Lots of people show their keen interest to travel Nepal occasionally with friends and families. Country is the best place to enjoy the holidays between mountains and stunning peaks. Nepal has diverse geography and unpredictable weather condition because of its topography and altitude. The northern region is covered with mountains and famous trekking nepal destinations. An altitude above 3000m has alpine climate with considerably lower temperature. Technically we can go around the Himalayan region at any time of year because there are no any restrictions to travel around. Experience of traveling each weather is different and offers lots of variations because of different looking landscapes and environmental condition.
Although we are free to travel anywhere at any time we must prepare a little differently depending on the season and climatic condition. Basically while trekking in Himalayan Region its general for all trekking routes to pick the best month from the season. Everest Base Camp is one of the famous trekking destinations that everyone picks first. The best popular time for trekking can be categorized into two seasons – spring and autumn. Spring season is between late February – March – April. Autumn is between late September – October – November. We can have best experience of trek during October or November because the weather stands the best chance. It is not as cold as in winter and able to see the peaks clearly. After the monsoon passes from September to November temperature is moderate and it gives the best opportunity to experience the stunning best state of Mount Everest.
During premium month the skies are much clear, temperature is warm and night is not too cold. So, this is preferred by lots of the trekkers and the trails are at their busiest. Forests with blooming rhododendron on the route to Everest Base Camp give heavenly feeling during the spring. Lower part of the trek is so stunning with flowering rhododendrons. It becomes easy to hike because the routes are much easier and less slippery than monsoon. We don't have to fear of snow fall and rain because weather is at its calm and cool state. Popular routes are covered with full of trekkers and we have to content with them. However, we can skip traffic preferring the alternate route for trekking. Storms may hit during September to October occasionally so we should get our self ready with suitable gear. We can meet lots of people on the trek this time of year that are going for Everest summit. This is the great time to attempt the climb for successful expeditions. There is less chance of risk and avoid dangerous. People are not likely to suffer from altitude sickness because of adaptable weather condition.
