During this time people can see lush green Rhododendrons forests that welcome every visitor. Both the spring season, as well as the summer season, has hot weather. People can experience mildly warm temperatures at lower levels.

When you go higher it will be cooler. We can see flowering plants during this time of year. In the winter season from December to February, the skies are clear with little rain. During this time the night skies are beautiful to see. On the higher parts of the trek, the weather is cold which is why proper trekking gear is needed.

Accommodations and Food in Manaslu Area

Many Lodges and tea houses are open in the Manaslu trekking area but still, the place like Chumling and Nile still lacks enough accommodations. Manaslu area still considers a camping trek where many people carry tents and food.

The camping trek is expensive but we can accommodate many people on tented accommodations. In some places, trekkers have to compromise on food quality whereas many travelers enjoy the Nepali dish, Dal Bhat.
