Everest Base Camp Trek in October 2026: Current Conditions, Flights, Permits and Advice
The Everest region is open for the 2026 autumn season. Floods on 26 August 2026 damaged roads and bridges in the Trishuli and Bhotekoshi corridor north of Kathmandu, but the Khumbu valley lies outside the affected area. As of 13 October 2026, the Trekking Agencies’ Association of Nepal (TAAN) lists Everest among the destinations not affected by the floods. The operational risks on the Everest Base Camp (EBC) trail are the usual ones: Lukla flight delays, full lodges in peak season and altitude. This update covers route status, Lukla flights, permits and fees, weather, crowds, the Mani Rimdu festival and preparation. Flight and road conditions can change at short notice, so please confirm them with us 48 hours before departure.

Manaslu Circuit Trek: A Complete Guide to Itinerary, Permits and Preparation
The Manaslu Circuit is a 14 to 18 day teahouse trek around Mount Manaslu (8,163 m), the eighth-highest mountain in the world. It crosses the 5,160 m Larkya La pass and passes through the Nubri region of northern Gorkha. Because it lies in a restricted area, daily visitor numbers are far lower than on the Everest and Annapurna routes, which makes it one of the most rewarding long treks in Nepal for experienced hikers.
Mera Peak Climb and Trek: Itinerary, Permits, Difficulty and Preparation
Mera Peak (6,476 m) is the highest trekking peak in Nepal and one of the most popular first Himalayan climbs. The route runs through the quiet Hinku valley south of Everest, then up a glaciated slope to a summit with views of five 8,000 m mountains. It is a non-technical climb by mountaineering standards, but it combines a long high-altitude trek with a roped glacier ascent, so it needs real fitness and acclimatisation.
The Captivating Wildlife of Nepal
Due to Nepal’s extreme geography, its biomes range from tropical to arctic with everything in between. This wild and biodiverse country has humid lowlands where one-horned rhinos and leopards meander and high cliffs where snow leopards and blue sheep leap from sheer face to sheer face. While on treks in Nepal it’s possible to see stunning animals found nowhere else in the world, such as red pandas and Himalayan butterflies. In the country’s national parks you can see rare river dolphins, bizarre looking crocodiles, and take jungle safaris to scout out tigers and leopards. Explore with us in this blog post some of Nepal’s most fantastic wildlife!
The 20 Best Places to Visit in Nepal
Home to the world’s highest mountains, most visitors to Nepal head straight for the Himalayas. While it’s undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest trekking destinations, it would be ridiculous to assume that all Nepal has to offer is the Himalayas. It’s a country with an incredibly diverse and rich history; a lavish tapestry of interwoven cultures, vibrant colors and experiences. Here the opportunities for adventure abound, safari through tropical forests in search of rhinos and tigers, visit the world’s holiest pilgrimage sites, or paraglide over turquoise lakes. The possibilities are endless.
7 Must See Nepalese Festivals

It’s no surprise that in a country so rich in culture, customs and colors, the festivals are breathtaking and intricate.

It has been said there’s not a day in Nepal that goes by without a festival being celebrated. Here are some of the most fantastic festivals this ethnically diverse country celebrates!
