But, it would be perfect to travel the destinations on this package during the spring and autumn seasons. 

Spring (Late March-May) and autumn (Late September-November) in Nepal and Tibet have drier and clearer days, making them excellent for people who want to visit for the spectacular high-altitude treks.
