Weather

There are generally two traditional tour seasons for travel in Nepal. One from March to May and the next being October – December. June – August – September is time of rain and monsoon. However, there is local life and visitors are taking advantage of the off seasons too. In March – May temperatures are relatively comfortable in the day although it can be a bit cold in the morning and evenings. This is the time when there is greenery in the mountains and flowers are blossoming. The second season from October to December is most preferred in terms of clear sky and views as well as local activities. During the day its usually sunny but in the morning and evening, especially in the later season, it can get cold at freeing temperature. There is also high chances of snow and wind in passes above 4000 m. Usually its safest to descend to lower elevation or your camp before later noon.
