Can I trek in Nepal during monsoon season?
While the monsoon season, which typically runs from June to August, can be an excellent time to trek in some regions of Nepal, it’s not the best time for everyone. The monsoon can bring heavy rainfall, landslides, and congested trails, making trekking more challenging and less enjoyable. However, some trekking routes, such as the Upper Mustang and theManang Valley, are relatively drier and can be trekked during this time. On the other hand, popular routes like the Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, and Langtang Valley can be affected by landslides and mudslides. At Mount Elegance Treks and Expedition, we recommend trekking in Nepal during the spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November) when the weather is usually clear and dry, and the trails are less crowded. If you still wish to trek during the monsoon season, please consult with us, and we’ll help you choose a suitable route and itinerary.
