Nepal for all
Seasons :
Within the small land mass occupied
by Nepal, the visitors can relish
the typical wonder that every season
has to offer. Most of the cultural
tours in Nepal are situated in the Kathmandu
valley which has moderate
temperature throughout the year. For
the trekking, every season comes
with its own unique
conditions.
Spring: With the winter just
finished, the temperature is mild
and the sky is usually clear with
great view of the snow filled
mountains. With flowers
blooming everywhere and the aroma
feeling the air, this season is a nature lovers
dream.
Summer: Summer in Nepal
brings the
monsoon rain. Life giving rains
brings greenery with water falls and cascade sprouting
everywhere. It is also the best time
to visit the rain shadow areas like
Mustang, Dolpo, Tibet.
Autumn: With the monsoon just over
and greenery everywhere, this is the
festive season in Nepal. With mild
temperature and clear blue sky, it
can be considered the best season to
trek in the mountains.
Winter: In the winter, trekking is
only enjoyable in the low altitude
areas up to 3500 meters where there
is only occasional snow fall. Warm
sun in the day time makes sure that
it isn't too cold. With temperature
slowly plummeting, night time can
often be really cold. |
