How about a trip to The Himalayas
A Brief Summary
While April and May are usually the favoured months for treks throughout the Himalayas, a potentially better time of year to go would be in November. The weather may be a little cooler, but there will also be far fewer people around, so guesthouses and other accomodations will be more readily available and likely far cheaper too. What won’t change will be the views of the highest peaks on Earth alongside the worlds deepest valleys, combined with hospitable locals and a large number of temples and shrines to visit on your journey. November weather is warm averaging 20°C during the day at 2,000m. This will cool rapidly the higher you ascend though and nights are chilly, but skies usually clear most days with rain / snow rare.

About the Weather
Warm days and cool (sometimes cold) nights are seen during the dry and very sunny winter months, from Oct – Apr. The period May – Sep is much wetter, with high humidity and much more overcast skies, but with temperatures approaching 30°c by day and low 20°c’s at night. Temperatures reduce by approximately 1°c for every 1,000ft (300m) you ascend in elevation, so the higher mountain passes will be considerably cooler than the temperatures shown here for Kathmandu
