Nepal is the roof of the Earth, the country of lofty mountains, and soft, rolling valleys. Weather in Nepal can be rather moody, so as a visitor, it’s important for you to understand the varied climate of this beautiful country, so that you know when to visit. After all, you’ve got to visit when the country is at its beautiful best!
You’d expect the home of the Himalayas to be chilly around the year, but it really does have a varied climate. October and November, or the fall season, is the best time to visit Nepal, as there will be sunny days, and clear skies, making these months ideal for those who want to trek. Between the months of March and May, tourists can enjoy the best of the spring season. There will still be some chill in the air, but the flowers will burst into bloom, and the sun will be up! This is also a great trekking season with clear skies, however, the skies may not be as clear as during October.
If you are primarily trekking in the mid-lands region, and want to know when to visit Nepal, know that there is pleasant weather the entire year-round, perhaps with the exception of January / December, where it’s rather cold, but even that period is okay if you have warm enough clothes. Monsoon season in Nepal is from mid-June to mid-September. It’ll rain a couple of hours a day and be mostly cloudy, but still with clear skies some days.
