Your best time to travel to Nepal is October to November or February to April. Visit Nepal during October to November, as this is the time when you can expect better visibility, the air is fresh, and the weather is perfect and that the Nepalese most important festivals (Dashain and Tihar) are marked during that season .
May to June is also a good time to travel although the weather is hot and dusty- you can live with that; wear a mask and a Nepali Topi (Cap) and learn how Nepalese get along with this period.
December to January is the winter season in Nepal, which is also a good time to travel; the climate and visibility is good. Snow jackets and sweaters are recommended. Manson starts from Mid June to September; traveling during this period is not advisable but if you do just bring your raincoat during that season.

Where is the best place to trek in Nepal?
Most people want to see the Himalaya (note the singular – right on. It means ‘abode of snows’). As they have some interest in anything from hillwalking through rock climbing and even mountaineering then most trekkers will want to be in amongst the big mountains. Well they don’t come any bigger than Mount Everest in Eastern Nepal and for a number of people this is one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences; to see the biggest mountain in the world from as close up as possible. Travelling in the other direction from Kathmandu brings you to the Annapurnas and the famous Annapurna Circuit and Annapurna Sanctuary. In the middle are the Langtang and Helambu National Parks. All of the ‘big three’ are accessible and realistic ambitions for first time trekkers.
