Best Season for Tsum Valley Trek

The best seasons for the Tsum Valley Trek in Nepal are the pre-monsoon (spring) and post-monsoon (autumn) periods:

  • Spring (March to May): Pleasant weather, blooming flowers, and clear skies.
  • Autumn (September to November): Stable weather, comfortable temperatures, and excellent mountain views.

These seasons provide the most favorable conditions for trekking in the Tsum Valley, offering a memorable and enjoyable experience.
