The best time to visit Nepal depends on what kind of experience you are looking for, but for most travellers, October–November and March–April are considered the ideal seasons. These months offer stable weather, comfortable temperatures, and clear skies, making them suitable for both sightseeing and trekking.
October and November come just after the monsoon season, which means the air is generally clear and mountain views are at their best. This period is especially popular for trekking in the Himalayas, and trails, teahouses, and flights can be busy. Prices for accommodation and flights may be slightly higher due to demand.
March and April mark the spring season, when temperatures begin to rise and rhododendrons bloom across many trekking regions. Visibility is usually good, though slightly hazier than in autumn. Spring is also a popular time for adventure activities such as paragliding and rafting.
Winter (December–February) is quieter and colder, particularly at higher altitudes. While high passes may be snow-covered, lower-altitude treks and cultural travel are still possible. Summer and monsoon season (June–September) bring rain and cloud cover, which can limit mountain views but also offer lush landscapes and fewer tourists.
Choosing the best time to visit Nepal depends on your priorities — trekking, culture, photography, or avoiding crowds.
