Because this hike takes place in a lush forest, there might be some leeches if it rains the previous night. So, besides the regular items mentioned below, casual cotton wears, sunglasses, a sun hat/cap, an umbrella, or a raincoat are some essentials for the summer. We do not suggest you hike while raining but apart that that, Summer Hiking in Phulchowki is ideal too. The temperature of Kathmandu ranges from 18-20 ☌ in the morning, 28-32☌ at noon, and 16-18☌ at night. But we have a summer monsoon that occurs from Mid-June to Mid-September. Summer/Monsoon: June, July, August, and September are summer months in Nepal. Since the weather is pleasant during spring, apart from the basic essentials mentioned below, all you need is some casual shirts, shorts or trousers, a couple of long sleeves, sports shoes/hiking boots, a water bottle, sunscreen, sun hat/cap, sunglasses, and an overall/light jacket because it might get a bit chilly at the top. The temperature in these months during the morning ranges from 10-12☌, 22-24☌ at noon, and 14-16☌ at night. Spring: March to May are spring in Nepal. Carrying a water bottle, sunglasses, sunscreen, and hiking poles would be ideal. Similarly, we suggest wearing beanies/hats, gloves, trousers, sports shoes/hiking hoots, and thermals if you prefer an extra layer of warmth. So if you are planning to hike here any time after Christmas to the end of February then we suggest you wear long-sleeved t-shirts, hoodies or sweater/fleece, windproof and preferably waterproof jackets because Phulchowki has temporary snowfall during winter. The temperature is usually 0-4☌ in the morning, 10-12☌ at noon, and -1 to 0☌ at night. It starts getting cooler after Christmas. Winter: Winter in Nepal falls in January and February. To help you pack efficiently, we have prepared a gear list for Phulchowki Hike based on seasons. Phulchowki is the highest hill surrounding Kathmandu Valley located at an altitude of 2750 meters above sea level. So it is of no surprise that Kathmandu is really popular for day hikes. Kathmandu Valley is surrounded by beautiful hill stations around its perimeter.
