Nepal has tremendous variation in climates. The lowland plains are tropical, the midland hills are temperate, and the high mountains have frigid conditions. For trekkers, the fall and the spring offer the best clarity of the mountain views and mild temperatures. Below are Nepal’s trekking seasons:

Fall Peak Season: October and November

The months of October and November are peak trekking seasons in Nepal. Temperatures are mild, the weather is relatively stable, and the clear air makes for superb mountain views. The high mountains are still cold and lower elevations are still warm but the daytime walking temperatures are the most pleasant overall. Bad weather can hit any time of year but the fall has the most reliable conditions.

Spring Season: February through April

The second most popular time of the year for trekking in Nepal is from late February through April. The spring temperatures are similar to the fall and the trails are less crowded, but there is slightly more haze and precipitation. This means that in the spring you will need to reach higher elevations for clear mountain views, usually around 3000m and above. In this period Snow that accumulates during winter melts away by April, clearing paths for high mountain passes over 5000m. Clear skies early in spring also mean there is less chance of flight cancellations and Obvious of Fewer trekkers compared to October and November, which means more chances to experience the corners of the Himalayas.

Shoulder Months: September and December

The shoulder seasons can be excellent, particularly the second half of September and early December, but they are also more of a risk. If you’re lucky, you will experience peak season conditions with only a fraction of the trekkers. If the monsoon lingers or the winter arrives early, the weather won’t be nearly as pleasant.
December is normally dry, stable, and clear, but also cold, especially at higher elevations. By mid-December high elevation trekking becomes difficult and many teahouses close. During the winter the mountain passes may require technical equipment and experience.
