Best seasons for trekking

Photo: Rice terraces at SeraThe best times to visit are during spring (October/November) and autumn (March/April).

In spring the rhododendrons will be blooming, while the clearest skies are found in autumn after the monsoon rains have finished and cleaned the atmosphere. At these times the weather is generally mild and there is little rainfall.

It is possible to trek at other times, but in winter the high passes are likely to be closed, and in monsoon, the trails are likely to be very wet and slippery.
