4Nepal, South Asia
If you’re going to Nepal, it is best to go in May. The weather in Nepal in May is great for both sightseeing and hiking. In May you get here before the summer tourists, and the June rains up in the popular Himalayan Mountains and the sky is a pretty shade of blue.
Mind you, other adventurers may have the same idea so plan your trip well in advance to reserve your hiking tours and your lodgings. You have several different choices when it comes to hikes in Nepal. The hike to the Mount Everest base camp, which includes seeing some of the Buddhist monasteries and Sherpa villages, is the most popular. Another popular trek is the Annapurna Circuit hike, which will provide you with striking views of the area and the chance to check out some of the country’s diverse culture along the way.
