Summer:
From June to August, temperatures above 4500m altitude minimum 5 ° C to 23 ° C maximum and minimum 13 ° C to 31 ° C below 1500M altitude in Nepal. the moist air masses of the Bay of Bengal collide with the Himalayan range. As they rise, they cool and condense to fall back in the form of rain: it’s the monsoon. Its effects are very uneven across the country. It gradually loses its intensity as it moves from the southeast to the northwest. Some regions are therefore less affected by the monsoon: the north of the Annapurna area (Manang, Naar, Phu), Haut-Dolpo and Mustang. Elsewhere, roads are sometimes slippery and often infested with leeches.
