Trekking in Nepal can be
undertaken through out the year. There are four seasons in
Nepal. Each season has its distinct attraction to offer. The
seasons are classified as follows:
Season
Autumn (September to November)
This season offers excellent weather and tantalizing mountain
views. Temperature are moderate, making it a good time for any
trekking. The skies are generally clear with outstanding
views. Occasionally short storms may dump considerable snow at
high altitudes.
Winter (December to February)
This season is noted for occasional snowfall only at higher
elevations. Hence it is ideal for trekking at lower elevation,
generally below 3000 meters.
Spring (March to May)
Different varieties if wild flowers, specially the
rhododendrons make the hillside above 3000 m. a hunting
paradise during this season. It is mildly warm at lower
elevations and at higher elevation, over 4000m, the Mountain
View are excellent while the temperature is quite moderate.
Summer (June to August)
Summer months continue up to mid September making travel wet
and warm. These times are blessed for the keen botanist as the
higher valleys and meadows blossom with flowers and lush
vegetation. It is recommended to carry insect repellents when
trekking during these summer months. |
