First, we have to know that Nepal has more trekking trails, places to visit than Mt. Everest Base Camp, Langtang, Annapurna, and Manaslu. Besides of Mountains, landscape Nepal is rich in its own cultures, festivals, and different kinds of events which are only celebrated in special months.
Spring is obviously one of the best times to visit in Nepal for trekking, hiking, and climbing in the white snow-capped mountains. Mostly Annapurna Ghorepani trek trail will be covered by Rhododendron flowers and also in other regions. Around Kathmandu Valley, Kalinchowk, Helambu and the western part of Nepal is quite famous places to hike for the Rhododendron forest.
Summer and Rainy (mid-May to September)
Summer is generally maximum hot in the Terai region but humid in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and mid hilly parts of Nepal. Due to the bad weather, it seems not easy to fly to Jomsom for Upper Mustang trek and Lukla for Everest trekking. Upper Mustang is a complete desert valley and known as the little Tibet of Nepal. Nar Phu valley trekking, Dolpo, and Mustang are the best places to visit during this time. Less rain or we will not find rain and also nontouristic places to trek. The rainy season is Nepal is one the best time to travel because we can see wildflowers blooming, greenery hill/mountains, rice farming, waterfall and more. If you love photography then this could be the best time to capture amazing shots. Imagine the view right after the rain, it's just wow!!
