1. What are the most popular places to visit in Nepal?
Depending on the kind of journey you wish to undertake, Nepal has a myriad of options when it comes to trekking and tours. For Himalayan journeys, we have the popular Annapurna, Everest, Langtang, and Dolpo Region trekked by thousands during the season. If you wish for a less crowded trail you can opt for the Manaslu Circuit, Tsum Valley, or Upper Mustang to name a few. If you wish to avoid the Himalayas all together you have then you can Nepal City Tour around the popular cities including Chitwan, Kathmandu, and Pokhara touring through the UNESCO world heritage sites.
2. Do you have to be rich to Travel to Nepal?
No, it is not necessary to be rich to travel to Nepal. But, your budget is totally determined by the kind of journey you are setting off for and the quality of services you use. While it is not always necessary that quality increases with a higher price, it is the general way of things. If you wish to travel to Nepal and seek to stay at 5 stars hotels and use the best services possible, you will need a higher budget than staying at a good enough hotel and using similar services.

Winters are pretty cold and can reach very low temperatures during the night. More Details about Weather in Nepal.
7. When is the best time to go to Nepal?
While you can journey into the nation throughout the year, travelers mostly prefer making the trip to the Himalayas during the months of March/ April/ May when spring is beginning to settle, or during the months of September/ October/ November which signals the final phase of autumn. You can trek throughout the year except during the rainy and winter seasons.
8. Are there any age restrictions?
There are no official age restrictions imposed by the government of Nepal. However, it is recommended to not trek alongside children under 8 years or adults over 70 years, especially, if you are going for difficult treks into the Himalayas. However, we do recommend hiring an extra porter in case things get difficult for the children or adults during the trek. Providing prior information for horse riding and back riding is also essential if you want those services to be available during the trips.
9. What type of person do I have to be? I’ve never done anything like this before.
You do not have to have someone with rippling muscles to enjoy trekking. Experience is only needed if you are going for challenging treks, peak climbing, or expeditions. For most of the treks throughout Nepal, sound fitness levels and a Himalayan spirit to enjoy the trek are more than enough. However, we advise you to have travel and medical insurance and inform us of any medical conditions you might have before the trip officially begins.
10. Will I find the trip difficult?
If you are going mountain climbing or taking on challenging routes you will face a certain degree of difficulty. We, at Ace Vision Treks, provide ample acclimatization time for travelers to adapt to the altitude. Thus, you will have a comfortable time while traveling. However, with most of the treks including the base camps, the journey is relatively easy and you will get familiar with the trail in no time. As for tours, they generally occur close to cities so, you have no reason to worry about the difficulty or modern amenities for the journey.
11. Why should I travel with Ace Vision Treks?

Our staff will constantly monitor every aspect of our charity challenge while making sure you are healthy and fit for continuing the journey.
13. What if I have existing travel insurance coverage?
If you have existing travel insurance coverage, you need to make sure that the insurance coverage period has not expired. You also need to consult with your agency regarding their coverage while trekking in Nepal. You should also update the company about your day-to-day itinerary and make sure they cover rescue insurance in case of an emergency in the Himalayas.
14. I'm traveling alone. Do I need to pay a single supplementary?
Yes. If you wish to have a single room to yourself, most often than not, you will need to pay a single supplementary charge. The teahouses and lodges in Nepal generally offer twin beds and double rooms so you will have to pay a single supplementary. During the prime trekking seasons between the months of March to May and September to November, it can be challenging to have a private room all to yourself due to the sheer number of trekkers making the trip. However, we will try our best to ensure you get a private room.

We also advise you to be careful when filling out the form and use the credentials as they are in your official documents.

While it is advised to get your VISA from the Nepalese Embassy or consulate back in your home country, you can get an entry VISA at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu. The VISAs are called on-arrival visas and, by filling out the application form, you can easily obtain them.
