Trekkers Information
Trekkers can find trails every time of the year; however, Nepal’s southern areas receive a high precipitation level. However, some routes along the Great Himalaya Trails lie in the rain shadow, a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain, namely Mustang to the north of Annapurna and Manaslu, Dolpo to the north of Dhaulagiri, and the far west of Nepal to the north of Saipal Himal.
Post monsoon, the weather tends to be more apparent. Winter is good but colder with shorter days, and spring can be affected by seasonal rain and snowstorms. Summer is temporary and is quickly followed by the monsoons. Monsoon treks are usually in the dry Manang and Mustang areas.
Even though rain is quite common and unpredictable, it’s never going to rain 24 hrs. a day other than in monsoon. This time is the perfect time to trek in Nepal because of the lesser crowd, lesser dust, high visibility, and the spectacular flowers brought to life.
