When to Trek?

Spring season (February-March-April): The second finest trekking season. The temperature is quite moderate; especially the rhododendrons are in complete blossom and the mountain views are excellent.

Summer season (June-July-August): This is the most preferable season to trek in the rain shadow areas like Mustang, Upper Manang and Dolpo. These places are out of reach of the rain clouds because of the huge mountains and are unaffected by the monsoon. This season is also recommended for forest researchers and botanist. Warning-raincoats and insect repellents are strictly necessary in this period.

Autumn season (September to November): The best season offering excellent weather and out standing mountain views.

Winter season (December & January): Suitable season for trekking at lower altitude, generally below 3000m.
