Notes
Mardi Himal isn’t in the rain shadow, so expect occasional rainfall. However, if you’re fortunate with the weather, the forests become incredibly lush, wildflowers bloom, and the mountain views of Machhapuchhre (Fishtail), Annapurna South, and Hiunchuli are breathtaking. The trails are also much quieter than during the peak trekking seasons.
August is the peak monsoon season in Nepal, but that doesn’t mean trekking is off the table. While many popular trails receive frequent rain, several destinations either lie in the Himalayan rain shadow or still offer rewarding experiences despite the monsoon.
