Seasonal Considerations
Peak Season (October-November, March-April): Clear mountain views, stable weather conditions, and excellent visibility for sunrise viewing at Sarangkot. Higher tourist volumes and advance booking required. Ideal conditions for wildlife spotting in Chitwan, cultural sightseeing, and all adventure activities including the included rafting, paragliding, and bungee jumping experiences.
Shoulder Season (December-February, May): Cooler temperatures with occasional clouds, fewer crowds, and better photography opportunities. December-February can be quite cold in the mornings at Sarangkot for sunrise viewing. May temperatures are warmer but still comfortable for all adventure activities and wildlife experiences.
Monsoon Season (June-September): Heavy rainfall with limited mountain visibility but lush landscapes and vibrant cultural festivals. Some outdoor activities in Chitwan may be modified, sunrise viewing at Sarangkot may be affected by clouds, and certain adventure activities may be weather-dependent. Cultural sites remain accessible with indoor alternatives available.

As one of the core guiding principles for Mountain Kick, we always give back to the mountain community in any way we can as a means of gratitude. The people who live in the Himalayas and share their homes with us deserve to have all their little problems fixed which seem very basic for outsiders but are commonplace in rural Nepal. The people lack proper access to healthcare, sanitation and education but a little effort from travellers goes on a long way to solve these issues. Mountain Kick has made it its corporate social responsibility to help improve the living standards of the local community. We make donations to their cause, organize social campaigns and programs and also have a few trips designed to mix a little volunteer work in your holiday.
