Description
On Day 9 of their trek, Jason and Anne Dorthe discuss the trekking seasons with Samir.  At day’s end, Samir and some villagers sing and play music on native instruments.    What is each season like?  What is the most popular month for trekking?  Which month is the greenest?  The warmest?  The quietest?  When will you see the most flowers?  When is your best chance of making it over the high passes?  Which season is driest, and which is rainiest?    Learn all about trekking in different months of the year, about camping along the trail versus staying in the tea houses (as Jason and Anne Dorthe did), how much cash you should carry with you, how meals are handled, and what to do about drinking water.  Have you decided which season you’d like to trek in Nepal?  To access the ultimate resource for hiking adventures around the world and get our FREE gear guide, check out zerototravel.com/trekking.
