Best time to visit Nepal

Nepal has full of reasons to travel throughout the year and one may enjoy a memorable journey at any time of the year, However, Spring and Autumn seasons are considered best time for adventure activities like trekking, excursion and climbing in Nepal.

Spring Season:

Spring season from the month of March- May is considered very suitable season for the travel in Nepal and has relatively greater flow of tourists. At this time of the year, both temperature and weather are ideal for wide ranges of outdoor holidays and adventure activities. However, winds and light rainfalls are expected in some regions. Best thing about the Spring season is blooming of varieties flowers, specially rhododendron flowers throughout the tracks of trekking and hiking.

Spring season is considered one of best season for trekking and climbing in Nepal because of the suitable weather condition, gorgeous growing landscapes and less crowded compared to autumn season.

Autumn Season:

Autumn season in Nepal occurs in the months of September, October and November with highest flow of visitors compared to other seasons. Autumn is considered one of the best season to travel to Nepal as the weather conditions are very stable during the months for trekking, expedition and peak climbing.

Spring season still has a risk of cooler afternoons but we can see rapid changes in the landscapes during the autumn season with mostly clear skies, moderate temperature, cool breeze and relaxed environment. Major festivals of Nepal like Dashain and Tihar fall during the season and you can grab additional advantage of festival and culture.

We would like to recommend not to start to early of the season as monsoon trouble could be still experienced but starting around the mid of September is usually safe as the weather has fully settled.

Off Seasons but Best suitable for Specific treks

Winter Season

During the winter season months of December, January and February, temperatures range from ten degrees Celsius during the day to zero degrees Celsius at night. Best sceneries are often experienced during winter season and can avoid the crowds as fewer visitors pick this season . Popular trekking routes during the season are Ghorepaani Poonhill trek, Langtang and Gosainkunda Trek etc.

However, various summits and high passes in the Everest area like Cho La, Kongma La, and Renjo La are usually blocked at this time of year.

Monsoon Season

Monsoon season lasts from the month of June to August and trekking and climbing are not recommended at this time of year as it is considered wet season with lots of rain and there is more possibility of obstruction in your journey due to landslides in the trekking tracks and roads. However, weather is often dry and sunny in the Rainshadows of Nepal and ideal time of year to explore them, such as Upper Dolpo, Mustang, Limi Valley, and Narphu Valley. This could be the best season for those who loves complete greenery as landscapes are fully green.
