Our recommendation is to visit Nepal in the Autumn and Spring seasons.

To get the best out of the trip/trekking, October, November, March, and, April are the best times to visit Nepal.

Autumn Season (September – November)

Autumn is the best season to visit Nepal. Usually, Late September, October, and November are the best time for trekking in Nepal.
The sky is clear and mild, and many trekkers are on their route to popular trekking destinations, Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Base Camp, Langtang Valley, and other hilly destinations for a long day of trekking. As Autumn is the peak season, hotel/lodge prices rise.

Winter Season (December – February)

The winter season is only suitable for exploring Nepal's lower regions. Because of the heavy snowfall in the highlands, now is not the best season to visit Nepal. Because higher-elevation hiking is not feasible during the winter season, the best things to do in Nepal in December are to visit Kathmandu, Lumbini, Patan, and Pokhara.
