Summer Trips Trips

The summer season, from June to August, is the monsoon season in Nepal. This crucial natural phenomenon replenishes the mountains, hills, and terrains with a tremendous amount of snow and rainwater. The primary rainy months are July and August, during which you can expect daily rains after late afternoon, accompanied by heavy rains at night. In this season of the year, the forest turns lush; rivers swell to their full destructive strength. The southern lowlands of the country, known as the Terai, may be prone to flooding. Lowland to hill terraces get attractive with full of crops, and the highland valley gets carpeted with colourful flowers and beautiful streams. During these months, from May onwards, people travelling to Tibet, including Mount Kailash from Nepal, flock to its capital, Kathmandu. Indian tourists and others living in the hot, low-lying areas enjoy travelling to Nepal to escape the heat in their parts. Japanese and many other tourists arrive in these months to see the rare flowers and butterflies of the Himalayas. Summertime is also the best time to trek in the areas of Mugu, Upper Dolpo, Lower Dolpo, Manaslu, Tsum Valley, Nar Phu, and Upper Mustang regions. At this time of the year, several important festivals occur, including Janai Purnima, Gaijatra, Gaura Parba, Shree Krishna Janmasthami, Teej, Rishi Panchami, Dumjee, Indra Jatra, Sakadawa, and Tiji, among others. The temperature ranges from 17 to 35 degrees, with an average of 22 degrees.
