Trip FAQs

What is the best season for the tour in Nepal?
Kathmandu is a year-round destination, but the experience varies by season:

Autumn (October to mid-December) – Peak Season: The most popular time to visit. The monsoon rains clear the skies, offering crystal-clear views of the Himalayas. Major festivals like Dashain and Tihar also fall during this period, providing a rich cultural experience.

Spring (March to May) – Second Best: The weather is warm, and the valley is in full bloom. It is an excellent time for nature lovers, as rhododendrons (Nepal’s national flower) and jacarandas color the hillsides.

Winter (mid-December to February): Mornings are chilly, but days are usually sunny and clear. This is the quieter season, ideal for travelers who want to avoid crowds at heritage sites.

Summer/Monsoon (June to September): The valley becomes lush and green. Rain usually falls in the evenings, making it suitable for those who prefer a peaceful travel experience and lower prices.

Do I need a visa to travel to Nepal?
