What is the best season for trekking/tour/expedition in Nepal?
Travelers can visit Nepal around the year. Nepal is all seasons destination. Autumn (Sept-Nov) and Spring (March-May) are the best seasons for all tourism activities in Nepal like trekking, tour, and mountaineering. The clear skies and moderate temperatures are the favorable aspects of tourism activities during the seasons. However, some activities are difficult to conduct during the monsoon and winter. Jun-August is the rainy month in Nepal. Since the major National parks of Nepal lie in the lower plains of Terai, the wildlife tour, and Jungle Safaris are difficult during the season. Travelers can trek to the rainshadow area beyond the Himalayas for the best experience during monsoon. The treks to Upper Mustang, Manang, and Upper Dolpo are perfect activities during the season. Furthermore, cultural tours are suitable all around the year. Except for the high altitude treks and expeditions, travelers can go for cultural tours, day tours, and easy and short hikes during winter. ...more ...less
