Nepal Monsoon Trek

Nepal Monsoon Trek offers some of the best monsoon treks as well that offer very peaceful treks without crowds. It is always while the fall season may have the clearest sky that trekking during the summer (from the beginning of June, July, and August) has its rewards. Some treks should be avoided, but for certain areas, it is a great time to visit Nepal: the trails are less crowded, the villages are full of life, and the valleys are in bloom and green, whereas winter and spring are dry and grey.

Trekking in Nepal during the monsoon season or the summer spans from the beginning of June to August and sometimes until early September has heavy rainfall in most parts of Nepal and the roads and trekking paths become wet and muddy, and the weather is the most important factor for the trekking, so there is a noticeable risk of landslides, floods, and trail and roadblocks on your trekking route, so we have selected only a few treks for the season where there is less risk of these factors.

Cultural city tours such as the Kathmandu tour, Pokhara, Lumbini tour, and Safari in Chitwan National Park have no issues, and they are accessible and very doable all around the year, and some short treks such as the Annapurna Base Camp, Langtang Valley Trek, Mardi Himal Trek, and Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek are possible on monsoon in Nepal, providing a peaceful environment without crowds like in peak seasons, full of green and alpine flowers blossomed with chances of great landscape view.
