There are normally two very popular seasons for trekking in Nepal the magnificent views around the trail and the high Himalayas below the blue sky. They are before Pre-Monsoon and after Post-Monsoon.

Trekking to Muktinath is best before pre-monsoon and after the monsoon, normally in Nepal monsoon is at its full pace during the month of June and June and sometimes it can last with less rainfall till mid-August as well.

And pre-monsoon is generally the month of May, so now coming to the point trekking to Muktinath is better during the month of January, February, March, April and September, October, November, and December because during the month of winter which normally is November, December and January snowing in Muktinath do happen but not throughout the trail.

As the snow is less as compared to other high altitudes, trekkers heading towards Muktinath trek can enjoy their hike to its fullest.

Best place to assist trek

I have completed 14 14-day Annapurna trek with Discover Altitude.
I was born and raised up in a metropolitan. The materialist surroundings are around me from the day I opened my eyes. But, something was always lacking inside. Every single day, I wanted to go away from all this. Later on I explored that my inner being resided in nature i.e. mountains, Himalayan, forest, etc. Then I searched to go for a mountain expedition.

In a random search, I contacted Discover Altitude and booked the earlier mentioned trek.
Throughout the trek, the people from Discover Altitude were very cosy and friendly. Especially, Kumar sir and Basu swami were compassionate more than a human can be expected for. They behaved me not as client but as a friend whom they had known for a long. All the arrangements and the food they provided were very hygienic and according to my preference.
Thanks to the whole team of Discover Altitude.

Amazing Everest Heli tour and Chitwan Safari with Discover Altitude Treks ..

I am thrilled to share my incredible experience with Discover Altitude Trek's Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari. Both adventures were beyond my expectations and left me with memories that will last a lifetime.
Embarking on the Everest Base Camp Helicopter tour and Chitwan Safari with them was a privilege beyond words.

The Chitwan Safari, a mesmerizing jungle encounter, offered close wildlife encounters and seamless accommodations. Santosh's exceptional leadership and meticulous attention to detail ensured a flawless experience. Discover Altitude Trek's unwavering commitment to excellence and the team's passionate dedication made these journeys truly extraordinary.

2 day private tour Kathmandu

To see and experience Kathmandu in just 2 days including a sunrise in the Himalayas and a slaughter ritual is a challenge. But with Kumar, it works in a relaxed atmosphere. He feels good where your interests lie. This makes the experience even more intense in a relaxed way.
I can recommend him.

Attractions in Kathmandu

Although my helicopter tour to the Everest base camp fell through due to unforeseen weather conditions, both Santosh and Kumar were very helpful. They not only ensured my refund for the cancellation but Santosh went the extra mile, helped us get around Kathmandu, and recommended places for us. They both possess immense knowledge not just about Nepal, but also about Bhutan and Tibet. They offer unique experiences and are passionate about what they do. I highly recommend them, whether you are looking for tips on getting by Kathmandu or planning your trek to the Everest base camp. These guys are your go-to!
