Spring and Autumn seasons are considered to be the best time for Langtang Gosainkunda Trek as the weather and temperature are calm and consistent in these seasons. The months of the spring offer the bloom of rhododendrons and many seasonal flowers. Autumn is also one of the best times to explore and you get to enjoy different Nepali festivals such as Dashain and Tihar. Winter and Summer are taken as less appropriate seasons as compared to spring and autumn. In winter, the temperature level drops below freezing point making it less comfortable to trek to the higher regions. Days are chilly followed by episodes of snowfalls and blizzards.
