Are you looking for a trek in Nepal during the monsoon? If so, it is not the best time for all trekking routes; however, there are some trekking routes for the monsoon season, too. Nepal has been called a heaven on earth and is a wonder in the Himalayas. It is the Shangri-La, the roof of the world, the living cultural museum, the birthplace of the Lord Buddha, and the country of the living goddess. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of attractions and adventure opportunities found nowhere else on Earth. Due to Nepal's unique geography, landscape, and climate, nature lovers can choose trekking destinations at any time of the year. Normally, four seasons are considered in Nepal, each of which has its particular attraction to offer trekkers.
The primary trekking seasons in Nepal are fall and spring due to favorable weather conditions. Heavy rain falls in Nepal from mid-June to August (monsoon). During the monsoon, most of the trekking areas of Nepal are unfavorable due to rain and fog. However, because of our unique geography, we have some rain shadow areas where there won’t be rain in the lap of the High Himalayas, near the Tibet border, and in Tibet itself, which, with the arid climate, makes it perfect for monsoon trekking in Nepal as an alternative. Not only that, those places are behind the huge Himalayas, and it will be warm and good weather for Nepal Monsoon Treks since it is too cold to do trekking in other seasons. The monsoon session trip offers you fewer trekkers on the trails, and you can enjoy the solitude and beauty of the mountains without any crowds. The vegetation, wildlife activities, and mountain scenery are stunning, and the livelihood of the high mountains is interesting—plus you have more chances to be close to local people to seek their culture, tradition, and beliefs during the Nepal Monsoon Trek. Mustang, Manang, and Dolpo are known as the “Kingdom beyond the Himalayas,” which lies in the rain shadow of the Himalayas, protected from most of the monsoon rains.
The most popular monsoon trekking in Nepal is Upper Mustang, Lower Mustang (called Jomsom Muktinath Trekking), Upper Dolpa, and Lower Dolpa Trekking. Dolpa trekking is best undertaken during the monsoon season, specifically in May, June, and July. Winter is not recommended due to snow at high passes; however, the Mustang trek up to Lo-Manthang is possible the whole year round but is best for the NepalMonsoon Trek. Likewise, Tibet’s high, arid plateaus are ideal for monsoon trekking in Nepal. The Annapurna region in north-central Nepal also receives significantly less rain than other parts of the country during the monsoon months, and low-altitude, short treks are recommended for a Nepal monsoon vacation. Dhampus Sarangkot, Ghorepani Poon Hill Short Loop Trek, Kathmandu Rim Valley Trekking, Chisopani Nagarkot Trekking, etc., are workable even in the monsoon. We suggest you bring insect repellents, which are strictly necessary for this period.
