Re: what, no clouds

We had almost unreal conditions. In 20 days 19 days with clear blue skies and only one cloudy day with some rain on the way out of the valley (last day) on the Annapurna circuit.

Re: what, no clouds

September/Oktober and March are the best periods you can visit this area. Almost dry with good views.
I was in Nepal in 03/2001 and had 20/21 days best weather. These are the typical months to visit the southern part of the Himalaya.

In the end of May starts the Monsun, not the best time. Many clouds and snowfall.

Re: 2009

Good idea, it's worth doing the Manaslu circuit.
