throughout the year depending on the
region.

seasons in Nepal and each season has its
distinct attraction to offer for
trekking.

better visibility, the air is fresh, and
the weather is perfect and that the
Nepalese most important festivals (Dashain
and Tihar) are
marked during this season The best
season offering excellent weather and
tantalizing mountain views.
Winter (Dec - Feb)

snowfall and the air can be quite cold
at higher elevations. Hence it is ideal
for trekking at lower elevations,
generally below 3000 meters and offers
tantalizing mountain views.
Spring (March - May)

lovely as the mountain slopes are
covered with beautiful and colorful
flowers and still have plenty of high
snow to enhance your photos. The

mountain views are excellent.
