Backpacking in December

Although some time away I am hoping to visit Darjeeling and
Nepal from mid December to early January. Can anybody tell
me if it is possible to trek in Darjeeling and Nepal over
that period. Also can I go by bus from Darjeeling to
Kathmandu. I believe the road is normally OK but being
winter I was wondering if there will be land slides etc I
dont have much time and would rather not have to sit on the
side of the road for my entire holiday. I have already done
trekking in the Annarpurna region of Nepal so I thought of
doing something in the Everest region. Any ideas will really
be appreciated. Your comments will decide if I go or stay! I
have been told its the best time to be in these areas even
though it pritty cold. Looking forward to your E mails.

    Graham, it's a great time to go trekking. Yes, cold but
    still the clarity is worth it. the bus from Ktm to
    darjeeling is possible but in one go is a bit of a
    nightmare. break it up or fly via calcutta.
