When is the ideal time to climb in the Himalayas?

Spring (March to May): The most popular season for major expeditions, with relatively stable weather and fewer storms. Ideal for Everest, Lhotse, and Makalu.

Autumn (September to November): The post-monsoon season offers clear skies and excellent visibility, making it perfect for Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Manaslu.

Avoid summer and winter due to heavy monsoons and extreme cold.
