Spring (March to May)
The spring season is also known as the blooming paradise in Nepal. During this time, flowers bloom all over the place, adding beauty to the trekkers and adventurous. During this time, the days are long, which can be utilized to explore places. The winds are pleasant. The flowers add the paint to the hills with red, pink, and white, which is eye-catching. It’s the perfect time for a hiking adventure, as the weather is clear and the skies are clear and blue. You can experience the beautiful mountain views all over Nepal on the north side. You can trek from Annapurna base camp to Everest base camp. Every hiking trail comes alive in this season, and it’s a less crowded time.
If you want to do a cultural experience, you can experience that as well. During this time there are many festivals celebrated, like Holi, which is the festival of colors. Buddha Jayanti, which is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Budha, who was born in Nepal in Lumbini, can be a unique experience for travelers. In short, it’s the best time to experience it in Nepal.
Autumn (September to November)
Autumn is another great season to visit Nepal. It’s also called the golden season to visit Nepal, as the monsoon has just gotten over and the skies are clear and blue. The crisp air and beautiful landscapes just verdant from the moon add to its beauty. During this time, both nature and culture shine the brightest. The temperatures during this time are neither too cold nor too hot, which can be an ideal time to trek and explore Nepal. The trails are dry, and you will get awesome mountain views.
It’s also the season of festivals, as Nepal’s biggest festivals, Dashain and Tihar, are celebrated at this time. Dashain is a festival that is celebrated for 10 days, and Tihar is a festival that is celebrated for 5 days. During Dashain, the elder people give blessings to their children by putting on tika and giving Dakshina (some amount of money). All the family members visit home during this time, and they enjoy eating Nepali dishes and celebrating it for 10 days. Tihar is another festival. It is also called the Festival of Lights. During this time, every house in Nepal shines the brightest. During this time, all shops, restaurants, and houses are filled with light, and they do the pooja of Mata Laxmi, who is known as the goddess of wealth. You will experience the unique and vibrant culture of Nepal during this season.
Summer/Monsoon (June to August)
Summer is not preferable for visiting because during this time the weather is rainy every time, which disturbs the visit. You will see high-flowing rivers everywhere, as due to the rain, rivers overflow, and then it gives a bad experience. During the month, the hills become more like a green carpet. During this time, people did Dhan Ropani, which means rice planting. So everywhere in Nepal, you will see green fields filled with water.
Trekking in these seasons is avoidable, as during this season there is a high chance of flooding on rivers and landslides on hills, and the leeches are all over the trials. So we recommend not planning any of your trips during this season.
Winter (December to February)
Winter in Nepal can be a good time to visit if you wish to visit in cold weather. All the peaks are filled with dense snow as it’s the snowy time in the mountains. The weather drops drastically. But visiting and having city tours can be an ideal time as well. During this time, the atmosphere is peaceful. You can visit UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Winter is ideal for wildlife as well as safaris, where the temperatures are milder. If you are in Kathmandu, then the morning and evening are cold, but the day is sunny, so you will not feel that cold.
You can choose the season according to your activity, whether it’s rafting, hiking, or cultural tour exploration. It varies depending on your trip plan.
