    Nepal

    The best time to come to Nepal

    Nepal’s climate varies with its topography and altitude, ranging from the tropical to the arctic. The low-land Terai region in the tropical southern part of the country, has a hot and humid climate that can rise above 45 Degree Celsius (113 Degree Fahrenheit) during summer. The mid-land regions are pleasant almost all the year round, although winter nights are cool. The northern mountain region has an alpine climate with considerably lower temperature in winter, especially , at altitudes above 3300m.

    The Seasons

    Trekking in Nepal can be undertaken throughout the year. with four distinct seasons each with different attractions to offer:

    Spring (between March – May)

    Springtime temperatures are mildly warm in the lowlands and moderate at higher altitudes, with plenty of opportunities for clear mountain views. It is also the time for flowers to blossom, and the national flower of Nepal – rhododendron – coats the mountainsides with its colorful beauty throughout the spring.

    Summer (between June – August)

    This is also the monsoon season in Nepal. The weather is hot and wet at times. It rains almost everyday with occasional thunderstorms in the evening, though mornings are often clear and you can expect beautiful sunrises.

    Autumn (between September – November)

    This is the best trekking season in Nepal. The weather is very pleasant and clear so the mountain views are the best. This is the peak season for trekking as mountain views are guaranteed so it’s wise to books your flights well in advance. This is also the season of festivals as Nepal celebrates the biggest Hindu festivals – Dashain followed by Tihar.

    Winter (between December – February)

The Himalayas can get to sub-zero temperatures, but the sun can bring some warmth during the day, even in the mountains.
