Advantages & Disadvantages of trekking in Nepal

In the month June, July and August Nepal endure rainstorm season. Trekking in Nepal in these months isn’t abundantly prescribed since the overwhelming precipitation makes the trails sloppy and elusive. Likewise, you may need to experience flight deferrals or wiping out which can manifest regularly amid the monsoon.In different nations, for example, Sri Lanka, the storm isn’t an issue at everything except in Nepal it is a marginally unique issue.

Advantages:

Less voyagers. All things considered off season you can move around in spots like Pokhara without being shoulder to bear with other occasion goers. Be that as it may, there are as yet a couple of guests from nations, for example, China and India to get away from their late spring warmth.

Shoddy airfare. Contrasted with going at different occasions in the year, the airfare is moderately shoddy. Be that as it may, for the individuals who would prefer not to fly with Air India, the less expensive airfare enables you to spending plan for a more premium carrier.

Better transport. This point is a touch of a risky one as the ‘better transport’ is as yet confined, hot and sporadic. In contrast with the primary celebration season (September-November) where transport is rare and every one of the things recorded are about 10x more regrettable.

Rainstorm mitigates the residue. In the primary urban areas like Kathmandu and even Pokhara nowadays there is an enormous issue with contamination and when blended with all the residue it is only a bad dream. Simply strolling to work or to the shops abandons you with a sickening cerebral pain. At any rate, in the storm the rain washes away a portion of the residue leaving the air that bit more endurable.

Less expensive lodgings with greater accessibility. As there are less vacationers, the inns will readily need to house you. As far as I can tell this has prompted more elite rooms with better administration at a much less expensive cost!

Some wonderful days. In the midst of the rain and extraordinary warmth there truly are some excellent days in Nepal in the storm season. You may even get some sunny mornings where you can see mountains circumscribing the slopes out yonder.

Disadvantages:

No mountains. The executioner con; Nepal is renowned for its rocky perspectives yet in the event that there is no reasonable sky at that point there are no mountains. You may luck out if there is a sunny morning, yet I wouldn’t depend on it. However, that is constantly another reason to return to Nepal, isn’t that so?

No exercises. The storm makes it troublesome for any of the daring exercises to run. That incorporates paragliding, zip-wiring, bungee bouncing, jeep safaris and pretty much anything fun you needed to do while in Nepal. Notwithstanding trekking ends up troublesome and restricted amid the rainstorm because of the wellbeing of the trekkers. Likewise, any water related exercises e.g. boating, sculling and water floating turn out to be rare because of the rising levels and erratic nature of the water.

Parasites/Earthworms/Mosquitoes. The initial two I had never experienced coming to Nepal so I was so terrified when I saw them wriggling around attempting to discover skin to jump onto. On the off chance that you do get a bloodsucker or worm connected to you then you can sprinkle salt on them or hold up until the point that they have wrapped up the blood. Neither one of the options is extremely decent so attempt to cover all skin when strolling through more lush territories. Mosquitoes are particularly high amid off season, however fortunately when it has been raining then the mosquitoes seek refuge which implies no chomps.

Hard to drive. The greater part of the streets in Nepal are rough and sloppy (and on slopes). In this manner, when blended with water it very well may be a formula for a debacle. This just applies to more country regions yet it implies that entrance to these spots winds up constrained or at times beyond reach.

No celebrations. Nepal is known for its variety of Hindu and Buddhist celebrations so on the off chance that you need to come to Nepal for these, at that point don’t come in storm. In spite of the fact that there are some neighborhood customs, pujas and love days they are rare and furthermore nothing contrasted with the huge celebration months for Dashain and Tihar.

Green verdant vegetables and serving of mixed greens. The storm makes it troublesome for vacationers to eat verdant vegetables and servings of mixed greens and can cause many stomach issues. This even incorporates the little hacked cucumber, radish and carrots that are regularly offered nearby daal-bhat. Vacationers going in storm season will simply need to make a point to maintain a strategic distance from or completely wash these vegetables.
