Trekking Seasons in Nepal

Trekking in Nepal can be done all year around, have a look at the following table: 

SeasonMonthsTrekking Notes
AutumnSeptember to NovemberExcellent season for trekking in all areas, clear mountain views.
WinterDecember to FebruaryIdeal for trekking in regions below 2500 meters altitude.
SpringMarch to May
Nepal's national flower Guranse (rhododendrons in English) colors the mountains, moderate temperature makes a perfect choice for trekking in hilly regions but trekking in tarai can be a little burdensome due to high temperature in the region.
SummerJune to August
Monsoon is in the period. Expect wet, warm and wild trekking during the season. This is the season to see lush green valleys with rice crops and greenest thick jungles.


What to bring?
Just about anything light will do fine... but without that heavy load I wouldn't feel trekking!

2. Reading books 
3. Battery powered reading lamps 
4. Swiss army knife
