Episode 12: The Seasons: When to Trek Nepal

On Day 9 of their trek, Jason and Anne Dorthe discuss the trekking seasons with Samir. At day’s end, Samir and some villagers sing and play music on native instruments.    What is each season like? What is the most popular month for trekking? Which month is the greenest? The warmest? The quietest? When will you see the most flowers? When is your best chance of making it over the high passes? Which season is driest, and which is rainiest?    Learn all about trekking in different months of the year, about camping along the trail versus staying in the tea houses (as Jason and Anne Dorthe did), how much cash you should carry with you, how meals are handled, and what to do about drinking water.  Have you decided which season you’d like to trek in Nepal? To access the ultimate resource for hiking adventures around the world and get our FREE gear guide, check out zerototravel.com/trekking.

Along the way, you’ll discover Nepalese Culture, learn about her history, and meet her famous friendly people. Together we’ll step into the world’s tallest mountain range, sharing the flood of adrenaline and emotions from hiking along steep ledges and across Indiana Jones-like suspension bridges, through Tibetan Buddhist villages, and into warm, colorful monasteries where we’ll share energizing cups of warm Tibetan tea with the locals. Enjoy the sounds of the villages, the music, the spinning prayer wheels, and the gentle wisdom of our Nepalese guide, Samir, as he shares insightful and practical information for trekking in the Himalayan Mountains.
