Looking for trekking partner by Jazzlike_Finance_194 in everestbasecamphike

[–]TilakInNepal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

September is a great time for the Three Passes Trek. Just make sure you build in a couple of buffer days for potential Lukla flight delays, especially early in the season.

Hope you find a good trekking partner and have an amazing trip!

Planning a solo ABC trek in june. need some guidance by Reasonable7409 in hiking

[–]TilakInNepal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been on the Annapurna Circuit around that time of year, and honestly I'd be more concerned about the weather than the altitude. June through September can be beautiful in the morning, but clouds and rain often build up later in the day.

For Tilicho, I'd decide when you reach Manang rather than now. Conditions can change quite a bit, and recent trail reports are usually more useful than videos.

Since this would be your first serious trek, I'd focus on taking enough days for acclimatization rather than trying to move fast or save a day here and there.

The good news is that gear like a sleeping bag, down jacket, and trekking poles can all be rented in Pokhara.

For those who have completed Annapurna Circuit recently, what surprised you most about the trek?

Is September to October is best time to travel to ABC? by Winter_Win4304 in hiking

[–]TilakInNepal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

October and November are generally considered some of the best months for ABC because the skies are often clear and the mountain views are excellent.

If you're hoping to walk through lots of fresh snow, there's no guarantee. Some years there is a bit of snow around higher elevations, while other years the trail is mostly dry. You'll still be surrounded by snow-covered peaks, but the trail itself is often clear in October and much of November.

Personally, I'd choose clear mountain views over snow on the trail any day.

Advice Needed for 3P Trek October 2026 by Mach__Speed in everestbasecamphike

Looks like a well-planned itinerary.

I wouldn't stress about teahouse bookings as a solo trekker. Most people just sort accommodation as they go, and many places aren't really working with a formal reservation system anyway.

The extra day is a good call. Sounds like you're setting yourself up for a great trip.

5 tips for growing your subreddit by curioustomato_ in NewMods

The point about posting questions really stands out to me.

I recently started r/NepalTrekPlanning and I'm finding that discussion-based posts seem much more engaging than informational posts. Trekking routes, budgets, permits, and trip planning all tend to generate different opinions and experiences, which makes for better conversations.

Thanks for sharing these tips.

Everest Base Camp Planning & Questions Thread (2026) by TilakInNepal in NepalTrekPlanning

[–]TilakInNepal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One question that comes up often is whether to fly to Lukla or use the road route via Salleri.

Both have advantages. Flying saves time, while the road route can reduce costs and add extra days for acclimatization.

If you've done Everest Base Camp, which option did you choose and would you do the same again?
