This Charming Village That Attracts Tourists That is the sunny autumn. The celebration of the festival. The big festivals like Dashain, Tihar, and Chhath have made the villages and towns lively. Celebrating the festival in family gatherings is going on; people are also making travel plans because of the long vacations at this time.
October to November is considered to be the best time for trekking. Tourist destinations such as Annapurna and Manaslu.
Nepali people especially go out for padayatra right after celebrating Dashain. Some enjoy walking with family and some with friends. Trekking tourism in Nepal, which was introduced by foreign tourists in the past, has recently become equally popular among domestic tourists as well.
Tourists go on a walk to enjoy the natural beauty, unique geography, climate, biological diversity, mountain life, civilization, and culture. Walking is also considered suitable for physical and mental health and fitness.
