TREK GRADING & CLIMATE INFORMATION Easy: Generally easy going with only short periods of trekking on good paths and at low altitudes. Moderate: Suitable for hill hikers with relatively short days on good to uneven paths. You do, however, need to be in reasonably good physical shape to negotiate the ascents and descents of any given path. Strenuous: Not suitable for everyone. Physically very challenging and suited for those who have plenty of experience in trekking and hiking, for long stretches of time. One would need to be concerned about steep ascents and descents, which is especially demanding on knees and back. When To Go Nepal's diverse landscape makes it possible to go trekking and touring almost anytime of the year. The humid, tropical Terai (lower Nepal) receives the highest temperatures (up to 40c/103f in May) and the most amount of rainfall. The lower hills, including Kathmandu Valley (900-2700 meters), are subtropical with hot summers and moderate winters, and only occasional frost.
