The weather condition you’ll experience depends largely on the time of the year you trek. Normally, the temperature slightly rises during the wet season, as this is actually summer in Nepal.

March is the starting months of spring seasons. Actually, it offers bearable climate i.e. neither too hot in the lower altitude nor too cold in the higher altitude. Also, the lodges which are opened from this month. April would be very nice for trekking.

May remarks the end of the spring season and temperatures start to increase. The climate is little hot during this month. At the lower altitude, trekkers feel getting sweat in the daytime. Whereas, the temperature remains mild at the higher altitude. Very nice flower blooming and nice trekking.

Autumn season is the peak trekking season in Nepal. Once again, this post-monsoon season brings back stable weather conditions. The skies are clear, the temperature is stable, warm days and cool nights.

This time is the coldest, especially from early January to early February. This is when there is heavy snowfall in the mountains and can result to extreme cold temperature. Though the daytime may be warm and admirable with clear skies, the night time would be extremely cold. It would not be suggested to trek only in the lower areas, not the pass during this time because the trek is challenging itself and the snow would make it tougher.

This is the best time of the season to trek to all over Himalya . The weather is very favorable through the trek. Stunning views of the Himalaya and glaciers will be seen. Temperatures may start increasing from the mid of March and with clear skies, snow mountains will be seen at their best. Many trekkers often succeed their expedition in this time. On the journey, the rhododendron flowers will be blooming at its best with a variety of colours.

This is also the perfect time for trekking right before the rainfall. Nepal starts its rainfall from the end of June till mid of August but in upper Mustang is no rain in Monsoon Season . The season of spring and summer makes the trek much more enjoyable.

This is also one of the perfect seasons for the Mustang Trek. This season is the peak of tourists due to the favorable weather. A perfect trekking climate sets itself for Mustang. The temperature goes up to 20 degrees in the daytime and falls down to 10degrees during the night time. This season is when trekkers enjoy trekking the most, with a clear sky, and an amazing view of the mountains and landscape too.

As winter slowly begins, snow falls begin in the Himalaya region and it eventually tough to trek. Nights will start to get colder. November is the busy season as it is the clearest month with sparkling days. The daytime temperatures are very stable and constant and due to this, the view of the clear blue sky and the mountain is phenomenal. From December, the temperature starts to get cold and begins to snow.

The weather in the Mountain region can be unpredictable and the temperature may change quickly from day to night.

On the mountain, you should walk slowly, drink water more, do exercise before coming to Nepal. This way you will be ready for altitude issues. Please, note that your group leader has the ultimate responsibility to decide or stop your ascent based on your overall condition. Altitude sickness is commonly faced by many trekkers and will need immediate treatment and shouldn’t be left ignored. It is essential to keep in mind that some are more vulnerable than others. Follow your guides lecture about the trekking.
