Trekking Seasons

Deciding the best time to trek in Nepal is tricky. The summer monsoon (June to Sept) brings growth and freshness but is best avoided by trekkers. Autumn (Sept to late Nov) and spring (Feb to mid-April) are your best bets: autumn brings clarity, the bugs and dust washed away by the monsoon; spring days are warmer and longer, allowing for maximum time spent exploring. Winter in Nepal (Dec to Jan) doesn't bring much snow, but it is chilly; wrap up warm and you'll be one of very few up in the mountains.
