When should you go to Nepal?

Step 2 reveals that the time of year you plan your trip to Nepal is nearly as important as deciding on where you will go. Each of Nepal's seasons are very different, making some activities great yet dampen others depending on the time of year.

You might also want to plan your journey around a festival or use some itineraries as a planning guide! For trekkers, I've kept an accurate weather report for every month of the year.

 

The first peak season of the year is in spring between late February, March and April. Trekking in Nepal during spring in Nepal

There are two peak or traditionally "best" times of the year to visit Nepal. Spring and Winter.

During spring visibility in the mountains is generally good up high (4,000m+) but can be hazy lower down if there is dust in the air. Treks like Annapurna Base Camp are not recommended in March due to snowfall, so do your research before commiting. However, spring means blooming rhododendrons and other flowers throughout the mountain valleys on other treks. Heavy snow has melted in many places in March and in April and the weather is warm when the sun is shining.

Summer in Nepal is between May and June though it can stretch into July with ease. It also heralds the arrival of Nepal's fifth official season which is known as monsoon season. trekking during the summer in Nepal

Nepal's summer season is humid and hot with the prospect of it getting even hotter. It's not a great time for trekking but it's still possible. Other activities are still quite possible.

Nepal's "monsoon season" is also hot, humid but it gets very wet with heavy downpours every day. This is the least popular time of year to visit Nepal but it is one of the most popular times of the year to go trekking in Upper Mustang.

» Find out more about when to visit Nepal, what's it like to go trekking in Nepal during the summer and what's it like to go trekking during monsoon season in Nepal

The autumn months in Nepal of mid-September, October and November are traditionally the countries peak and the best time to visit.

Clear skies in Nepal during the AutumnAfter the monsoon rains have cleared Nepal's skies offer spectacular mountain views. Early on in the season the mountain valleys are still green with stunning snow capped vistas.

The only downside to peak season in Nepal is that it can get crowded on popular trekking trails. In the cites it's generally okay for tours. In the jungles tourist numbers also increase but things are rarely jam packed. For trekkers it's wise to book ahead to secure a good trekking guide at this time of year as it's the best time to visit Nepal!

» Find out more about when to visit Nepal and what's it like to go trekking in Nepal during Autumn

Winter in Nepal consists of December, January and February which are very cold months! Winter trekking in Nepal

While the skies are usually clear with warm daytime sunshine, shaded areas are cold and at night it can get very cold. Treks with high passes or treks of a long duration are often blocked with snow at this time of year.

Snow rarely reaches the Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara or the jungle areas of Nepal which remain open for culture, heritage, wildlife and adventure travelers. It will however, be cold!

When it comes to planning out when to go and visit Nepal you should take a look at when the major festivals are on as they can be fantastic.Celebrating Holi in Nepal

Nepal has more festivals and holidays than just about any other country in the world. Most of them are best celebrated in the Kathmandu Valley for "intensity" however some are certainly celebrated throughout the country.

Some of the best festivals to plan your trip to Nepal around include Holi, Shivaratri, Indra Jatra and Tihar.

As we are working things out, let's start with figuring out what you can do with your fixed amount of days in Nepal using itineraries.

Save money by booking some things, but don't book everything!

Step 3 is divided into two parts. The first involves visas, flights, hotels and packing lists. The second part is all about whether you need to book a trek, jungle or heritage tour in advance. So let's firm things up by planning out what you need to book in advance and how you can save some money!

You'll need a travel visa to enter Nepal. The good news is that for most countries they are available on arrival.

Nepal's on arrival tourist visa is available for most countries. They come in 15 day, 30 day and 90 day options with a relative fee attached to both.Passport scanners at Kathmandu Airport

In 2015 Nepal introduced new electronic passport and visa processing machines at Tribhuvan International Airport. The ATM machines are a little awkward to use and it is still advisable to bring spare passport photographs and photocopies of your passport ID page with you. Knowing the address of your first night stay is also required.

COVID restrictions are minimal in Nepal. Please see the list of entry requirements for more.

If you plan to extend your tourist visa in Nepal then do be aware that this can only be done online through Nepal's office Department of Immigration website.

» Find out more about applying for a tourist visa in Nepal.

» Find out how to extend your visa in Nepal.

Before going any further you'll need to book your flight to Nepal!

Direct international flights to Nepal outside of Asia are rare. There are usually direct connections in Amsterdam, Istanbul, Moscow, New Delhi, Beijing, Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.

Nepal's own national carrier generally only flies within Asia. Flights on Nepal Airlines can only be booked with a travel agent or via bank transfer.

Like most international flights you'll save money by booking in advance.

Try my flight search to look for great deals on flights to Nepal:

Nepal has a large range of accommodation available at great rates. There are some "Nepal specific" things you need to be aware of though.

