Best Season for Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour

Nepal can be visited year-round, but the ideal seasons for the Kathmandu Pokhara Chitwan Tour are autumn (September to November) and spring (March to May). During these months, the weather is pleasant, skies are clear, and the visibility of the Himalayan peaks is at its best. Autumn is particularly famous for its festivals and cultural vibrancy, while spring treats travelers with blooming rhododendron forests and lush greenery.

The summer months (June to August) bring monsoon rains, which can cause occasional travel disruptions but offer fewer tourists and vibrant landscapes.

Key points about the best season:

  • Autumn and spring provide clear skies and ideal weather for sightseeing and photography.
