In the Himalayan country of Nepal travelers can experience four seasons, each lasting for approximately 3 months.

Autumn Season: The Manaslu Tibet View Trek during the Autumn season which begins from September and ends in November is considered by many to be the best time to participate due to the beautiful and pristine weather condition due to which the travelers can enjoy the spectacular views of the high Himalayan views.

Spring Season: Spring Season is another perfect season to explore in the Himalayan Region. The trekkers will have a pleasant time if traveling to the Manaslu Region during the Months from March to May. The trekking trail of the lower and mid-lands of the Manaslu region is covered in lush green forest filled with abundant Rhododendron Trees, the National flower which blooms during the Spring season turning the trail into vibrant red colour. The Himalayan views can also be enjoyed by the trekkers for the most part as the skies are pretty clear during the Spring season. The trekking trail can get a little bit crowded but not as much as the winter season, however pre booking of required facilities is better. The trekkers can witness sudden change in the weather condition while trekking as the cool breezes of the Winter season still lingers around the early Spring season and during the month of May the trekkers can expect light rainfall as the end of May marks the beginning of Monsoon season. The trekkers are suggested to pack light for their journey to the Himalayas during the Spring Season.

Average Day Temperature During Spring Season:
1. Lower Region(1000-2500 M): 15 to 20 Degrees Celsius.
2. Mid region(2500-4000 M): 10 to 15 Degrees Celsius
3. Higher Region(4000-5000 M): 5 to 10 Degrees Celsius
4. Region above 5000 M : 0 to 5 Degrees Celsius
Summer/ Monsoon Season: The Summer/ Monsoon Season is arguably the worst time to travel to the Manaslu Region as the weather can be extremely unpredictable with regular fluctuation and constant rain making it quite difficult for the trekkers to navigate through the slippery off-beat trails of the region. The travelers need to have raincoats, Poncho and waterproof gears for their journey as it constantly rains in the lower region and snows in the higher region. The travelers are also requested to carry bug spray for the journey as in the lower region bugs and insects like mosquitoes and leeches can become a huge problem during the Monsoon season. Overall, if planning to trek during the Monsoon season the trekkers are highly suggested to shift their plan during other seasons as they will most likely not enjoy their time in the Himalayas as most probably they won't be able to enjoy the views of the Himalayas. The trekking routes of the Manaslu region are well maintained however, during the Monsoon season the probability of Landslides and Avalanches is much higher due to which the trekkers are suggested to stay in high alert and if planning to trek without guides and porters then the team highly suggests the travelers to get well qualified Guides and porters for their journey as without their assistance the journey can be extremely difficult. On the brighter side trekking during the Monsoon/ Summer season is a much more peaceful experience as there are less to no trekkers even in the popular routes and the amenities price in the Himalayas also can be quite low.

Average Day Temperature During Monsoon/ Spring Season:
1. Lower Region(1000-2500 M): 20 to 30 Degrees Celsius.
2. Mid region(2500-4000 M):15 to 20 Degrees Celsius
3. Higher Region(4000-5000 M): 5 to 10 Degrees Celsius
4. Region above 5000 M : 0 to 5 Degrees Celsius
Additional Trekking Tips
Internet: Tea Houses along the trail of the Manaslu Tibet View Trek have the Internet facility but is quite slow due to the location and to use it the trekkers will need to pay a certain amount directly to the Tea house operators and is not covered by the package. The travelers are suggested to purchase a Nepali sim from either NTC or NCELL and buy a Data Pack which will last them for the entirety of the trek which will be much cheaper and faster in comparison to the Tea House Internet.

Hot Shower:During the Manaslu Tibet View Trek the trekkers will have a handful of chances to take a shower using hot showers as limited tea houses in the Himalayas offer such facilities. The tea house will charge the travelers for the shower which they will directly pay to the tea house operators. The Mountain Ram team suggests the traveler to not take a shower as it can lead to severe health complications. If the travelers don't dry their body properly after taking a shower it can lead to common cold, fever or even pneumonia which can make it difficult for the trekkers journey. The trekkers after reaching the lower region or mid region can take a proper hot shower which will be much more preferable for the trekkers.

Charging: The trekkers will be able to charge their electronic devices in the tea house but will need to pay additional fees per device on hourly basis. The trekkers are recommended to carry a powerbank with them for the trek which will last them for the entirety of the trek. The tea house charges around 2-4 USD on average per device.

Luggage: The trekkers are suggested to pack around 5 KG on their travel bag which they will carry while trekking and in the duffel bag make sure to not put more than 10 KG for the porter to carry. One porter will be assigned for two trekkers 10 KG each (20 KG in total) for the porter to carry. If the trekkers have luggages and extra bags left behind then they can leave their bags in their designated hotel and collect it after returning back to Kathmandu or the travelers can keep their luggages at the Head office of the Mountain Ram Adventures in Z-Street, Thamel.
