Winter season

The Winter season normally starts in December and ends in February. During these month temperature reaches an almost freezing point and Himalayan regions experience rough weather and heavy snowfall. In the winter season, the weather in Nepal is cloudy, foggy, and too cold. And some trekking routes can be closed due to unfavorable weather. But if you want to experience the winter of The Himalayas you can do Mardi Himal trek, Annapurna Annapurna base camp Trek, Langtang Trek, and Poonhill Trek.

Monsoon season

Monsoon season in Nepal continues from June to September. In the monsoon season, the risk of landslides is higher in the upper region of Nepal. Road also can be muddy because of heavy rainfall. So we request you not to go for a trek in the upper region. But there are some exceptional treks which are good during the monsoon season which lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, protected from most of the monsoons rains , i.e. Upper Mustang Trek and the Nar Phu Valley Trek because they lie in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, protected from most of the monsoons rain.

Summer season

Nepal enjoys the Summer season from June to August. Summer season is good for almost all trekking routes in Nepal, Upper Mustang, Jomsom Muktinath Trekking, upper Dolpo trek, and Lower Dolpa are the most popular summer trekking in Nepal.
