Planning your Nepal trip
Best time to go: October–December is best for visiting the hills and mountains, with clearer air. April–June is best for mountain expeditions; June–September brings monsoon rain, and January–March brings freezing nights and extreme cold at high elevations.
- Mount EverestThe world's highest mountain is Nepal's most famous sight.
- Kathmandu ValleyThis World Heritage Site includes Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan.
- Sagarmatha National ParkOne of Nepal's four World Heritage Sites.
- Chitwan National ParkOne of Nepal's four World Heritage Sites.
Scams to watch for in Nepal
- Counterfeit trekking equipmentEquipment sold outside genuine brand branches is very likely to be a copy. A familiar logo does not prove that an item is genuine. Copies may not last beyond one expedition.
- Counterfeit or expired food and cigarettesLocal shops may sell counterfeit food or cigarettes, or products past their use-by date. Familiar packaging does not guarantee a genuine or fresh product.
- Fake pashminaFake pashmina scarves and shawls are common. A seller's use of the word 'pashmina' does not establish that an item is cashmere.
