Trekking in Nepal can be undertaken
throughout the year depending on the
region.
The year is divided into 4 different
seasons in Nepal and each season has its
distinct attraction to offer for
trekking.
Autumn (Sept - Nov)

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)
This season is noted for occasional
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)
Trekking in spring is particularly
lovely as the mountain slopes are
covered with beautiful and colorful
flowers and still have plenty of high
snow to enhance your photos. The
temperature is quite moderate and the
mountain views are excellent.
Summer (June - August)

the rain shadow areas like Upper
Mustang, Dolpo and Kailash. This season
