Nepal is a broadly temperate country, with four major seasons. While every season has its own pros and cons, various destinations have its own preferred season. But since the most visits to Nepal is for trekking and most trekkers usually prefer most popular treks in Nepal, the month of autumn sees the highest crowd of visitors.

Autumn/Fall (September – November)

Autumn is considered as the best season for trekking in Nepal. It is normally dry, stable and clear. The weather is most reliable during this season as the recent rain has cleared all the dust and the sky is clear which makes it an excellent weather and gives tantalizing mountain views. The season also caters the few of the most important festival of Nepal, Dashain, and Tihar, making it the preferred season for all travelers as they get to enjoy the local festival and culture. The most traveled destinations during this month is Everest Region, Annapurna Region.
 

Winter (December – February)

Winter is generally a risky time for trekking to higher altitudes. It is a great time to trek lower altitudes. This season notes occasional snowfall at higher elevations with risky winds and colder temperature. Though it gets cold at night, but the days offer clear skies, also relatively very fewer trekkers are seen on the trail. However, while choosing treks during winter as climbing and crossing high passes trip won’t be an ideal option. Hence lower elevation destinations are ideal for trekking. Climbing Mera peak, Island peak, Chulu, Annapurna, Everest, Langtang in early winter have been quite popular over the past few years.

Spring (March- May)

Spring is the second best season opted by many tourists. During spring the days are longer and the weather is warmer. The mornings are usually clear but afternoons can be a bit cloudy with occasional rains. The main factor why this season sees a fall in no. of visitor is a disappointing haze that keeps up in the elevation during this period. However different varieties of wildflower especially rhododendrons make the hill station a paradise for nature lovers, also it is the best time for viewing the wildlife. Late-march to April is especially beautiful as it is also a good time for trekking in the high passes which 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.

MONSOON (June – August)

June to early Septembers is the main rainy season in Nepal which involves heavy rainfall making the treks very unfavorable. Rainfall in Nepal has its own twist as it rains during night which clears the sky and gives the Himalayas an enchanting view. These times are paradise for botanist and keen Forest researchers as the higher valleys and meadows are blessed with flowers and lush vegetations. There is also an exception to thunderstorm, hail storm and strong winds which make it a pretty bad season to trek. However, trekking regions connecting to Tibet and some desert parts of Nepal like Manang, Upper Mustang, Nar-Phu Valley, Tsum Valley and Upper Dolpo or Far West Nepal are best trekking routes during this season. As these regions lie in a rain-shadow, it receives significantly less rainfall than the southerly areas.
