Treks in Himalayas
Treks in Himalayas - What can you expect in the Off-season?
Himalayas extend to different regions but Nepal is one of the busiest during the trekking and tourism season. Nepal qualifies as a pretty and exotic destination for travelers within the country and also from the other parts of the world. There is a lot in Nepal besides the elusive and enthralling treks in Himalayas. People traveling from the Middle East during summer prefer to land in Nepal for an inspiring holiday. Nepal is surprisingly the most sought after not just during peak season but also in the off-season. There are many things exciting about off-season trekking in Nepal. Read on to know why.
The most important advantage of treks in Himalaya during off-season is that it gets less crowded. June and September offers the best off-season experience in the Annapurna Circuit. If you want to trek during the monsoon, try Langtang, Poon Hill or Helambu Treks. While it may be truly spectacular and almost private when you visit the mountains during the off-season; it is extremely important to be careful and safe. Here are some things you can do during your off-season trek in Nepal to make your holiday fun and exciting.
1. Landslides watch out!
Water levels in Nepal, during the monsoons or even during the tail end of on-season, are quite high. This may be the case for about 2 months or more. These conditions make the region prone to landslides and also slimy creatures like the leeches. The very popular trekking routes can remain blocked during monsoons as nature takes its own course. So, be careful and watch out for your safety.
2. Take it Slow
The Himalayas in Nepal are beautiful. They have all the right reasons for you to fall head over heels in love with them. Hence, taking it slow is always recommended especially in the off-season when you have the whole region to yourself. Running from one destination to another just in the objective of covering the region may yield little or no unique experiences. On the contrary; rejoicing in the colors, sights and breeze can throw up abundant happiness you’ve never experienced thus far. Himalayas in Nepal are one-of-a-kind sight to watch and experience.
3. Discounts
Off-season treks also offer a super advantage. Many activities and travels can be done at discounted prices. So, you enjoy a fabulous private holiday as you trek in Himalayas at great prices as well.
