"When to go to Nepal depends on what you want to do there." For hikers, the clear skies of October and November give them the best views of Everest and Annapurna. The warmer days of March and April bring the mountains to life with colour. But Nepal is beautiful all year round, not just during the peak seasons. The mild winter sun is great for cultural tours at lower altitudes, and the lush, rain-soaked landscapes of the monsoon show a peaceful side of the country that few tourists see. This is our expert guide to figuring out Nepal's seasons and finding the right time for your trip.
