| Trekking Season in Nepal : |
When is the best time to
travel to
Nepal?
When traveling abroad, climatic factors always remain
an
important issue. Your best time for Nepal is October to November or
February to
April. Visit Nepal during October to November, as this is the time when
you can
expect better visibility, the air is fresh, and the weather is perfect
and that
the Nepalese most important festivals (Lhosar,Dashain and Tihar) are
marked
during that season. May to June is also a good time to travel although
the
weather is hot and dusty- you can live with that; wear a mask and a
Nepali Topi
(Cap) and learn how Nepalese get along with this period. December to
January is
the winter season in Nepal, which is also a good time to travel;
the climate and
visibility is good. Snow jackets and sweaters are recommended. Monsoon
starts
from Mid June to September; traveling during this period is not
advisable unless
you are the one who loves best in everything or finds best from
anything. Just
bring your raincoat during that season, and have a blast.
Nepal
is a small
country of
diversification with its geography and climate, a nature lover can
always make
it as his destination of trekking every months. There are normally four
seasons
are considered in Nepal, each of which has its own particular attraction
to
offer.
Autumn (Sep-Oct- Nov): The
best season offering excellent weather and out standing mountain views.
The
second finest trekking season. The temperature is quite moderate,
especially the
rhododendrons are in complete blossom and the mountain views are
excellent.
Spring (March-April- May): The second finest trekking season. The temperature is quite moderate,
especially
the rhododendrons are in complete blossom and the mountain views are
excellent.
Summer (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.
Winter (December- January-
February): suitable season for trekking at lower altitude, generally
below 3000m
like Ghorepani Poon Hill trek for one week, kathmandu valley treks for
one week. |
