The best time to visit Nepal depends on the type of experience you're seeking, but generally, autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May) are considered the ideal times. Here's a breakdown:
1.
- Weather: Clear skies, pleasant temperatures, and minimal rain make this the most popular season.
- Highlights: Ideal for trekking in the Himalayas, such as the Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Circuit. This is also festival season, with major celebrations like Dashain and Tihar.
- Views: The air is fresh after the monsoon, offering spectacular views of the mountains.
2.
- Weather: Warm and clear, with blooming rhododendrons and other wildflowers in the hills.
- Highlights: Another excellent trekking season. It's also a great time for wildlife viewing in places like Chitwan National Park.
- Festivals: Celebrations like Holi and Bisket Jatra add cultural vibrancy to this season.
3.
- Winter (December to February): Colder, especially in the mountains, but it's a good time to visit lower altitudes and enjoy less crowded areas. Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan are pleasant during this time.
- Monsoon (June to August): Rainy, humid, and muddy, but ideal for visiting the lush Terai region or for cultural experiences. This is also a good time for photography, with the green landscapes and fewer tourists.
