When to Trek ? |
 |
|
Although trekking in Nepal can be organized
throughout the year, October through May are considered to be
the best months for trekking. Summer months of the year which
coincides with monsoon begins in mid-June and drains in
mid-September making travel wet and warm. The mountain views may
not be at their best as rain clouds and haze over hang the
mountains occasionally obscuring the enchanting views. These
times are blessed for the keen botanist as the higher valleys
and meadows blossom with flowers and lush vegetation. During
monsoon it does not mean that it will rain every day. Besides,
some of the most frequented trails will not be crowded and some
people like it that way. It can actually be enjoyed in the upper
part of the Annapurna circuit around Marfa, Jomsom and Muktinath
as the monsoon does not get in this trans- Himalayan area.
Note :- It is recommended to carry insect repellent when
trekking during summer months.
Autumn being the best season for trekking, affronts excellent
weather and tantalizing mountain views January and February are
noted for cold weather with occasional snowfall at higher
elevations. Again, excellent views are common. These months are
popular and ideal for trekking for those who are well equipped
or who remain at lower elevations below 3,000 meters.
Late February brings spring in Nepal and offers exhilarating
trekking for those who are interested in flowers, birds and
natural grandeur. Different varieties of wild flowers, specially
the rhododendrons make the hill side above 8,000 ft haunting
paradise during this season.
April and May are the expedition season and the best time for
climbing the high peaks . It is mildly warm at lower elevations
but occasional haze mars beautiful view of mountains. At higher
elevations over 4,000 meters the mountain views are excellent
and the temperature is quite moderate even at night. |
