Nepal

Located in the lap of southern Himalaya, Nepal widged between China in to North and India in to South-West and East. Nepal has enjoyed an independent political existennce from the very earliest time.Nepal has East-West length of 550 miles, North-south width of 120 miles and its western region is expanded more than East and Mid regions. Himalayan region covers 15%, Hill region covers 68% and the Plains cover 17% among the total geography of Nepal. Himalayan region is situated in height ranging from 16000 feet to 29000 feet. From the highest peak Sagarmatha to seven mountains measuring 8000 meters high, all lie in this same Himalayan region. Himalayan region is habituated by Sherpa people popular for mountaineering and they live with their own tradition and culture. Apart from Sherpa people, settlement of other castes like Tamang, Bhote, Jirel, Thami are found.
The hill area exists at the height of 2000 to 16000 meters. Majority of the ethnic groups of Nepal, major culture of Nepal, temples of gods and goddesses, tradition, natural herbs are found in hill region. Here is settlement of people from castes like Magar, Gurung, Brahmin, Chhetri, Dalit, Newar, Baraam, Gharti, Chepang, Kusunda, Raute, Tamang, Rai, Limbu, Sunuwar and others.
Terai or the plains exist at the height of 1000 to 2000 feet from the sea level. It is known as development center of Aryan civilization and academic center of sages from ancient ages. Here people of castes like Tharu, Danuwar, Dhiwar, Meche, Gangaai, Brahmin, Chhetri, Dalit and others have settlement. Tharu is considered to be the oldest ethnic group of Nepali society.
According to the latest census of Nepal, the total population of the country is 30.8 million. Among the total population, 81% of them are Hindu, 17% of them are Buddhist, 1% of them are Muslim and the remaining are Christian, Jain and others.  From the ancient times, Nepal is familiar to be common settlement region for Hindu and Buddhist communities. Muslim community which joined during twelfth century has adjusted with Buddhist and Hindu societies and has resided with mutual friendship and brotherhood since then. The cultural practices of Nepal have been found to be developed by Hindu and Buddhist traditions, culture, faith, social values, festivals, arts and architecture. It is difficult to distinguish whether some festivals, temples and shrines are related to Hindu or Buddhist.
The country's natural composition, climate, religion and culture have made Nepali people distinct in terms of appearance and speech. Consequently, the original residents who live in different regions have custom of their own distinct culture, tradition and lifestyle. This way, the geographical condition of the country has become collective source of different castes, culture, appearance and speech.
Though different in terms of appearance, costume and language, the base of folk culture of Nepal is homogenous. The sound of an axe chopping, dried leaves, millstone, wind, river, fountain etc are the sources that different caste people are found to have made songs, and composed music from. Nepali traditional folk culture is an oral history and unwritten alcove of poetry where every society is found to be in misery and happiness. Folk Nepali song is a tone of collective rhythmic poetry from a typical Nepali of rural setting whose emotion is throbbing. Traditional Nepali culture that stays vibrant to many generations conceals stunning Nepali soul.

Best Time to Visit Nepal
If you are planning for the Nepal Holidays, first thing you should think is best time. Although Trekking in Nepal can be undertaken all the time in a year but there are few months which are best for hiking through the rugged path. Autumn and Spring season are the best seasons for travel in Nepal. The peak time for trekking in Nepal is from late September to early December when the air is fresh, calm and cool whereas skies clear providing the best views of the mountains. Spring season is the second best time to trek and climbing to Himalayas.
Fall (October-November) is normally dry, stable and very clear, with the most reliable mountain views. (That said, bad weather can strike at any time of year-a disastrous storm in November 1995 brought up to 9 feet of snow in the high country and claimed dozens of trekkers' lives.) Temperatures are moderate, making it a good time for any trek. It can be cold at night higher up, but not as cold as it gets in winter, and the daytime temperatures are pleasantly cool for walking. At low elevations it may still be quite hot during the day, but not as hot as in spring.
However, thanks to the weather, fall is also the most popular season for trekking. You'll hit long lines at the permit offices (especially during the big Dasain festival), guides and porters will charge top dollar, the tourist quarters will be hustley, and all the standard routes-especially Annapurna and Everest-will be maxed. Don't expect solitude.
