Last Updated on March 20, 2022 by Alpha Adventure Treks

In general, the lovely landlocked country has four seasons: spring (March-May), summer (June-August), autumn (September-November), and winter (December-February). Summer days in the county are hot and dry, but once monsoon arrives, the temperature becomes humid and hot due to persistent rainfall. So, if you’re planning a summer trip to explore the country, make sure it doesn’t coincide with the monsoon season’s peak. Aside from that, the bright and sunny days of summer provide opportunity for a variety of pleasant activities in the countryside. If you’re wondering what you can do to keep yourself entertained and amused during your stay, here’s a list of activities that will make your days enjoyable and refreshing.

Set off on a jungle adventure:

On a hot sunny day, what could be better than going out on an exploration of cool breezy subtropical regions? Ten National Parks, three Wildlife Reserves, six Conservation Areas, one Hunting Reserve, and eleven Buffer Zones make up roughly 23.23 percent of the total land area of this lovely landlocked country. The rainforest safari in this lovely location, dubbed the Amazon of Asia, will inspire you with excitement and wonder. National parks such as Shivapuri National Park, Bardiya National Park, Banke National Park, Chitwan National Park, Khaptad National Park, Langtang National Park, and others, including the country’s largest and only trans-Himalayan national park, Sheyphuksundo National Park, are the main draw for outdoor adventurers.

The Chitwan National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can experience heaven. The national park is a stunning wildlife paradise with rivers and jungles to captivate your senses. It was previously a hunting place for the upper crust, and it now serves as a wildlife refuge. The Bengal Tiger is the king of the forest at Chitwan National Park, and leopards can also be seen here. This is also a birdwatcher’s delight.

Trekking on a long route:

Trekking is possible throughout the year in this mountainous nation, but each season has its own characteristics that you can experience during your journey. As a result, the hot and dry roads of the summer season are preferable to the wet and damp roads of the monsoon season for long walk hiking. Everest base camp trek, Annapurna base camp trek, Langtang valley walk, Manaslu circuit trek, Upper mustang trek, and others are among the top trekking routes in the country. So, if you want to take your outdoor trip to the next level, embark on a rejuvenating tour of difficult terrain while admiring the Himalayan regions’ majestic and hypnotizing beauty. Furthermore, the opportunity to learn about the region’s culture, traditions, and magnificent religion will undoubtedly be a memorable experience.
