It has three distinct geographical regions: the Lowland, hilly, and Himalayan regions. There are climatic variations in each region. Lowlands are warm, hilly areas are moderate, and the Himalayan regions are cold. The weather frequently changes in mountain regions, even several times a day.

It may not be the same weather as forecasted. Here are the temperature and climatic variations in the Annapurna, Everest, and Mountain ranges of  Nepal: contact us for more information about the Weather and Climate in Nepal over the years.

Weather and Climate in the Nepal Himalaya in Autumn

Autumn is Nepal's primary trekking season. The weather is crystal clear from morning to evening during this season, so the Himalayan views are breathtaking. The days are pretty warm, and the nights get cold in the mountain range. However, the trails are always busy with foreigners in major trekking areas.

Weather and Climate in the Nepal Himalaya in Winter

Winter is the quiet, low season for trekking because the weather in the Himalayas is cold and there is heavy snowfall. However, a short, easy trek can be done at this time. Days are short and chilling. Places of low altitude and cultural visits are popular in winter. If you still love extra adventure, you may choose trekking in the Annapurna, Langtang, and Everest regions. Another good thing is that fewer people are crowded into lodges and on trails.

Weather and Climate in the Nepal Himalaya in Spring

Spring is a very suitable time for travel in Nepal. It is when trees, meadows, and forests begin to be green everywhere. It can occasionally rain in the evening and during the day. It is the big season of blooming flowers in the forest, including Rhododendrons and bush flowers. April is also a good time for high-altitude trekking and climbing peaks. So, Spring is the best time for trekkers and climbers after autumn, thanks to the fine weather.

Weather and Climate in Nepal Himalaya during the Monsoon

The Bay of Bengal in India determines the Monsoon of Nepal. Monsoon season (June to July) was used as the offseason due to muddy trails and frequent landslides. Now, climate change has made trekking possible, even in the Monsoon. The season is suitable for hiking in the Himalayan rain shadow area.

Monsoon season is an excellent time to explore the forbidden kingdom of Upper Mustang, the sacred pilgrimage destination Muktinath, Jomsom, and other trails in the Annapurna region. These places are rich in natural and cultural heritage. Dolpo and Tibet are different options to explore during the Monsoon.

Best weather and climate in the Nepal Himalaya

Nepal is a small country, but you can travel there from the first week of March to the end of May, and from the first week of September to the end of December again; these are Nepal’s best trekking weather and climate. However, it is best to wear warm clothing when traveling or trekking in the Nepalese Himalayas.

Boundless Adventure provides down jackets and a sleeping bag for trekking in the Nepal Himalayas, but you must bring the rest of your trekking equipment.

If climbing ice (climbing a peak or expectations), you need the best climbing equipment, like tents. Otherwise, it may be blown away by the strong winds, leaving you cold. We will provide you with some more climbing gear from the company, which you must return to us at the end of the trip to Kathmandu.
