The Best Time to Book Trekking Holidays in Nepal
Nepal is a haven destination for trekkers around the globe. Though a year-round traveling destination, some challenging trek routes are only convenient during the season. When the monsoon season ends, Nepal enters its ideal trekking season, offering the perfect conditions to explore its stunning landscapes.
Usually, the rainfall episode in Nepal starts in June and ends in the first week of September. Thus, the dawn of September shows the promise of a great trekking season in Nepal. This peak season for trekking grants you a spectacular view of the Himalayas with a clear sky above you. So, the inbound of trekkers from every corner of the globe is expected to be high. For lesser traffic in the Himalayas, you can trek in Nepal's less traveled region.
Here are some reasons why now is the best time to book trekking holidays in Nepal.
Of course, the weather!
Although Nepal's weather and climate are unpredictable throughout the year due to its geographical positioning, the four months starting from September are the best time to trek. From September, you don’t need to worry about the weather as the monsoon season will have already come to an end. However, trekkers might experience slight rainfall in September's first and second weeks.
Travel Along.
Some of Nepal's acclaimed trekking routes attract trekkers from around the world. So, you will meet many other fellow trekkers on your way to these acclaimed trekking routes. But if the traffic in the Himalayas annoys you, picking less traveled trek routes can be an alternative. However, trekking routes like Everest Base Camp and Annapurna Base Camp are some of the high-profile trekking routes in Nepal, sure to have many admirers on the way. But it’s always fascinating to listen to other travellers' stories while sipping hot tea in the Himalayas.
The Festivals.
Nepal is a multicultural country with unity in diversity. Although Nepal celebrates festivals year-round, the biggest is the festival of Dashain and Tihar. If you are planning to trek in Nepal during October and November, then your trek might coincide with the grand festival of Dashain and Tihar during your visit. The festival of Dashain lasts for ten days, and Tihar lasts for three days.
Spectacular Views.
This is when the monsoon clouds do not bother the routes anymore. The sun will be high and shining with a clear sky, and trekkers will see the scenic beauty of Nepal in no better way than this time. Slight snow may fall during this season, which makes the season even more dazzling.
These are just a few reasons why many consider September, October, November, and December the best months to trek in Nepal.
