Questions trekkers ask

Can I do a winter trek in a long weekend?

Yes. Buni Buni + Kheerganga Trek can be done in 2–3 days from the pickup point.

How cold does it get on winter treks?

Expect daytime temperatures around 0–10 °C and nights from −5 °C to −15 °C at higher camps in January and February. Proper layers and a warm sleeping bag matter more than anything else.

How does the quiz pick my trek?

It scores every open winter trek on what you want to experience, the days you have, your experience and fitness, how much cold you can take and your budget. Treks well beyond your level are never recommended.
