Many visitors to Nepal are hoping for blue skies and clear views of the Himalaya, which are most prevalent in autumn. This is also the best time to see the country at its greenest, fresh from the summer monsoon rinse, but as it is the peak season trails and lodgings are very busy. The other popular time to visit is during the spring months of February, March and early April which bring more warmth, but correspondingly higher levels of haze can obscure mountain views unless you get up into the high country. Winter’s chill is only for the hardiest hikers whereas summer is the lushest season, but bear in mind that the monsoon can bring unpredictable disruption.
