Which peak climbing is best in autumn season 2025?

Autumn in Nepal begins in mid-September and ends in November. It is considered the best season for trekking and peak climbing. There are many reasons why travelers choose autumn. About 80 percent of Nepal’s population is Hindu, and the biggest Hindu festivals—Dashain and Deepawali (Tihar)—fall during this time. Various flowers are in bloom, and the scenery is exceptionally beautiful.

Nepal is renowned among adventure travelers. Peak climbing and expeditions are among the country’s major outdoor activities. We categorize peaks into four groups based on height. Peaks below 6000 meters are free to climb. There are 27 peaks between 6000 and 6500 meters that are managed by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (a non-profit alpine club). Nepal also has eight peaks over 8000 meters. Other peaks ranging from 6000 to below 8000 meters are regulated by the Government of Nepal.

Some peaks are best climbed only in autumn, while others are more difficult to summit during this time. Although many climbers consider spring the ideal time to climb, autumn is also one of the best seasons for mountaineering.

Above 8000m mountain, Mt. Manaslu 8163m is the best option to climb. Manaslu is one of the most famous expeditions nowadays. Manalsu peak climbing is starting early in September. Many climbers are planning to climb Manaslu because of the success rate is 98%. Manaslu expeditions have four camps. The duration of the expedition takes 25–35 days.
