Nepal in December/January

Hello, I'm going to be Nepal in December and January. I
know it's the coldest time of year to go but it's the only
time I can go! Has anyone trekked in late Dec or Jan? Is
the weather really miserable? Any info would be great.
Thanks.

   Difficult to wash as the water is frozen.

   Jen,
   I have been to Nepal 4 times--all in December (this was
   usually dictated by my father, who is a several decade
   mountaineer). It's actually a fine time to go--although
   it's cold, we didn't ever have much precipitation and no
   need to worry about leeches and stuff like that. Also, if
   you're on a trek and don't shower for a few weeks, it's
   nicer not to be sweating profusely each day. Enjoy!

   I'm also going to Nepal during Dec - Jan and have also
   found a lack of detailed information about this time of
   year. Except that it is cold (which you do not need to be
   a genius to figure out). It seems I've been to alot of
   websites and read the guide books but with no direct
   reference to this time of year. If you would like to share
   any info, drop us a line. Well, good luck and happy
   travelling.
