Best Time To Visit Kathmandu

  • Avoid: Although Kathmandu has a pleasant climate all year long, the winters are chilly and the rains are consistent enough to hinder the travelling which makes spring and summer the best time to visit Kathmandu.
  • Tourist season: March to May is the summer season and the temperature rarely rises above 34°C and it hardly rains, so this is the most sought after tourist season of Kathmandu. The months September to November are also a good option as the weather is pleasant and there are many festivities that you can experience.

The typical Kathmandu weather is warm and the nights and mornings are cooler paving a way for a comfortable voyage.  The rains and winters although best avoided add a unique charm to the place.

  • Id like to ride a motorbike coveering countryside and of course mountains in Nepal. I will be available late December to April. Is this doable in January? Im open to arriving from India as well...

    Answer Report Abuse
    • Even though the months from December to April are favorable for road trips, it mostly depends on which region you choose. For example, Kathmandu experiences extreme cold in January and if you are planning to explore Terai Lowlands of south-central Nepal, you can do so anytime between October to March. Overall, March will be ideal the weather is not too cold and humidity levels are also low. But, I will suggest first zeroing in on the area you want to cover.
