time to see Nepal’s flowers blossom.
Autumn (September – November)
This is the preferred trekking season in Nepal. You will be almost guaranteed excellent mountain views, but be wary – this is the peak trekking season in Nepal, so be sure to book your flights in advance and be prepared for more crowded trekking routes. During this time, you’ll also be able to see and participate in the biggest festivals in Nepal – Dasain and Tihar.
The trek to Muktinath makes up the last section of the Annapurna circuit, but can be undertaken as a standalone route in which you will still experience much of the splendour of the region. You will begin at Jomsom (2,800m), having flown there from Pokhara on an exciting small-aircraft flight. Walking in this region is fairly easy, and along the way you will see great mountain views, the Kali Gandaki river, and dry, desert-like areas similar to those found in Tibet. The walk to Muktinath is not only a commercial trek for adventurous tourists, but also a place of pilgrimage for Buddhists and Hindus alike.
From Jomsom, you will first trek to Kagbeni, where you will spend your first night, gradually getting used to the altitude. Muktinath is the highest point on the trek (3,800m), and so while you may be susceptible to altitude sickness, this should not be so severe. For that reason, this trek is especially well suited for beginners. You will be able to see the wonderful apple orchards of Marpha, to bathe in the hot springs of Tatopani (which literally translates as ‘hot water’), and of course, see the temple of Muktinath. A varied and intriguing route, Rhino Adventure Treks will assure that you get the best out of this experience; exploring the great valleys and mountains of this spectacular region.
