Firstly, Spring which last from March to May which is warm with rain showers and temperature around 22 degrees Celsius. This season most preferred for trekking as Rhododendrons (National flower of Nepal) are in complete blossom around the mountain regions.
Secondly, Summer which last from June to August is the monsoon season with temperature up to 30 degrees Celsius which makes difficult to trek during this season. Because, the trails for trekking being very muddy makes difficult to trek.

This season provides the more suitable trek in rain shadow area like Upper Mustang, around Annapurna etc. These regions can be trek during this season because this region lies out of reach of rain clouds because of huge mountains and re unaffected by the monsoon.

Lastly winter, from December to February which is cold at night with temperature below zero. However in the mountains the maximum temperature can reach up to 20 degrees Celsius. During this season it is still suitable for trekking and hiking at lower altitudes under 3000 meter high.
