Best Time to Travel

Choosing the right season matters. Weather, after all, changes everything. Spring and autumn are ideal. In spring (March–May), flowers bloom. Moreover, rhododendrons color the hills. Trails stay dry. Skies stay clear. Autumn (September–November) is also perfect. After monsoon, the air feels fresh. Therefore, mountains look sharp. Weather stays stable.

It’s great for views. Great for walking. However, monsoon (June–August) brings rain. So, trails get muddy. Landslides occur often. Flights may delay. Views disappear quickly. Avoid this season. You will enjoy less.

Likewise, winter (December–February) is freezing. Although peaceful, snow blocks trails. Days feel short. Nights become long. Even so, few experienced trekkers visit. But it’s hard. Therefore, plan smart. For comfort and beauty, choose spring or autumn.

Both offer views. Both offer safety. In addition, both attract friendly travelers. If you love wildflowers, pick spring. If you love clear skies, pick autumn. Either way, joy awaits.

Before booking, check weather updates. Also, confirm flight schedules. Ask your guide too. They usually know best.

With good timing, everything feels better. Moreover, your trip becomes smooth. You’ll walk easier.

In short, timing is key. Therefore, choose wisely. Prepare smartly. And enjoy fully.
