Best Time to Visit Nepal

Nepal welcomes visitors year-round, but certain seasons offer distinct advantages:

October to December (Autumn): The post-monsoon period brings clear skies, moderate temperatures, and exceptional mountain views, making it ideal for photography and trekking. Major festivals like Dashain and Tihar (Diwali) occur during this season, adding cultural richness to your journey.

March to May (Spring): As winter recedes, spring brings blooming rhododendron forests and pleasant temperatures. This is the second-best season for clear mountain views and outdoor activities, with fewer tourists than the autumn peak season.

June to September (Monsoon): While rain is frequent, this season offers lush green landscapes, fewer tourists, and reduced prices. This is also an excellent time for plant enthusiasts and those interested in ayurvedic treatments.

December to February (Winter): The mountains are at their clearest though temperatures drop significantly at higher elevations. Lower regions like Chitwan remain pleasant, making this an excellent time for wildlife viewing as animals come out to sun themselves.
