What is the appropriate time to explore to NEPAL?
Climatic factors are very important to decide on a visit to Nepal. October-November, the beginning of the dry season, is in many ways the best time of the year in Nepal. With the monsoon only recently finished the campaign is green and lush and Nepal is at its most beautiful. The rice is harvested and there are the most important and colorful festivals to enjoy. At this time of year, the air is sparkling clean, visibility is unparalleled and the Himalayan views are as close to perfect as you can ask. In addition, the weather is still mild, neither too hot nor too cold. For obvious reasons, this is also the peak tourist season.
In December-January the temperatures and visibility are still good, but it can get very cold. Hikers should be prepared, as the snow can be encountered on altitude treks. En route to the base camp of Mount Everest at this time of year can be a real feat of endurance and the Annapurna Circuit Trek is often closed by snow on the Thorang La pass. Down in Kathmandu cheapest hotels, where heating is non-existent, are often cold and dark in the evening. There is sometimes a brief winter monsoon, which lasts only a day or two in January.
February to March to April when the tail of the dry season is a good time to second. The weather is so warm altitude treks are not as painful, although by the end of the dry season, before the breaking of the monsoon, it’s getting too hot for comfort. The visibility is not good as earlier in the dry season since the country is now very dry and dust in the air reduced the crystal clarity of the Himalayas. In return, Nepal beautiful rhododendrons and many other flowers are in full bloom though there are plenty of colors to see along the trails.
May and early June are the best months because it is extremely hot and dusty and the next monsoon hovers over you as a threat. Mid-June to September, when the monsoon finally arrives, it is the least popular time to visit Nepal. The rains wash the dust from the air, but clouds obscured the mountains if you’re unlikely to enjoy more of a rare glimpse of the Himalayas. Even if it does not rain every day it usually does rain every day and muddy trails and be plagued by leeches.
Despite this, it is possible to trek during the monsoon, although high rivers may further complicate things, and it’s certainly not as nice as other times of the year. Landslides often block the roads during the monsoon, but many visitors still come to Nepal India form time is even less pleasant down in the plains. The last part of the monsoon, the months of August to September, the holidays are a time that will certainly enliven a visit to Kathmandu.