Electricity in Nepal can be a problem and power cuts outside of the capital can be frequent. The good news is that most hotels have some form of backup. If constant electricity is important to you then you'll need a hotel that has a generator. Since 2018 Kathmandu and Pokhara have had relatively stable electricity supplies. However in Sauraha, Lumbini or remoter towns power cuts can still happen.

Hotels/guest houses/teahouses when trekking are not bookable online (don't believe anyone telling you they are). They can only be booked by your trekking guide or through the guesthouse you stayed at the previous night.

Accommodation in Nepal never books out. However your "favorite" choice of hotel might book out during peak season. If that's important to you, then book ahead. Likewise if you've never been to Nepal it's always advisable to book your first few nights stay when you arrive.

The best hotel booking option for the main towns is with Agoda below who I've partnered with as bookings are hassle free and have good rates:

Search for Hotels in Kathmandu

First time booking a hotel in Nepal? Read my recommendation of hotels in Kathmandu.

When it comes to making out a packing list for Nepal you always need to remember your main activity in Nepal.

A packing list for just trekking will be different from someone doing other activities too. The good news is that nearly everything you need is already available in Nepal. Let's have a look at the essentials.

General must haves in Nepal: Extra passport photos (for visas, permits etc). Dust mask (the air in Kathmandu can get clogged with dust and these will help - available in Nepal). Flashlight (preferably a head torch). A power bank for your mobile or tablet. Preferred toiletries. Any prescription medicine.

Packing list when trekking: the he worst thing I've seen many people do when it comes to packing for a trek is bring too much! It's a trek and not a summit so you don't don't need to pack like mountaineer might.

Note: don't forget to let your bank or credit card service known you'll be going to Nepal to avoid your card being blocked.

» Read more about the ultimate travel packing list

» Read about a packing list for trekking in Nepal

You'll need specific travel insurance for many of the activities you'll be doing in Nepal.

Many travel insurance companies do not cover trekking above 4,000m!

Do keep in mind that mountain rescues cost a minimum of USD$5,000 in cash only. So having the proper travel insurance is essential in Nepal.

I've written up a guide to the best travel insurance for traveling to Nepal.

 

next » book treks & tours

Now that you've booked your flights / hotels it's time to save some money.

Let's find out if you really need to book a trek or activity in advance, how to avoid being ripped off and save costs while still ensuring you have a great trip.

Should you book a trek in advance? That depends ...

By now you should have selected a trek and the time of year you want to go on it. If not head back to step one before we move on to your choices.

Trekking at high altitude in Nepal during the winterBooking a trek online through a big international tour company is expensive. If you are on a tight time schedule then pre-booking your trek with a local company is a good idea. If you are going during peak season and want the best trekking guides then book early in the year.

If you are on a super budget and have extra time then book everything yourself when you arrive in Nepal. In all cases it's really important you read my guide on how to choose a trekking guide in Nepal.

» If you are looking for the local guide use my Find A Trekking Guide Service.

Nepal has some of the greatest cultural heritage sites in the world. Some need tickets others don't. Swayambunath Stupa in the Kathmandu Valley

Save some money and hassles. Don't book a heritage tour online or before you go to Nepal. Most tours are rip-off's.

Search through my guides to The Kathmandu Valley and you'll see some entrance prices there. Most tours online don't include entrance tickets or the "extras" involved like a guides lunch or their tip. Do be careful.

In person, most tour guides have been quoting the same stuff for decades and leave out many important areas.

Don't let entrance prices put you off. There are many heritage sites in Nepal that are free. These include Kathmandu's old city. North and south Patan. All of Thimi. All of Kirtipur and all but the Indreshwar temple in Panauti (which is worth it).

» Save money and use these free heritage walks in Kathmandu.

» Better yet buy a guidebook with dedicated walking tours laid out for you for all of the above and throughout the Kathmandu Valley.

» If you plan on getting a car with a driver then I know a good one so you can contact me.

The jungles of Nepal are popular destinations for many people and you don't always need to book everything in advance.

However there are some important things to remember.Rhino bathing in Chitwan

If your sole reason for visiting Nepal is to see wildlife then take note that some animals are not very visible during peak season, while others are not. Do read my guides on both Chitwan and Bardia includes all this information and more.

Chitwan National Park rarely get booked out even during peak season. The exception to this rule is that if there is a particular resort you want to stay in then do book it ahead to avoid disappointment.

If you are planning a trip to Bardia National Park then it is very important that you book ahead due to the long distances involved in getting there and the remote area the park is located in.

» Do read my guide to Bardia National Park

Adrenaline junkies and outdoor sports enthusiasts will be happy to hear they can save money by not booking every outdoor activity.

