Best Time to Visit

The best time to visit Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan is in the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months. These months provide clear and bright skies, are hot and otherwise quite ideal weather, and a sight of mountains, particularly at Pokhara, where the snow-capped Himalayas are in clear view.

The spring is an occasion to see flowers and new foliage, autumn to see blue skies and nice weather, so outdoor activities and sightseeing are a good idea.

During these seasons, there is also dry weather in Chitwan, which makes viewing the wildlife during jungle safaris better. Animals are more likely to come around water, and the possibilities of spotting rhinos, deer, birds, and even Bengal tigers are enhanced. The forests are not as muddy, and there is an overall pleasant experience for visitors.

It is best not to travel during the monsoon months between June and August. The heavy rains also result in muddy roads and even landslides, and travelling is hard and, to some extent, dangerous. The rainy season may restrict outdoor activities, and the animals in Chitwan will be very difficult to sight because they go into hiding.

You should consider taking your Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan tour in the spring or autumn season, as this provides less demanding travel and relief from the type of weather, with beautiful memories along the way, going around Nepal.
