We highly recommend you not to trek during the month of winter and the monsoon season due to challenging weather conditions. Passing the mountain pass Thorong La Pass (5416 m)  and Khangla Pass (5320 m) becomes highly difficult if the weather is not suitable. 

Trekking in Nar Phu Valley can be very tough during the freezing cold winter  and heavy rain of the monsoon season. It’s best to choose the right time to trek for a safer and more enjoyable experience.