Winter (December-January) is for the most part dry and settled, albeit colder. How cold depends, of course, on elevation. If you want to go to, say, Everest Base Camp (at about 17,000 feet) you'll have to be prepared for overnight lows of -10° to -20°F; high passes at this time of year are icy and will probably require crampons and some technical experience. But if you're not into winter conditions, just stay lower: since Nepal is about as far south as central Florida, the lower hills will still be surprisingly springlike-below about 6,000 feet you won't even see frost. The trails are relatively quiet in winter, but note that many teahouses may be closed, especially higher up. The days are shorter, too.
Temperatures and the snow line rise steadily during spring (February to about mid-April), while the likelihood of precipitation increases. The warmer weather brings more trekkers, though not as many as in autumn. The main factor that keeps the numbers down is a disappointing haze that creeps up in elevation during this period. By April, you probably won't get good views until you reach 12,000 feet or so. However, the rhododendrons are spectacular in April at about 6-8,000 feet.
It gets that much hotter, hazier and unsettled in May and early June. The warming Asian landmass has begun drawing air up from the south, ushering in the pre-monsoon-a period of erratic afternoon clouds and occasional squalls as hot, dry air from India is forced up over the mountains. The trails and teahouses again begin to empty out. This is a time for going high, but be prepared for rain, especially in traditionally wet areas such as Annapurna.
The monsoon proper begins when the warm, moist air from the Indian Ocean arrives. The rains generally advance from east to west in early to mid-June. They build to a peak in July and early August, then taper off again until clear weather returns by early October. Even at the monsoon's height, however, it doesn't bring continuous torrential rain-torrential, and sometimes you'll get breaks in the clouds or even patches of blue.
Few foreigners trek during the monsoon because of the rain, mud, leeches, travel difficulties, and general lack of mountain views. The leeches along the mid-elevation trails are not for the squeamish! If you want to stay drier, head for areas in the Himalayan "rain shadow," such as Mustang or Dolpo-or skip Nepal and Tibet.

Altitude Sickness in Nepal
The Mountain Altitude sickness- to know about the safety measures to avoid AMS and to understand the basic  medical treatments once AMS hits you are most important things for you before trekking in Nepal. The Acute Mountain Sickness is an illness caused due to gain in elevation. Compared to sea level the amount of oxygen in higher altitude is less and the oxygen level goes thinner as trekkers continue to gain higher altitude. Here Pink Mountain Treks and Expedition have listed the details of AMS please have a look.
Symptoms of AMS
The symptoms of AMS are can be several. They vary from person to person. However, general symptoms of AMS are as follows. If you are seen with, any of these symptoms do not delay to identify the illness and go for the quick treatment ASAP.
Difficulty sleeping
Dizziness or light-headedness
Fatigue
Headache
Loss of appetite
Nausea or vomiting
(heart rate) Rapid pulse
with exertion Shortness of breath
Severe cases of AMS may lead you to HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema) or HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema). HAPE hits your respiratory system where as HACE hits your Nervous System.
Symptoms that may occur with more severe acute mountain sickness include:
Blue color to the skin (cyanosis)
Chest tightness or congestion
Consufion
Cough
Coughing up blood
Withdrawal from social interaction
Gray or pale complexion
Cannot walk in a straight line, or walk at all
Shortness of breath at rest

Facts on HAPE & HACE
HACE or HAPE occur in approximately 1 to 2% of people going to high altitude
HAPE and HACE may occur alone or together
HAPE is roughly twice as common as HACE
HAPE causes many more deaths than HACE
HAPE may appear without any preceding symptoms of AMS
HAPE is more likely in people with colds or chest infections
HAPE often comes on after the second night spent at a higher altitude
HAPE can develop even after descending from a higher altitude
HACE usually develops after symptoms of AMS have appeared and often gets rapidly worse during the night
HACE may develop in the later stages of HAPE
HACE (High Altitude Cerebral Edema)
HACE is caused by an accumulation of fluid in or around the brain. Typically, symptoms and signs of AMS become worse and HACE develops. Someone with HAPE may also develop HACE.
Symptoms & signs
Severe headache, which often feels worse on lying down and is not relieved by ibuprofen, paracetamol or aspirin
Tiredness, severe fatigue
Nausea and or vomiting which may be severe and persistent
Loss of coordination, clumsiness. The victim needs help with simple tasks such as tying their shoelaces or packing their bag. They cannot do the finger-nose test
Staggering, falling. They cannot do the heel to toe walking test or the standing test
Blurred or double vision, seeing halos around objects
Loss of mental abilities such as memory. They cannot do a simple mental arithmetic test
Confusion, hallucinations
Change in behavior (aggression, apathy, etc.)
