Seasons
Since Nepal is a country of diversification with
its geography and climate, a nature lover can always make it as his or her
destination of trekking year round. There are normally four seasons are
considered in Nepal, each of which has its own particular attraction to offer.
Autumn (Sep- Nov): The best season offering excellent weather and outstanding
mountain views.
Spring (March-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-August): this is the most preferable season to trek in the rain
shadow areas like Jomsom,
Upper Manang, Dolpo
and Manang. These places are out of reach of the
rain clouds because of the huge Himalayas 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-February): suitable season for trekking at lower altitude,
generally below 3500m. at Royal trekking,
Sikles tekking, Langtang Valley,
Helambu Trekking, Shivapuri Trekking. |
