Langtang & Manaslu in February
Still cold up high, but days lengthen and snow begins to settle. Sonam Lhosar often falls in February, a good time for a homestay in Gatlang or Briddim if road access allows. Helambu and Chisapani give clear views with few trekkers. Gosaikunda and Larkya La remain risky with snow. Nuwakot is pleasant for history and ridge walks.
