Best Time to Visit Nepal

Having been in Nepal for every month of the year, I wanted to share some of my insights on what each month has to offer. Nepal in January can be both insanely beautiful with crystal clear skies and extremely cold. It’s great for wildlife encounters, but difficult for high altitude trekking. Here’s the ups and […]

After visiting Nepal three times, I’ve officially been there every month of the year. I’ve seen the pros and cons of visiting Nepal in February, and I can’t wait to share them. February in Nepal is cold, but it’s a fantastic month to avoid the crowds and get stunning views of the Himalaya without trekking […]

March is the second most popular time of year to visit Nepal. With temperatures and weather perfect for trekking, it’s easy to understand why. About 70% of people going to Nepal state that trekking is their number one reason to visit the country. Besides trekking, March also offers beautiful rhododendron forests, lush fields of crops, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]

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. You’ll get hit with monsoon season which can make it very difficult to make plans. Those who like structure and order may find themselves going crazy with cancelations and […]

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 […]
