When to trek in Nepal

There are two major factors to weigh as you decide when to go to Nepal: crowds and weather. As a general rule, the better the weather, the more people come to Nepal to go trekking.


During autumn the nights are cold in the mountains, but the bright sun makes for pleasant day temperatures - in the high 20s° C, falling to 5° C at night, between 1000 meters and 3500 meters. At higher altitudes temperatures range from about 20° C down to -10° C. Mornings are usually clear with clouds building up during the afternoon, disappearing at night to reveal spectacular starry skies. During winter it is about 10 degrees colder.


Early December usually has a lull, but this is also a good trekking season. The Christmas period is cold, but this is the holiday season in Japan and Australia. High passes, especially Throng La on the Around Annapurna trek and Laurabina Pass on the Gosainkund trek are usually closed from late November to March. February is still cold, though less so as the spring trekking season of March and April approaches.


What is trekking?
Though, we have different activities, trekking is the ultimate way of enjoying the scenic magnificence and knowing people with great cultural heritage in Nepal. You will see the great diversity of Nepal during your trekking. The vast landscape of this country has been studded with mighty Himalayas, mysterious monasteries and temples, ancient cities, various endangered species and highly fascinating flora and fauna, which offer you the most spectacular trekking and touring in this part of world. Trekking allows you to walk through villages, which are yet to be influenced by the 21st century. You can either choose the virgin tracks or the beaten trails to reach the lofty Himalayas, "the Stairs of Heaven." For our customers' amusement and adventure, we do offer the treks to many regions depending upon their time and interest. Some people have misconception that during the trekking they have to climb. But trekking does not mean mountain climbing, trekking always refers to walking on trails.


You can always take plenty of time during the trekking to cover distance. We allow ample time for photo stops and for answering individual questions. If you have a good physical condition, a trek should prove no difficulty. Previous experience in hiking and living outdoors is, however, helpful. Mountaineering experience is not necessary, but you must enjoy walking.


Trekking in Nepal will take you through a country that has captured the imagination of mountaineers and explorers for more than 100 years. You will meet people in remote mountain villages whose lifestyle has not changed in generations.

Preparing for a Trek:
The following information will assist you to get ready for a trek in Nepal. Nepal treks allow you to experience the Himalayan countryside and to meet the people of the hills with a minimum of formality and preparation. If you follow the suggestions here, you will have ideas of equipment, visa and physical condition that you need to enjoy your trek. Read this information carefully so that you will know what to expect when you arrive in Nepal.


There are many preparations that you can make before you depart for Nepal. Most important are your passport and a visa for Nepal, your clothing and trekking equipment, medical supplies. While some of these projects can be postponed until the last minute (by getting a visa at the airport in Kathmandu or renting your trekking equipment in Nepal, it is recommended that you make most preparations in advance so that you do not waste time during your holiday.


Climate:
Nepal has four distinct seasons. Spring, from March to May, is warm and dusty with rain showers at the end of May. Summer, from June to August, is the monsoon season when the hills turn lush and green. Autumn, from September to November, is cool with clear skies, and is the most popular trekking season. In winter, from December to February, it is cold at night and can be foggy in the early morning, but afternoons are usually clear and pleasant, though there is occasional snow in the mountains. Nepal is quite far south (at the same latitude as Miami and Cairo) the weather is warmer and winter is much milder at lower elevations, including Kathmandu at 1400 meters. It rarely snows below 2000 metres.


The monsoon in the Bay of Bengal governs the weather pattern. The monsoon creates a rainy season from the middle of June to the middle of September. It is hot during the monsoon and it rains, but it is a considerate rain, limiting itself mostly to the night. It usually does not rain for more than one or two days during the entire autumn season from mid-October to mid-December. During winter and spring there may be a week or so of rainy evenings and occasional thunderstorms blanket the hills with snow. The Himalaya makes its own localised weather, which varies significantly over a distance of a few km.


In Kathmandu, spring and autumn days are comfortable and the evenings are cool, usually requiring a light jacket or pullover. Winter in Kathmandu brings cold foggy mornings and clear evenings, but pleasant day temperatures with brilliant sunshine most days after the morning fog has lifted. It never snows in Kathmandu, though there is frost on cold nights in January and February. The hottest month is May, just before the rains start.
