The best seasons for trekking in Nepal are spring and autumn. Therefore, you can make your planned trip to Annapurna Base Camp & Mardi Himal for the spring and autumn. The Monsoon is the rainy season. We don’t recommend trekking during the monsoon season because of muddy trails, landslides, Leeches, and cloudy weather, making it a difficult and risky journey. In winter, trekking trails may be covered with snow and can become slippery and challenging. However, the snow on the trekking paths makes it adventurous and picturesque.
