Autumn: this time of the year is known as the peak season for trekking in Nepal. During this period, the Magnificent Mountains have their allure. As it is a festive month, you interact more with the locals. The weather is stable, with clear skies. The trails are suitable for trekking during this time. 

Spring: This time of the year is also known as the blooming season. The trails are covered with lush forest and rhododendron trees. The temperature is warm, providing a comfortable trekking experience. The mountains are more snow-capped and visible during this time.

We do not recommend trekking during the monsoon and winter seasons. This is because of heavy rainfalls and snow falls during the period.
