The best time for the Kathmandu Pokhara Tours
It is possible to enjoy the Kathmandu Pokhara Tour all year long because Nepal has a variety of comfortable climates. The charm of each season is something different for people who travel.
Visiting in spring (March to May) is especially the best, since you’ll find pleasant temperatures, rhododendrons in flower, and clear sights of the mountains. Autumn (from September to November) is also popular because the weather is stable, the sky is blue, and people enjoy the festive celebrations of Dashain and Tihar.
During winter (December to February), there’s a cool crispness in the air, especially early in the morning and evening, and the skies stay clear, attracting fewer tourists.
The rain in summer/monsoon time (June–August) causes plants to grow more and green the landscape. Even if the weather isn’t great, being on the tour can still be enjoyable for those who appreciate peace and a low number of fellow tourists.
All in all, you can go on Kathmandu Pokhara Tour during any season, and every time brings a unique and stunning experience.
