Nepal in February

Hi there,

I am arriving in Nepal in February, and would like to do the following:

1. Go on a 3-4 day rafting trip.

2. Hike the Jomsom or Annapurna Circuit

What is the weather like at that time of year for each of these? I was worried the water might be too cold for ratfing, and the higher altitudes too cold for hiking

Any advice appreciated!

Pete

Nepal in February

I was there in mid-fed through mid-march, 2006. Was quite warm, even in the mountains, though I did get snowed on twice. I did the western 1/2 of the annapurna circuit through Jomsom to Muktinah. Would be happy to share trip notes if you choose that route. Also happy to share my guide/porter email address if you are interested. he was a huge help for the trip and made it work wonderfully. weather can change quickly, but generally you will be warm to quite hot on the trails with cold nights. Only wore long pants once as I recall and that was the morning I went into the MBC,rest of the time wore shorts.

Hi namaste and warm greetings from Kathmandu Nepal.It is happy to know that you are coming this wonderful land and welcome.

RAFTING:-

Nepal is one of the best places in the world for rafting and kayaking, and many trekkers complete their visit to Nepal with a short rafting trip. The combination of beautiful rivers, spectacular mountain scenery, and the chance to view Nepal from a different perspective is the attraction of a rafting trip.Trishuli River Rafting (1-3 Days)

Kali Gandaki River Rafting (3 Days)

Marsyangdi River Rafting (4 Days)

JOMSOM TREK:-The Jomsom Trek is the classic tea-house trek which visits some of the best trekking lodges in Nepal. The trek follows the ancient trading route from India to Tibet up the Kali Gandaki valley.We experience a range of surroundings, from the culture of the lowland villages to the splendour of the high Himalaya. This trek gives many spectacular views of the two Himalayan giants, Annapurna and Dhaulagiri, and gives a flavour of the Tibet-like country north of Jomsom. This is indeed a classic trek which allows access to the high mountains of the Himalaya within a reasonable timeframe and without ascending to extreme altitude.

ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT:-The Annapurna Circuit is one of the classic treks in the world and on the ‘must do’ list of any serious trekker or adventurer. The circuit takes one around the Annapurna Himal, following the courses of 2 mighty rivers: the Marsyangdi in the east and the Kaligandaki in the west, and takes one over the 5416m-high Thorung La Pass in between the upper reaches of the rivers.

Averagely February month is littlebit cold but during the trek quite warm even in the mountains only cold nights and morning.For the rafting do not worried cause water might be not too cold. Averagely February month temperature is minimum 2.2 deg celcius and maximum 21.6 deg celcius.

Have a nice journey!!!
