Seasons for Lower Dolpo Trekking:

Lower Dolpo Trekking, the best time is spring from March to May and autumn season from September to November. Spring-time much warmer with longer sun-light hours, sub-tropical climate at the beginning of treks. Once over the hills cooler temperatures and then to freezing arctic cold. Where days are fine with sunshine but cold morning and night time, chances of snow-fall sometimes around higher altitude.

Autumn another best season, where days are crystal clear for views and pleasant walks but much colder morning and late afternoon till night time, with chances of snow-fall around high areas. 

Lower Dolpo, can be visited during summer around monsoon time also. As the region falls within rain shadow, gets less rain and moisture than other southern areas of Himalaya that is why the country is dry with barren arid landscapes.
