Monsoon in Nepal

The wet month July is on the floor in Nepal causing rainfall. During the monsoon months June, July and August to mid of the September, Nepal receives rainfall and everywhere there is greenery as this is the time for rice cultivation throughout the nation.

During July, Nepali farmers are busy on their fields cultivating paddy seedlings all over the nation. Monsoon season is not considered as good for trekking in Nepal. During this time, the roads are obstructed due to landslides, floods and there will be risk of leeches on the trekking route to Himalayas. So, the number of tourist goes down during this season.

If you are planning for holidays, Nepal always welcomes you. Visiting in Nepal is favorable all the time in a year. During monsoon season, you can trek to Upper Mustang, Upper Dolpo, Nar Phu valley. These trekking destinations lies in rain-shadow areas and receive less rainfall as compared to other region.
