If you want to trek to Everest base camp or elsewhere in the Khumbu region or another part of Nepal and thinking when is best time trekking in Nepal we can say September to November and March to May then the critical issue in planning when to trek is the monsoon period which runs from June to August. During the monsoon period, there is still excellent trekking in the Western part of Nepal around Annapurna, Mustang, and Langtang as these largely lie in a rain shadow. However, you need to be ready for serious rain; generally, this is confined to shorter storms in the afternoon. The period around Christmas and New Year is cold but with good thermals, this can be a great time to trek as the trails are much quieter. We do not organize peak climbing during this period as by the time you reach 6000m it is really cold. #head9 Tips to remember Before Trekking in Nepal >Bag Do not carry unnecessary stuff.
