My partner and I are planning a Nepal trekking/travel trip for ~2 weeks sometime between June and end of September, and was hoping for some trekking recommendations. We’re keen for a ~1 week trek, we’ve been scouring trekking guides but are frankly overwhelmed by the choice!
I guess the primary constraints are
a) has to been between june and september, despite monsoon season
b) we’re students, so saving where possible and appropriate
c) we’re more interested in the cultural/natural side of Nepal than climbing-based sights (such as EBC)
d) also less popular areas preferred
Advice found so far seems to point towards rainshadow areas, although those areas also tend to coincide with expensive restricted area permit fees (also, perhaps a generalisation, but rainshadow areas online look very arid and not particularly nice to look at…?)
Thanks everyone for any advice, really appreciate it
(As a side, we also intend to hire a guide. We are not experienced enough to trek alone, we should support their economy and have no desire to break the law)
