season
Trekking is
possible at any time of the year depending on where you are going.
The most popular seasons are Autumn and Spring.
Autumn: Sep-Nov October and November are really
Nepal's highest months - offering excellent weather and tantalizing
mountain views.
- Winter:
Dec-Feb This season is noted for occasional snowfall only at higher
elevations. Mountain passes may be snowbound, hence it is ideal
for trekking at lower elevations, generally below 3000 meters.
- Spring:
Mar-May Different varieties of wild flowers, specially the rhododendrons,
make the hillside above 5000 meters a haunting paradise during
this season. It is mildly warm at lower elevations and at higher
elevation over 4000 meters the mountain views are excellent and
temperature is quite moderate.
- Summer:
Jun-Aug Summer months really continue up to mid-September making
travel wet and warm. These times are blessed for the keen botanist
as the higher valleys and meadows blossom with flowers and lush
vegetation. Insect repellent is a nice addition to your What to
Bring list. During this season, you can trek in the rain-shadow
(places are out of reach of the rain clouds because of the high
mountains) areas north of the Himalaya like Mustang and Dolpo.