Drowsiness, difficult to wake up, coma, death
Tests for HACE
Heel-to-toe walking test: The victim is asked to take 10 very small steps, placing the heel of one foot to the toes of the other foot as they go. Reasonably flat ground is necessary and the victim should not be helped
Standing test: The victim stands with eyes closed, feet together and arms by their sides
Finger-nose test: With eyes closed, the victim repeatedly and rapidly alternates between touching the tip of their nose with an index finger then extending this arm to point into the distance (a useful test if the victim is in a sleeping bag)
Mental arithmetic test: Give the victim a mental arithmetic test, eg. subtract 7 from 100, 7 from 93, and so on (but remember some people may be poor at arithmetic even at sea level)
If the victim cannot do any of the above tests easily (or refuses to cooperate), or show excess wobbling or falling over in the two first tests (be prepared to catch the victim if they fall over!), assume they are suffering from HACE. If in doubt about the victim performance, compare with a healthy individual. Be prepared to keep repeating these tests.
Treatment
Descend immediately (prompt descent will begin to reverse the symptoms). Descend as low as possible, at least 1000m /3280 ft. Descend at night or in bad weather if necessary. Carry the victim if possible, as the exertion of walking can make the illness worse
If descent is not immediately possible (eg. dangerous terrain or weather, not enough helpers or while waiting for a helicopter), oxygen or the use of a PAC and appropriate medications will keep the person alive until descent can be undertaken
Give oxygen:
From a bottle using a mask (2 to 4 L/min)
By using a pressure bag (this is roughly the equivalent of 2 to 4 L of oxygen/min)
NB: If both oxygen and a pressure bag are available, give the oxygen while the bag is being prepared and after the victim comes out of the bag. Do not give oxygen inside the bag unless it is designed for this purpose and you have been trained to do so.
Give medications:
8 mg of dexamethasone at once (by mouth, IV or IM) followed by 4 mg 6-hourly. Dexamethasone takes several hours to work. Stop it once below 2500m/8200ft AND after at least 3 days of treatment by tailing off the dose slowly (give the last 3 doses 12-hourly)
Diamox 250 mg 8 to12-hourly
Treat persistent vomiting with anti-vomiting medication
Prop the victim up in a semi reclining position as lying down flat may make their condition worse
Avoid even the slightest exertion if this is possible. Even walking a few steps may make their symptoms worse or reappear. Do not leave the victim alone.
If a person is turning blue or is falling into unconsciousness, give them rescue breathing before they stop breathing
HAPE (High Altitude Pulmonary Edema)
Symptoms of HAPE are due to the accumulation of fluid in or around the lungs. It may appear on its own without any preceding symptoms of AMS (this happens in about 50% of cases), or it may develop at the same time as AMS. HAPE can easily be mistaken for a chest infection or asthma: if in doubt treat for both.
Symptoms & signs
A reduction in physical performance (tiredness, severe fatigue) and a dry cough are often the earliest signs that HAPE is developing breathlessness.
In the early stages of HAPE, this may mean just taking a bit longer to get one breath back on resting after mild exercise. Later on, there is marked breathlessness with mild exercise. Finally, breathlessness occurs at rest. Record the respiratory rate (NB: At 6000m/19700ft, acclimatized respiration rate is up to 20 breaths per minute)
The dry cough may later become wet with frothy sputum, which may be bloodstained (pink or rust colored). This is a serious sign
Wet sounds in the lungs when breathing in deeply (place your ear on the bare skin of the victim back below the shoulder blades; compare with a healthy person).
Note: There may be NO wet sounds in even quite severe HAPE: this is called dry HAPE.
There may be: mild fever up to 38.5ºC, a sense of inner cold, pains in the chest
Blueness or darkness of face, lips, tongue or nails due to lack of oxygen in the blood (cyanosis)
Drowsiness, difficulty waking up, coma, death
Treatment
Same general treatment as for HACE, EXCEPT: Use oxygen or the PAC and appropriate medications will keep the person alive until descent can be undertaken
Give Medications:
Nifedipine. This should only be used if bottled oxygen or a pressure chamber is not available and the victim is warm and well hydrated. Give the modified release (MR) form of the tablets (20 mg 12-hourly for 2 or 3 days). If a fall in blood pressure occurs due to nifedipine (pallor, weak rapid pulse, dizzy on standing), treat as shock
Diamox 250 mg 8 to 12-hourly
An asthma reliever spray (2 puffs 4-hourly) may help
