Climate

Nepal’s climate varies with its topography. It ranges from tropical to arctic depending upon the altitude. Nepal has four climatic seasons:

Fall (Sept – Nov):

Offers excellent weather and tantalizing mountain views.

Spring (March – May):

Different varieties of wild flowers – especially the rhododendrons – and excellent Himalayan views make the hillside above 5000 meters a hunting paradise. The temperature is mildly warm in the plains and lower hills, and moderate at higher elevations over 4000 meters.

Winter (Dec – Feb):

Noted for occasional snowfall only at higher elevations, this season is ideal for travelling or trekking at lower elevations, generally below 3000 meters.

Summer (June – Aug):

Travel is warm and wet with monsoon up till September
