When to Go for Clear Views and Good Weather
Choosing the right time to trek in Nepal can make or break your experience. While Nepal can be visited year-round, the experience varies drastically between seasons.
Spring is the second most popular season. The weather is warming up, and the rhododendrons are in full bloom, turning the hills red and pink. Visibility is generally good, though haze can appear in the lower valleys.
This is the peak season. The monsoon has washed away the dust, leaving crystal clear skies and the best mountain views. The major festivals of Dashain and Tihar also fall in this season, adding a festive atmosphere.
Winter (Dec-Feb) offers solitude but cold temperatures; it's great for lower treks like Poon Hill. Monsoon (Jun-Aug) is rainy and leeches are common, but it is the perfect time for rain-shadow treks like Upper Mustang and Dolpo.
Choose Autumn for the best mountain views, Spring for flowers and warmer weather, or Winter/Monsoon if you want to avoid crowds and don't mind the elements.
