Autumn is the best season and the Spring season the second good time. Autumn seasons come after the Monsoon season, that is the reason the landscape is green and crystal clear. You can see the fabulous mountain view because the visibility is very clear and less chance of the rainfalls and snowfalls.
Spring season is another best season to hike to Nepal’s high Himalayas. It is the dry season so in a lower land there will be humid temperatures above the low land the temperatures are quite good.
