Visiting Nepal in November - February
From November to February, Nepal offers cool, dry weather perfect for adventure and sightseeing. Trekking in the northern Himalayas is ideal during this season, with clear skies, pleasant daytime temperatures, and minimal rainfall. Meanwhile, Chitwan National Park in the southern plains comes alive—wild animals roam freely, migratory birds are abundant, and by late January, trimmed elephant grass makes wildlife spotting even easier. Nights can be chilly, especially in mountainous regions, but the combination of crisp air, stunning landscapes, and vibrant wildlife makes this one of the most rewarding times for any Nepal tour.
Visiting Nepal in March - May
March gives the signal of coming of spring, when temperatures rise rapidly. The months of March and April in Chitwan usually remain dry which is still good time for wildlife exploring, but the rainfall will come in May. When days are getting longer and longer from March to May, it marks a perfect time for trekking in the north mountain area of Nepal. During this period rhododendrons bloom that makes your trekking more beautiful. It is a popular time to travel, so plan well in advance.
Events & Festivals
- Holi festival is getting more and more famous all round the world, it is also celebrated in Nepal rather than just in India. You will meet the celebration if you travel to Nepal in March.
- Spring (March – May) is the Rhododendron season. During this period, the colors of the mountain constantly change from reds to pinks and whites due to rhododendron species glow at different elevations.
Visiting Nepal in June - August
The summer months in Nepal are dominated by the annual monsoon. Temperature climbs to 86°F and it is wet with high humidity. The peak of monsoon always occurs in July with generally around 14 inches of rain. Throughout these months landslides are common around the country. This is certainly not a perfect time to trek in Nepal, but city sightseeing is still possible and quieter than peak seasons.
Visiting Nepal in September - October
As the worst of the rainfall comes to and end by September, rain is still very common in the first half of the month, but later, Nepal will welcome beautiful, fresh air and awesome views. October is one of the best months to trek due to the dry days bring good visibility. The verdant landscapes after the rain are ideal for photographers.
