When to visit Nepal

The high season – when thousands of trekkers hit the trails of Annapurna, Everest and Langtang – runs from early October to late November and brings unrivalled views of the high Himalayas. March and April, when Everest expeditions head to base camp for the annual climbing season and the rhododendrons are in full bloom, is another good time to visit. During the summer (June to September) the heavy monsoon rains bring mud and leeches to some hiking trails, and some heavy hotel discounts to match.
