Autumn (September - November) and spring (March - May) is the best season for trekking and mountaineering in Nepal. Weather is mostly clear and temperature is moderate in these seasons which offer beautiful views without any obstruction. Spring grants you beautiful flowers, plants and rare animals. Walking is favorable during these seasons. Summer (June - August) and winter (December - February).
Though summer has heavy monsoon rainfall, it is very much clearer to trek around Upper Mustang Trek, Upper Dolpo Trek and Nar Phu Valley Trek since they are rain shadow areas. Everest Base Camp Trek, Langtang Valley Trek, Annapurna Base Camp Trek, as well as Pikey Peak Trek are always better to trek in winter season.
Trekking can be challenging and exhausting. So you might need some fitness training and experience for some tough trial. Nepal Trekking in Everest Base Camp does not require past experience or extreme fitness even though we have more challenging routes in different region compared to that of Everest.

I recently got back from doing the Manaslu circuit trek with Himalaya Magic Treks and can't recommend them enough. It's a family run business and they really do all they can to make you feel as welcome as possible, looking after you every step of the way. Everything was taken care of from the second you landed until departure. For anyone looking into trekking in the Himalayas look no further than HMT. Special thanks to Sitaram, Nabin & Bom for making me so welcome.

Nabin did a great job helping us plan our Manaslu trek. Everything was tailored to our dreams and hopes.
It was our first trek with a guide but Dendi really did an amazing job. From helping us translate and with the food to feeling welcome in the towns along the path getting to know the people, Dendi really did everything perfect.Not a week goes by where we’re not remembering and talking about our trip. It’s an experience for life and we will definitely choose Himalayan Magic Trek, Nabin and Dendi again
