Best time to visit Nepal and the climate conditionsThe seasons in Nepal are the same as in Europe. It is cold in January and hot in July. The overall climate of Nepal is moderate but it differs throughout the country. Monsoon begins in June and ends in September. During this time you can expect rain every day, especially in July-August. Rain can usually be expected and does not last all day. So during the monsoon season, you can still go to Nepal. This period in Nepal is also called off-season, so there will be far fewer people because of heavy rainfall. Be flexible for your trip, as some flights or vehicles can be canceled in bad weather.
Spring (March, April, and May) and autumn season (September, October, November) are the best time of year and the best time to visit Nepal. The climate is pleasant and the sky is clear.
