Best Season for Chisapani Nagarkot Trekking:

Nearly all months of the year except the monsoon wet and rainy times from mid- June to early September, including middle December to February months of winter season.

The very best time for this marvelous adventure in spring season from March to May, when days are clear most of the month’s chances of light rain and snow sometimes in the late afternoon. Cold in the morning and night time, but very scenic with wild-flowers in seasonal bloom especially tall trees to bush rhododendron, magnolia, and other bright flowers.

Day is clear for grand views of snow peaks and with much longer sunlight hours during the spring season, next best season is autumn/fall to pre-winter from the middle month of September to early December.

Although much colder morning and evening time, with short sunlight hours due to autumn and near winter, but most days are bright and clear for mountain views and walks with the bright starry night sky. Chances of snow on higher areas sometimes.
