B. Grishma Ritu (Summer Season): This the hottest season so, it’s not mostly preferred to a long-distance motorbike in the low land region of Nepal. Motorbiking to the mountain area is still a good season in these months. During this season the flower falls and fruit grows in trees. The summer season is the best season for farmers to grow crops. This lies between mid-May to mid-July or in Jestha and Aashad according to the Nepali calendar. This is also known as the Pre-Monsoon season.
