Additionally, the crystal-clear blue skies provide a 360-degree panorama of mountain ranges. You won't soon forget such vistas because they represent a few great moments. Because of the sunny days, it can get a little warm to stroll. Even so, the temperature at night is typical.
Monsoon season (June- August)
June, July, and August are the months that experience monsoons. Botanists and researchers visit the route during these months. This is the time of year when it rains a lot. It may rain nonstop for days, increasing the likelihood that your Tamang Heritage trip will be delayed by flooding and landslides.
