It is one of the best seasons for trekking so the moutainious region is full of tourists during this season. For the Dharma Hill Trek, Autumn is one of the best because it also has high altitude.

Summer Season

This season is also called the monsoon season. This season mainly occurs in the Jun, July and August months. This season is not preferred for the Dharma Hill Trek because of steady rainfall, natural disasters such as landslides and floods on the different parts of the route. There is a high chance of rainfall in the Terai region such as Chitwan, Birgunj and the weather becomes very hot. In this season, fewer tourists are coming to visit Nepal. Due to the unpredictable weather, we are not suggesting a trek in this season except Lower Dolpo, Tiri La pass, Upper Mustang and Tsum Valley.

Spring Season

Spring Season occurs from Mid-March to Mid-May and is the best season for the tourist destination and Dharma Hill Trek also. If rare rain falls there is a high chance of the snowfall so we can see the panoramic view of the mountain from Here. We can also enjoy the high ice-covered peaks and play with our teams. This season has warm weather (not hot or cold) and mostly so many thousands of tourists are attracted yearly In Nepal and makes it comfortable for motorbike rides also . It is between Chaitra and Baisakh month. So,Spring season can be considered as one of the best seasons for the tours. This season is the best time for motorbiking tours also due to the stable and favorable weather. In this season, due to its low range of rainfall, roads are more clear with dry and smooth locations. I would recommend this tour to any of you, if they want to enjoy riding with good adventures in Nepal safely.

Winter Season

Winter season occurs from late November to February and is typically rain-free and clear. High altitude areas above 3,000 meters will be snowy and very cold indeed with night time temperatures of -10°C not uncommon. This is one of the coldest seasons of Nepal. Winters are miserably cold in the higher altitude and there are chances of snowfall in these areas.The Winter season offers a clear sky, bright sunny days and cool weather so short and easy treks to the Hills are highly recommended in this season. This season is suitable to trek the Dharma Hill Trek. if you want to see and enjoy the snow but it becomes more risky also. Are you searching for a winter vacation destination ?
