The trekking in Nepal is possible in every season, despite considered off-season for trekking in Nepal, the Summer or monsoon season can still offer you some trekking from short trek to long and adventure trek as well.

The Monson or the summer spans from the end of may to the end of August in Nepal and heavy rainfall in most of parts of Nepal and the roads and trekking paths become wet and muddy and the weather is the most important factor for the trekking so, there obvious risk of land slide, flood and avalanches on our trek so, we have selected only few treks for the season where there is less risk of these factors.

Sightseeing tours such as Kathmandu tour, Pokhara tour, Lumbini tour and Safari in Chitwan National park have no problem and they are accessible and doable all around the year and some small treks such as the Chisapani Trek, Nagarkot Trek, Saranngkot Hike, Ghandruk Trek, Ghorepani Trek are possible on monsoon in Nepal and trekking to some of the rain shadow areas like Mustang, Kaligandaki Valley or Dolpo the most popular trekking for the monsoon in Nepal.
