Best Season for Ganesh Himal and Ruby Valley Trekking.

Nearly all months of the year except the monsoon wet and rainy times from mid-June to early September, including middle December to February months of the winter season.

The very best time for this marvelous adventure is the spring season from March to May when days are clear most of the month’s chances of light rain and snow sometimes in the late afternoon. Cold in the morning and night time, but very scenic with wildflowers in seasonal bloom especially tall trees to bush rhododendron, magnolia, and other bright flowers.

The day is clear for grand views of snow peaks and with much longer sunlight hours during the spring season, the next best season is autumn/fall to pre-winter from the middle month of September to early December.

Although much colder mornings and evening time, with short sunlight hours due to autumn and near winter, most days are bright and clear for mountain views and walks with the bright starry night sky. Chances of snow in higher areas sometimes.
