If anyone has been to Nepal I would like to know the best time of year to go when you can see the plants in the wild etc....? May? June. I don't want to go later as it may be rainy there.

no need for guides, except you plan an expedition, this shoulb be arranged from home.
There are many trek to go, i.e. langtang, yomsom (stop at tatopani and have some great charras and a bath in the hot spring).
You will find a wide variety of plants,
cultivated and wild. In oct.- nov. you'll likely fall over fresh charras, in jan, the best will be gone as it's sold completely in oct. There is no reason to keep some srash for torists who are late.
In april it's still nice and it's not as cloudy as after the mosoon.
But let me tell you it's still hard to find best quality.
If you're after the ultimate smoke, better go to kosala or the area around parvati, and try to score some melana crema.
You can go on really nice hikes and treks there too.
If it's for culture and nature, and you wan't to get to know the religion, go to nepal and stay at a tibetan camp. Many tibetans do commerce and you'll come across those treks frequently on every trek.
I did it in nepal on my own to score 5 kg of charras in tatopani. I resold it on my way to and in sri lanka. what I don't recommend to do nowadays.
So enjoy your trip ( my hint: go there in october, and then move for some relaxation to goa or kerala- you can score some shit there too, so no need to take the risk of getting caught on a check point. )
cheers and take it easy :-)

no doubt, as I said/ment, to get real good hash you'd better go to kosala or parvati....you won't find top class hash in nepal.

As i can't edit I have to post new.
I don't want to offend nepal hash lovers :-)
I stayed long in Nepal and tested from low to high quality. But melana cream was the best, asides from the kerala ganjy which was ev.en stronger than anything I had and have tasted until today. And that was long ago.
But I' planning a motorcycle trip to himchal right now in september :-) :-) :-)
