Why is Nepal best known for its trekking Himalayas, Mount Everest?

Why is Nepal best known for its trekking Himalayas, Mount Everest? In Nepal, eight of the world’s 14, eight thousand meter peaks establish world-class mountain-and trekking prospects. However, Nepal has a lot more to offer than its mountains. Kathmandu, its capital, is a vibrant city with seven UNESCO World Heritage sites including Boudhnath, the world’s largest Buddhist stupa. The subtropical lowlands of Nepal are the birthplace of tigers, elephants, and rhinos. Nepalese people are one of the warmest and most welcoming people in the world.

Many visitors to Nepal in spring and autumn, but winter and summer have also become popular in recent years. Trekking in the Himalayas is an experience that changes many travelers ‘ lives. Longer excursions include the Everest Base Camp Trek, the Annapurna Circuit, and the newly famous Manaslu Circuit, while the Ghorepani Trek to Poon hill provides short treks for those traveling on the lower mountains. Rafting the Nepal Rivers is a world-class rafting experience and mountain biking on various trails in Nepal and paragliding across Phewa Lake in Pokhara.

Best time to visit Nepal

Some guidebooks say spring and autumn are the best times to visit Nepal, because the weather appears to be mild and fair, with clear skies. There is much more to this because of the complex existence of the geography and climate of Nepal. An ever-increasing number of travelers visit Nepal, and for good reason, in winter and summer. Nepal is a great destination year-round, with the right information, a travel plan, and scheduling.

Winter brings cold weather to higher altitudes but it is a good time for a crystal clear sky in Nepal. Treks in the lower mountains of the Himalayas are ideal in winter, as are Chitwan and Bardia jungles in the south of Nepal.

Spring is a busy time to trek in Nepal with rising temperatures and more stable weather. The roads are more populated and the sky can sometimes be a little unclear. Spring has wonderful festivals, including Holi in March and the New Year in April in Nepalese.

Summer is monsoon season, with hot, wet weather, with most trekking areas with cloudy skies and rain. You can choose a hike in the Himalayan rainy shadows, like Upper Mustang or Nar Phu, at this time of year. The Yarthung Horse Festival takes place in Manang in June.

Autumn is the most common trekking season due to the normal calm weather, moderate temperatures, and clear skies. With the weather at its best, the crowds are also at their height! The big festivals like Dashain (October) and Tihar (November) are held in the autumn.

Winter Season in Nepal

Winter in Nepal holds cool, dry weather and frequent snow in the mountains. The skies are crystal clear, making winter one of the greatest seasons for undisturbed, fresh views of the 8,000 meter Himalayan giants. There may be fewer people, so you will have much of the views to yourself.

Where to go in winter season?

In winter, Nepal’s high-mountain areas and the traditional treks that include crossings through the high passes are too cold. During winter, the foothills of Nepal are high, below 4,000 meters, at night it gets cold, but during the day it’s very comfortable when you warm up on hiking. Many of Nepal’s short hikes are great choices for winter, and some local experts think winter is the best time to walk on the lower Solukhumbu region south of Everest, and on short hikes close to Pokhara. In winter, it’s moderate temperatures in the lowlands, including the Chitwan-National Park and Bardia Parks.

Information for visiting Nepal during winter

> Bring enough layers and a down jacket. When trekking, a down sleeping bag is also suggested.

Spring Season in Nepal

Spring is one of Nepal’s two major trekking seasons (the other trekking season is autumn) because of its pleasant weather, which provides optimal conditions for the classic treks in Nepal, which include high passes. A spring downside is that the skies sometimes get hazy, blocking mountain views. The trekking trails are busy, which means you can encounter travelers from all over the world on the famous trekking routes, which is a good yet disadvantage for those who prefer nature for oneself.

Where to go in spring season?

Throughout a season, the higher mountains hosting Nepal’s iconic treks deliver healthy conditions. It’s a perfect time to cross high passes like Larkya La (on the Manaslu Circuit Trek), Kongma La (Three Passes Trek), Thorung La (Annapurna Circuit Trek) and hike to Nepal’s highlights like Kala Pattar and Gokyo Ri in the Everest area. To avoid crowds, choose an off the beaten route. Kathmandu gets warmer, and Thamel becomes a tourist’s major hub. Bardia National Park gets very hot, offering the best tiger spotting opportunity.

Information for visiting Nepal during spring

> Nepal’s popular Rhododendrons are booming. The lower areas around Pokhara are good in early spring. They start blooming above Namche in the Everest region late spring.

> On huge treks, temperatures vary greatly from lower to higher altitudes and night to day. Please bring Layers.

> Plan your stay during one of the major festivals: Holi (March’s color festival) and New Year’s Nepalese (April).

> Choose a lesser-known hike or visit early or late spring to beat the crowds.

Summer Season in Nepal

Summer is the monsoon season, meaning the weather is hot and humid, and most days it rains. Wildflowers are in blooming and lush foothills. Monsoon begins early June and ends early September. Throughout summer, have some flexibility in your vacation plans because flight delays and cancellations are more popular because of poor weather. Landslides may arise, causing road and path closures, often obstructing views. Leeches can also be a frustration.

Where to go in summer season?

Treks in the Himalayan rain shadow are safest during monsoon, including Upper Mustang, Nar Phu, Upper Dolpo, and Limi Valley. Lower Everest regions are also fine. Kathmandu is hot and humid, and the southern lowlands are even hotter, but if you can handle the weather they offer great wildflowers, green forest and tiger spotting.

Information for visiting Nepal during summer

> Carry an umbrella, as the climate is typically too hot to carry a rain jacket. Rain showers often go by and an umbrella lets you keep doing what you’re doing. It also gives great protection from the sun.

> Be mindful that travel may be unreliable due to flight cancellations and road closures affected by climate and heavy rains.

> Look for leeches in certain areas-long pants and bug spray can help.

> Monsoon has unique festivals like Dancing with Shamans (August Full Moon), Ropain (Rice planting festival in June) and Kora, a cycling competition that takes place every July, taking thousands of mountain bikers to Kathmandu.

Autumn Season in Nepal

Autumn is Nepal’s most famous trekking time. It’s also a wonderful time to visit Nepal for cultural reasons, as there are several festivities, nature has vibrant colors, as everything has just been washed and vegetation has developed through the monsoon. Such wonderful weather brings a lot of visitors from all over the world, so the trails seem to be active and the teahouses full of room.

Where to go in the autumn season?

Like spring, autumn has the right environment for iconic Nepal treks, and the same excursions listed in the spring segment apply. The clouds appear to be brighter, offering the fall a slight edge over the season. It tempers this benefit a little by the large crowds, making it preferable to find less common treks. As for other places to sports, all parts of Nepal are available during fall, and the weather is mild and therefore ideal for traveling.

Information for visiting Nepal during autumn

> September could still have any moisture as the monsoon season recedes.

> Early Autumn may still see any of the destroyed trails affected by monsoon landslides.
