Best Time
The family holiday in Nepal can be done at all times of year, with each season in its own way. One of the finest seasons to visit the hills is in the springtime (March to May), as the weather is clear, the temperature is pleasant, and there are rhododendrons and flowers blooming all over. It is ideal for encompassing sightseeing and panoramic views at Nagarkot and Sarangkot.
Summer/monsoon (June to August) gives pleasant green foliage and colorful scenery, particularly in the countryside and Chitwan, but there is a possibility of rain showers that might disrupt travel arrangements.
The most popular season is autumn (September to November); it comes with the delightful views of the mountains, consistent weather, and big festivals such as Dashain and Tihar, lending the cultural flavor.
The weather is cool and dry, and there are fewer crowds during winter (December to February), perfect to travel in peace and have a magnificent view of the sunrise, except for cold mornings and evenings, particularly in Nagarkot.
Whatever time of the year that you decide to take a trip, the tour itself is complete, featuring as it does an all-rounder matching culture, nature, and scenic beauty no matter what time of the year it might be.
