| Trekking seasons:
|
| Trekking in Nepal can be undertaken throughout
the year depending on where you are going. There 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 (December- February): |
| This season is noted for occasional snowfalls
only at higher altitude. So, it’s ideal for Trekking
at lower altitude, generally below 3000m. |
| Spring (March-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- August): |
| Summer months sometime continue upto September
and making travel in this seaosn can be wet and warm.
This is the favorite season to trek in the rain-shadow
areas north of the Himalaya like Mustang, Upper Manang
and Dolpo. These places are out of reach of the rain clouds
because of the hugh mountains and are unaffected by 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. |
