Langtang & Manaslu in March
Spring trekking begins. Rhododendrons start to bloom in the forests of Langtang and Helambu, and lodges reopen. Mornings are clear, with haze building by afternoon. The Manaslu Circuit opens up, though Larkya La can still carry snow. A strong month for Langtang Valley, Helambu and the Tamang Heritage Trail, access permitting.
