Best Time to Trek in the Ganesh Himal Region
The best trekking seasons for the Ganesh Himal region are:
Spring (March to May): You will find rhododendrons in full bloom, clear skies, and mild temperatures. It is an ideal season for trekking.
Monsoon/Summer (June to August): The Summer season coincides with the monsoon bringing in heavy rainfall. It also makes trails wet and slippery. However, if you love rain, you can trek during monsoon.
