Good to Know
Best Time to Trek
The best time to trek the Chisapani Nagarkot Trek is during the autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) seasons.
- Autumn sees dry weather with crystal clear skies, which ultimately allows views of the Himalayas such as Everest, Langtang, and Manaslu. Moderate temperatures are found during the daytime while cooler nights make trekking favorable. The trails will be quite dry, with the landscapes lush and green; therefore, it is good for both walking and photography.
- During the spring, the forests along the trekways are alive with brilliant rhododendron flowers, adding color to an already beautiful landscape. The temperature remains warm during the daytime and cooler during nights but not freezing, hence ideal for trekking. The weather might be a bit warmer than during autumn, but the skies are mostly still clear, affording great visibility of the surrounding peaks.
