The trek can be classified into four grades where 1 stands
for easy route and 4 for strenuous. Trek in Nepal is a special
and rewarding mountain holiday and tough or easy walking trip
following well developed trails.

and cultural riches has made Nepal a unique destination and
the best way to experience it is to walk through them. The
main factors that make trekking in Nepal so unique and popular
are the scenery, the people, the diverse culture and the flora
and fauna. You will directly experience our culture and way
of life of different ethnic people, religion, festivals.
Trek Season
Trekking in Nepal can be undertaken throughout
the year depending on where you are going. Three are 4 seasons
in Nepal each of, which has its distinct attraction to offer.
AUTUMN (Sep-Nov)
Autumn is the best season for trekking in Nepal.
This season offers excellent weather and tantalizing mountain
views.
WINTER (Dec-Feb)
This season is noted for occasinal snowfalls
only at higher altitude. So, it's ideal for trekking at lower
altitude, generally below 3000m.
SPRING (Mar-May)
The temperature is quite moderate in this season.
Varieties of wild flowers, especially the rhododendrons are
in complete blossom. The mountain views are excellent. This
is the second best trekking season in Nepal.
SUMMER (June-Aug)
Summer months sometime continue up to September
and making travel in this season can be wet and warm. This
is the favorite season to trek in the rain-shadow areas north
of the Himalaya like Mustang, Upper Manag and Dolpa. These
places are out of reach of the rain clouds because of the
huge mountains and are unaffected y the monsoon. This season
is also recommended for forest researchers and botanist as
the higher valleys and meadows blossom with flowers and lush
vegetation. Raincoats and insect repellents are essential
to trek in this season.
