Where one can plan the adventure around these dry countries with less rain to expect. As most of the day will be warm with enough sun-light hours, but cold in the morning and night time.

The best time to visit Nepal is in the spring season as well as the high and peak season of tourism around the Himalayas. Nepal includes Bhutan, Tibet, and North East and West areas of India also. Where days are warm with enough sunshine, with the new blossom of plants and wildflowers, especially the rhododendron of various species.

Around higher hills and mountainous regions, chances of snowfall sometimes will add more excitement to the adventure.

Winter Season low season for tourism in Nepal, December to mid-February:

For those who prefer the low season with a fewer number of tourists, then the winter season is a perfect time from December to February. But if you are interested in treks and climbing during winter times can be quite risky due to heavy snowfall. Especially for treks that involve high passes like Thorang-La in Annapurna Circuit or around Dhaulagiri, Makalu, and Kanchenjunga trekking areas.

These regions are not strongly recommended, due to the danger of much snow on trial and passes. But for short and moderate treks it will be best even in winter times like around the southern side of Annapurna. Including Langtang valley of a week trek and Everest base camp or around the high Khumbu region.

In winter times Nepal gets fewer trekkers, but enjoyable destination for the Christmas and New Year holidays on the laps of the high Himalayan mountain range.

Summer and Monsoon wet season from June to August:

Besides the best time of spring and autumn, few visitors travel to Nepal for various trekking regions. Like Upper and Lower Dolpo including Upper Mustang, Humla, and Limi valley, as well as to enter Tibet from Nepal.

As these areas get very little rain, that is why the country is much arid with dry landscapes. The monsoon clouds get blocked by the high Himalayan range, where all these regions fall within the rain shadow. Located on an extension of the vast southwest Tibetan plateau. 

Nepal for all seasons to visit various exotic Himalayan destinations, but still, the best time is spring and autumn. The most favorable seasons are preferred by many worldwide visitors.
