March, April, and May are some of the busier months and for good reason. The days are getting warmer, the weather is mostly stable and the climbing season is in full swing. It really is an amazing sight from Sikles. The flowers are blooming on the Rhododendrons and the terraced fields turn green with new shoots of vegetables.
