The spring season is a blessing of nature in Nepal. During this period, the flowers bloom and make the hillocks and mountains look colorful.

Summer is always warmer and hot but humid. This is the best season for trekkers and travelers who have an extreme interest in botany as a species of floras will be blooming everywhere. The valleys and the hills will be covered with amazingly gorgeous flowers and lush vegetation. The temperature of 20 goes higher up to 35 degrees. So it is pretty necessary to keep yourself hydrated throughout the trip. Even though summertime is the best time to trek in Nepal, there may be the chance to enjoy rainfall during the summer.

During the monsoon in Nepal, there are heavy rainfalls with high humidity. The skies are full of fogs, mostly blocking the fantastic views of the Himalayas. It might become difficult to walk.
