Nepal
climate varies according to its season. Autumn and spring are the two
most favorable seasons for visiting Nepal.Autumn starts from early
September to early December and brings in clear weather with sunny days
and warm nights. Whereas spring starts from the beginning of March to
the end of May with occasional rain falls. From June to September, is
the monsoon season. Trekking is generally difficult and uncomfortable as
the climate of Nepal at this time of year brings about hot weather and
rain falls almost every day. The trails become muddy and are often
leech-infested. Moreover, the mountains are usually obscured by cloud.
There are, however, possibilities for summer trekking in the
trans-Himalayan regions of Mustang, Dolpo and Tibet. These regions lie
in a rain-shadow and therefore receive significantly less precipitation
than the more southerly areas.
CLIMATE CONSIDERATION FOR TREKKING TRIPS
Autumn (mid-September to end-November)
This is the most popular time to trek. Generally during autumn, the
weather is clear with mild to warm days and cold nights. However, in the
higher altitude, the nights drop into freezing temperature. In this
season, the mountains views are astonishingly clear.
Approach to winter and the mid winter (end-November through March)
It is also possible to trek during winter, from December until the end
of February. Daytime temperatures will be cooler; however, the nights
will often be very cold. The days are generally clear but occasional
winter storms can bring snow as low as 2500m. Early October through late
November is also the busiest period for trekking. But in mid winter
(January through March), trekking is more challenging in the high
altitudes with semi-regular snowfall followed by more winter storms,
which break the long fine periods. The mid-December to mid-February is
the coldest time.
As
snow gets harder and wind condition remains stabilized in early winter,
climbing some of trekking peaks is possible. Climbing Mera peak, Island
peak, Chulu, and trekking in Annapurna, Everest, Langtang in early
winter have been quite popular over the past few years.
Spring and early summer (mid-March through May)
In the spring, the mornings are usually clear but afternoon cloud
build-up brings occasional showers. The days are mix up with warm and
rain, which displays wildflowers like rhododendrons. The whole country
is lush and an abundant green at this season. This period instigate the
second most popular and pleasant trekking season as this is
rice-planting time. Late-march into April is especially beautiful. It is
also a good time for climbing as the high passes are usually snow free
and the mountain views are still clear in April. Up to May, the weather
becomes hazy and disturbed with the clouds.
