I highly recommend visiting Nepal in April. It’s springtime in the country which makes for beautiful scenery including the famous rhododendron forests that look like they’re straight out of a fairytale. It’s also considered peak season due to optimal trekking conditions. April doesn’t see a lot of rain and it has moderate temperatures. This allows […]
Nepal in May: Weather, Festivals, Trekking & More
May is one of my favorite months to be in Nepal. While monsoon technically starts in June, May can be a little unpredictable when it comes to rain. Most people visit in March or April when trekking conditions are at their peak. Although Nepal in May doesn’t have the best weather, it’s a far cry […]
Nepal in June: Weather, Festivals, Trekking & More
June falls at the beginning of monsoon season in Nepal. While most of the rain hits towards the end of the month, I wouldn’t really recommend people to visit Nepal in June unless it’s the only time of year they can go. With rain comes landslides and mudslides which can delay travel plans and make […]
Nepal in July: Weather, Festivals, Trekking & More
Having spent the entire month of July in Nepal, it wouldn’t be my first choice. July is right in the middle of monsoon season making it rather difficult to enjoy yourself. There are ups and downs to visiting Nepal in July. There are no crowds. Prices are low. Everything is a bright lush green. But, […]
Nepal in August: Weather, Festivals, Trekking & More
Personally, I wouldn’t recommend visiting Nepal in August unless it’s the only time of year you can go. August is challenging in more ways than one.

Nepal in September can be a big mix of ups and downs. September happens to fall between monsoon season and one of the best months of the year to visit the country. Due to climate change, the weather in September has become unpredictable. Some years it could be a rainy mess with limited options for […]
Tsho Rolpa Lake Trek Packing List
The Tsho Rolpa Trek is a little different than the other treks I’ve done in Nepal. The area is highly under-touristed which means that there aren’t a ton of places to buy things along the way. In places like the Everest Region or Annapurna Region, it’s easy to grab whatever you forgot as you go. […]
Nepal in October: Weather, Festivals, Trekking & More
October in Nepal is arguably the best time of the year to visit the country. With optimal trekking and mountaineering conditions, October is when most tourists flock to Nepal. With little rain, there are promises of spectacular views and moderate temperatures. Not to mention, one of Nepal’s most popular festivals is usually in October making […]
Nepal in November: Weather, Festivals, Trekking & More
Most people consider October to be the best month to visit Nepal, but I feel that Nepal in November has some advantages. November is one of the best months for wildlife in the country, and it is festival season. November is the month of the Tihar festival which is my favorite festival in Nepal! Not […]
Book Review: From Goddess to Mortal by Rashmila Shakya and Scott Berry
It was a few years ago that a friend tagged me in a Facebook post asking what I thought about the Living Goddess. The post she tagged me in was a brief clip of the struggles a Living Goddess goes through which highlighted all the negatives. I left my opinion which looked at the Living […]
