Best season for Mardi Himal Hike
Mardi Himal hike is done throughout the year but autumn (March – May) and spring season (August – October) are highly recommended to hike Mardi Himal rather than winter (November – February) and monsoon season (June – July).
Autumn and spring are highly recommended because the trekkers can find the best view of the surrounding and trail easily during these seasons. In these seasons, the weather is also not so cold where the hikers can easily adjust their body temperature according to the surrounding temperature. The trekkers can get the best view of the snow – capped mountains.
In comparison to autumn and spring, winter and monsoon are less recommended because the hikers may find the weather not so good and trail difficult.
