Best Season for this Trip:
Spring (March to May): Spring is one of the most popular times for this trek. The weather is temperate, with daytime temperatures at lower altitudes ranging between 10°-20°C, while up in the mountains it is much cooler. The trial is adorned with a fully blossomed Rhododendron forest. Generally, the weather remains clear, affording great vistas of Langtang Lirung and the surrounding heights. Spring is the best time for lovers of nature and photography. Summer/Monsoon (June to August): Now, summer in Nepal coincides with the rainy season, and a lot of rain comes at this time of the year. The trails can become muddy and slippery, and in certain areas, landslides could become a risk. For the most part, the mountains would seem to be shrouded in clouds, but the views of verdant greenery and rejuvenated landscapes are blissful. It is also a less-crowded period, making it a good choice for trekkers in search of solitude. For trekking during this period, rain gear is a must.
Autumn (September - November): The busiest trekking season will see some stable weather with crystal-clear skies. Between 10° and 15°C during the day, temperatures are pleasant but may get much colder at night at a higher altitude. The views look fresh as a bone after the monsoon rains and perfect for mountain vistas. This season is very ideal for trekkers who want to get the best of both cultural and natural highlights. Winter (December - February): It is still possible to trek during winter; however, expect plenty of cold, especially over 3000m when temperatures drop below -10 on the trekking path. Expect solitude from up the trails where serenity reigns. Snow can be found on the topsy, increasing traverse difficulty but simultaneously enhancing silence and the spell. This season needs warm winter clothing and equipment.
