Sandakfu Trek in Dec-Jan

Hi, I am planning a trip with folloing schedule:

December 27 - Trek to Tumling from Manebhanjan (2900 Mt.) 11 km.
December 28 - Trek to Kalipokhri (3108 Mt.) 14 km.
December 29 - Trek to Sandakphu (3636 Mt.) 7 km.
December 30 - Trek to Gurdum (2910 Mt.) 14 km.
December 31 - Trek to Rimbik (2286 Mt.) via Sirikhola, 13 km.


Is it feasible?

I am specifically concerned about snowfall and bad weather.

Can anyone help me with info?

after 11 or 12am weather might get bad....but no need to worry abt that....if u get luky then u might get snowfall....we got only frost though no snow fall.... hard luck....but one thing 4 sure we will enjoy the trip & it is very easy...only the last 4 km frm bikebhanjan is a bit tough...



u can get guide porter frm manebhanjan...its available....but i can say u that there is no need of that....they will say it is neccesary to take a guide (govt reg...will carry only 10 kg )to enter the forrest but that is not true....


u had to buy tickets frm gairibas & u hav to pay extra 4 digcam or moviecam...but there is no further checking ...


hope help u a bit....best of luck...
