Trekking in Monsoon: The Best Monsoon Trekking Routes in Nepal

Nepal is a well-known country for exploring the Himalayas and its natural beauty. There are four seasons in Nepal: spring, autumn, summer, and winter. We all know spring and autumn are the best seasons to visit Nepal for trekking experiences and other activities.

However, you can also go on a trek during the monsoon season. In this blog, we learn about Nepal's best monsoon trekking routes. June to August is the monsoon season in Nepal. As we all know, Nepal is one of the most popular destinations for adventure travel.

Typically, most tourists come in the dry season because it is right after the monsoon season. The countryside is green and lush, the air is sparkling clean, and the Himalayas are perfect to see. Fewer people visit the country during monsoon time. Monsoons mean rain daily, making walking hard, and there are no good views because of the hazy and cloudy weather.

Although there are many reasons why people don’t want to travel during monsoon season. We are focusing on some of the adventures in Nepal, which can be more beautiful during the monsoon season only. Nepal has a vast diversity in geography.

We have some routes for adventure trekking in the monsoons, such as the Dolpo and Mustang regions. These areas are perfect to visit during the monsoon season because we get very little rain. Also, rafting is more adventurous in the monsoon season than in the dry season. The rapids in a river are very high, and it is more adventurous and risky, too. 

In the Dolpo Region, there are two main routes for trekking, i.e., Upper Dolpo Trekking and Lower Dolpo Trekking. This unbeaten and unspoiled trek offers a spectacular view of the Himalayas, high-altitude settlements, and incredible landscapes.

In the Mustang Region, Upper Mustang Trekking offers the spectacular Kali Gandaki village, centuries-old monasteries, the royal palace at Lo-Manthang, unspoiled villages, and a culture similar to Tibet's landscape. 

Nepal Gateway Trekking offers various tours and high-adventure trekking in the Nepal Himalayas, including a flower research program during the monsoon season.
