Both seasons are more favorable and the best time to spend the beautiful time around the high mountains and Himalayas. March to May would be a warmer climate to climb legendary peaks such as Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Manaslu, Kanchenjunga, and other expeditions too.

The best is from March to May and mid-September to December months during spring, autumn, and pre-winter seasons. Where temperatures will be pleasant during the daytime at spring times with much longer daylight hours, an enjoyable trek with wildflowers especially the rhododendron, and magnolia in the blooming season.

However, the morning and night time will be cold with chances of snow and cloudy afternoon sometimes.
