Ask any visitor "What is Nepal's biggest attraction?". The answer invariably will be the Himalaya. Many come to simply look and be over whelmed while many others come to conquer.

There are four seasons for Mountaineering in Nepal :

Spring (March-May), summer (June – August), autumn (September-November) and winter (December-February). While weather conditions during spring and autumn are fairly favorable, they can turn quite unpredictable in summer and winter. No wonder most of the mountaineering expeditions try to take their shots at the peaks of their choice during spring and autumn. This does not, however, stop the more hardy souls to run the gauntlet during the other seasons, and many have done so successfully.
