You will trek in a slow and steady pace and taking lots of breaks. The key is to trek slow, acclimatize and drink plenty of liquids during the trek.

The best trekking experience depends on the time of the year. SE Trek can be done in all seasons with professional guides. But spring season (March to May) and autumn seasons (September to November) are of course the best seasons for the trek. In spring, the moderate and dry climate makes trekking comfortable. The flourishing bio diversity makes the trails vibrant and beautiful. Autumn season provides better mountain views, less humidity and less perspiration. The clear blue skies bring about crisp views of the mountains. But the Himalayas won’t disappoint in any season. We provide the trekkers with best facilities throughout the year. All arrangements, accommodation to meals, transportation to guidance are provided. If you’re looking forward to an ecstatic Himalaya adventure, then SET is the best.
