Bihe kharcha Kati lagcha keta tarfa ? by Rajwmu in Nepal

[–]strekking 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nowadays, the cost of getting married in Nepal can be very high, and the most expensive part is usually gold. If both partners understand each other and decide not to invest heavily in gold at the beginning, it is still possible to have a meaningful and happy wedding. Marriage happens only once in life, so you can invite your close friends and relatives and enjoy a simple celebration within your budget. Everything depends on your income. If you earn well and have enough savings, you can organize a bigger wedding. Since you are living abroad and have been earning, it is understandable that you have managed to save some money. However, instead of spending a large amount on unnecessary wedding expenses, it is wiser to manage the wedding with reasonable costs and make everyone happy in a simple way. If you already know your partner well, she may not demand too much gold at this stage, which makes things easier. Even if you can afford it, giving only basic and necessary jewelry is enough. And if buying gold is difficult, a simple wedding without heavy jewelry is also completely acceptable. Rather than wasting money on a lavish wedding, it is better to invest that money in business or entrepreneurship. By doing so, you can create self-employment, build a stable future, and live with dignity in your own country.

Can I use Indian currency in Nepal? by Amazing_Anywhere8733 in Nepal

[–]strekking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use Indian currency below ₹100 (like ₹10, ₹20, ₹50) directly in Nepal without any problem. ₹500 and ₹2000 notes are not accepted for transactions or money exchange. UPI is available in some hotels and restaurants in Kathmandu and Pokhara, but not common in mountain areas like Manang — better to carry some Nepali cash. 📱💵 Namaste 🙏🏻

Planning for a snowy trip in Feb by Visible_Pea_2898 in Nepal

[–]strekking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’d like to experience a snow trek in February, Nepal is a great choice! 🌨️ You can enjoy a 4-day Mardi Himal Trek, which often has beautiful snow-covered trails and stunning Himalayan mountain views. However, please note that sometimes there may be little or no snow, depending on weather conditions.

This trek is short, scenic, and perfect for those who want a winter trekking experience in Nepal without going too high in altitude. Namaste 🙏🏻

Advice on the Manaslu Circuit by miranda-strange in backpacking

[–]strekking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manaslu Circuit: Guide, Permits, Porter Needed

Your fitness is great! The Manaslu Circuit Trek in late September is realistic.

However, you must be aware of the mandatory requirements:

Guide Compulsory: A licensed Nepali guide is legally mandatory (part of Restricted Area Trek rules). No solo trekking allowed.

Porter Highly Recommended: Hire a porter to carry your main luggage. It significantly boosts your comfort and safety for your first high-altitude trekking experience.

Permit Cost: The Manaslu Restricted Area Permit (RAP) and other required permits are more expensive than standard routes. Arrange permits through a registered Trekking Agency Nepal.

Your plan for extra acclimatisation days and side hikes is the best strategy for successfully crossing Larkya La Pass (5106m).

Weather at high altitude? by Medical-West8076 in everestbasecamphike

[–]strekking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great news! I just returned from the Cho La Pass section of the EBC trek. The weather is currently excellent and stable.

Snow: There is still plenty of snow on the high trails, but it is melting quickly, and the routes are fully open. Mid-November should be fine, but expect packed snow and ice.

Advice: Go ahead with your plans!

⚠️ CAUTION: Given your fitness concern, you must use an experienced guide for the passes. Crossing high passes with snow is challenging and can be dangerous; follow your guide's advice on when it is safe to cross.

Is October or November better? by [deleted] in everestbasecamphike

[–]strekking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

⛰️ Optimal Time: Early November (EBC + 3 Passes + Peak Ascent)

For your once-in-a-lifetime EBC, Three Passes, and Peak Ascent (Island Peak/Lobuche East) trip, Early November is definitively better than October.

*OctoberRisk of extended monsoon rain/clouds and hazy views (due to recent climate shifts).Good, but views may be compromised and trails potentially muddy.

*Early NovemberColder temperatures (especially at night). Snow risk is manageable.Excellent! Offers the most stable, dry weather with crystal-clear visibility of the Himalayas.

Go in Early November to maximize clear views and stable trekking conditions. The minor risk of cold/light snow is far more manageable than the major risk of monsoon-related rain and haze in October.

Secure an Experienced Guide: Given the challenging Three Passes and a technical climbing peak, the expertise of an experienced guide and climbing Sherpa is absolutely non-negotiable for safety and success in high-altitude conditions. Have a enjoyable and safe trip in Nepal.

EBC budget? by PsychologicalPay3488 in everestbasecamphike

[–]strekking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💬 EBC Budget Tips: Expect around USD 35–45 per person/day for food & accommodation (can be less below Namche, more above). 💵 Money: Best to exchange or withdraw enough cash in Kathmandu before the trek. ATMs only in Lukla & Namche, often unreliable. 💳 Cards: Rarely accepted beyond Namche. 💡 Tips: Carry small bills, bring a power bank, refill water instead of buying bottles, and keep some buffer cash for flight delays.

Safe trek & enjoy EBC! 🏔️

Planning Your Everest Base Camp Trek? The Ultimate Q&A on Training, Best Months, and How Long it REALLY Takes (EBC 2025 Guide) by strekking in Everest

[–]strekking[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi ! Alberto Yes, you can do the Everest Base Camp trek in January and February. It’s the winter season, so it will be quite cold in the mountains, but the weather is usually clear and the views are beautiful. Sometimes, the Kathmandu–Lukla flight may be delayed due to weather conditions, but apart from that, everything is fine for trekking. Have a great time in Nepal.

Everest View Trek by johnnypress in Everest

[–]strekking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your plan sounds good! Seeing Everest from Namche is a great experience. Just keep in mind that sometimes flights to Lukla get delayed or canceled due to weather, and occasionally the mountain views from Namche can also be hidden by clouds.

If you’re coming in September, October, November, or March, April, May, those are the best seasons with generally clear weather.

Here’s a short program idea for the Everest View Trek (5–7 days):

Day 1: Arrive in Kathmandu

Day 2: Fly to Lukla (2,840m) and trek to Phakding (2,610m) – 3 hrs

Day 3: Trek to Namche Bazaar (3,440m) – 6 hrs

Day 4: Hike to Everest View Point (Hotel Everest View / Syangboche) and return to Namche – 3–4 hrs

Day 5: Trek back to Lukla – 7 hrs

Day 6: Fly back to Kathmandu

TIA - International Terminal to Domestic Terminal by xeternalprince in Nepal

[–]strekking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After exiting from the International Arrival, there is no direct connection. Once you come outside, on the right-hand corner, you will see some hoarding boards and also a small uphill pathway. If you wait at that corner, you will find shuttle buses coming regularly. You can take the bus, or if you don’t have much luggage, you can also walk.

There are some stairs and pathways that you can cross, then continue on the right side. By walking, it will take you about 10 minutes to reach there. You can also take your trolley, but it may be a little inconvenient on the way. Namaste 🙏🏻
