What is Outwild?
Outwild is a non-profit initiative founded in 2011 (registered under the name La Rando at the Strasbourg district court, volume 90 – folio 2), born from a shared passion for mountains, trekking, and adventure travel. Through our community, we share advice, field reports, and resources to help enthusiasts discover the world of expedition travel.
During the COVID-19 period, a solidarity initiative under the name Outwild was launched to support several guides, sherpas, and local trekking professionals affected by the sudden halt in tourism. This effort helped build strong human connections with local guides in Nepal and other regions around the world.
“Sharing expedition culture, fostering human exchange, and supporting local mountain communities.”

How to obtain a Nepal visa on arrival? The visa is obtained at Kathmandu airport or at land border crossings. Bring a passport photo, a passport valid for at least 6 months, and cash for payment: $30 for 15 days, $50 for 30 days, $125 for 90 days. On-site online kiosks speed up the process.
What are the different types of visa on arrival? There are three durations: 15 days ($30), 30 days ($50), and 90 days ($125). The tourist visa is sufficient for most treks. High-altitude expeditions require additional permits.
Do I need a permit to trek in Nepal? Yes. Most treks require a TIMS permit and a protected area permit (ACAP for Annapurna, SNPPA for Everest). Your Outwild guide handles these procedures for you.
When is the best time to go trekking in Nepal? Autumn (October–November) and spring (March–May) are the two ideal seasons. Winter is still possible at lower altitudes. The monsoon season (June–August) is not recommended for high routes.
Is trekking in Nepal difficult? There are routes for all levels. The main challenges are altitude, daily distance, and elevation gain. Your Outwild guide adjusts the pace to your physical condition.
How long should you plan for a trek in Nepal? Allow 12 to 16 days for Everest Base Camp, and 14 to 21 days for the Annapurna Circuit. Outwild customizes each itinerary based on your availability.

Outwild really helped me find quality agencies for my expeditions. Last year I was in Nepal on a 7,126m peak, and a few days ago I reached the summit of Mera Peak (6,476m), and this was made possible largely thanks to Outwild. A big thank you from Réunion 🇷🇪
I was looking for a trusted local agency to push my limits at high altitude. Outwild supported me with rare expertise: precise technical advice, effort management, and anticipation of conditions. I reached the summit of Manaslu at 8,163 meters above sea level.
