Nepal is a country endowed with numerous majestic mountains, and it is home to some of the most iconic peaks in the whole world. However, the Himalayas of Nepal are still mostly undiscovered in terms of skiing and snowboarding. Development in this unexplored area has just begun in recent years.
The highlands of Nepal offer plenty of opportunities for such adventure sports, despite the fact that there aren’t many established ski lines or trails down a mountain for snow skiing, snowboarding, or other mountain sports. One of the most thrilling ways to experience the snow and mountains in Nepal is off-piste skiing and snowboarding.
The majority of skiers and skateboarders dream of skiing around the Himalayas. For the adventure seekers and enthusiasts, trekking up to the location and then sliding downward from the highlands might be a tremendous experience. They have an opportunity to experience the Himalayas and the natural world in addition to developing their competitive spirit. The popularity of ski tourism will contribute to an increase in visitors throughout the winter months.
Ski adventures are only offered by a small number of organisations and businesses. Since ski tourism is a new product for Nepal, the ski destinations need to go through extensive study and testing. The Nepali ski season, which lasts from October to December, is regarded as the most ideal period for skiing. Skiing is often not interfered with by rain, and the weather is pleasant until April.
During the winter months, Kalinchowk has long been a favourite ski destination. This area, which is located at the height of around 3800 metres, is completely covered in snow throughout the winter, making it an ideal location for a ski trip. Every year, a large number of visitors from both local and foreign countries visit this location.
Skiing in Kalinchowk has become more and more popular recently, drawing many thrill seekers there. The number of tourists visiting Kalinchowk has been rising quickly recently; thanks to skiing!
Along with Kalinchowk, other businesses including NMA, Ski Guide Nepal, and other foreign instructors are aiming to boost ski tourism in Nepal. Every year, they host a number of events and training sessions for young people, outfitting them with the appropriate ski gears. They have been looking into possible ski destinations and have discovered locations such as Mera Peak, Annapurna Base Camp, Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, etc. These areas can make for ideal ski tourism destinations because they are well-covered with snow during the winter. After December, snowfall is at its highest.
Other places where skiing has started to be explored are the Everest region, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Annapurna, Dolpo and Kanchenjunga.
The ski resorts in Nepal provide thrilling and adventurous experiences. Despite their lack of development, they offer travellers a wild side of adventure. However, different Nepali skiing packages will provide you a fantastic experience with all-inclusive rates for lodging and travel.
