Accident in Wilder Kaiser

Winter in Nepal?

Has anyone been to 6000m Trekking Peaks in Nepal, in January/February? Any advice on permitting, access, and conditions would be greatly appreciated.

How feasible is it to plan to just show up in Kathmandu in mid January, and sort everything out for myself on the ground?