From paragliding and micro-flights to bungy jumps, white-water rafting and ziplines. The great news is that you don't have to book any of these online and can save money by doing it all in country.micro flights in Nepal

As with everything the exception is if you are on a very tight time frame and want to have it all ready and waiting you. For most people though, it's just a question of booking an activity the day before.

Many white water rafting expeditions leave on certain days of the week. Once you are in country you can book them.

The easiest activities to book are the following. Bungy jumping and white water rafting can be booked at any travel agent in Kathmandu. While paragliding, micro flights, white-water rafting (western rivers), canyoning, zip-lining, horse riding and day hikes are better arranged in Pokhara via travel agents in Lakeside.

» Recommended agents, including their locations on maps are all listed in my guidebook to Nepal

» Meanwhile do read about these activities in my free guide to Pokhara

If you are looking for spiritual activities in Nepal then you are much better off visiting them within Nepal first rather than booking something online.

Lumbini is best visited by bus from Kathmandu or Pokhara. Booking a hotel is all you will need to do. The monasteries around Lumbini are all free to visit. Bicycles can be rented or a cycle rickshaw tour hired on the spot Monk in Lumbini under a treeby the main gates. There's no need to book a tour.

Meanwhile in Kathmandu or Pokhara Hindu, Buddhist or Newari temples can be found via the heritage section here.

All meditation or yoga centers should be visited in person as many are not in good condition and their websites are often deceiving in description.

Quickly learn how to get around Nepal from taxis to buses, flights and on foot!

Step 4 is really about hitting the ground running. Avoid the touts offering rickshaw rides for 1,000 rupees and find out why that Kathmandu to Pokhara bus takes a lot longer that the 5 hours it says in most guidebooks.

Arriving into Nepal by air is often a shock to many people's systems. The best advice I can give is - relax and go with the flow! Kathmandu International Airport

Kathmandu international airport is located within Kathmandu city and makes for a quick ride to the center.

I really advise you to read through the links below about arriving in for a full step-by-step look at what to expect.

Flights are often delayed so those hotel pick-ups don't always work out. There is an official airport taxi and for about half the price you can pick up a local taxi who'll take you to your hotel. Prices are in the guides below and there's a money changer just past the security scanners at arrivals.

For those entering Nepal by land then I do recommend you visit some of Nepal's main attractions near the border or on the way to a main city to save time and an arduous journey later.

» Do read my free guide on arriving in to Kathmandu Airport

» Do read my free guide on traveling into Nepal overland

Once at your hotel you'll probably figure out that Nepal is still largely a cash driven economy. So, you'll need some!Nepali rupees

In recent years Nepal has been moving its ATMs into what are known as "ATM Lounges". These are small little shop fronts that contain several ATMs from different banks. Do make sure you've called your bank or credit card company before using an ATM in Nepal!

If you've brought cash with you then there are plenty of official money changers around Thamel (Kathmandu) and Lakeside (Pokhara). Most offer the same rates.

» Read my guidebook to Nepal to find out my recommended money exchangers.

» Learn more about Nepal ATMs and Banks

There are many ways to get around Nepal's cities. Just watch out for touts and "tourist prices"!

Local Suzuki Taxis in KathmanduIf you are going for heritage walks in Kathmandu city then walk and don't take a taxi. There's no need for a taxi or rickshaw. If you do want to take a rickshaw they generally hang about Thamel and your should pay no more than 200 rupees for a ride to Durbar Square.

Taxis are the most common form or transport around cities in Nepal. They are generally cheap but a little small and the meters are more expensive than bargaining. You must agree on a price to a destination before getting in. Otherwise you will be overcharged!

If you are going for longer day trips or want to avail of a private car and driver then this is also very possible in Nepal. If you want to use the same service as I do then feel free to contact me.

Nepal has dozens of domestic airport terminals all over the country that people make use of to avoid long road journeys.Local plane in Nepal

Kathmandu to Pokhara only take 30mins on a plane vs 10+ hours on a bus. That's a big difference if you are stuck for time.

Do not buy domestic airline tickets online! Credit card processing is not secure and is usually done in another country. Moreover, Lukla flights are often cancelled or delayed. To book a flight simply get a local travel agent to do it for you. Much like buses travel agents in Nepal get an agent discount which means buying from them is also cheaper than buying from the airline itself!

The same goes for Kathmandu to Lukla flights.

If you really need an airline ticket bought for then try my Nepal Travel Planning Services

Buses are the most popular way to get around Nepal for both locals and tourists alike. Tourist buses in Nepal

There are regular tourist buses leaving Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan everyday which are reasonably comfortable. Tickets are only available via travel agents who get build discounts for them. Do not try to buy them directly from bus companies as you will pay more. Anyone offering to buy bus tickets online for you will be charging a hefty commission.

Budget travelers wont' save much more than a dollar by taking local buses to Kathmandu, Pokhara or Chitwan. What's more, that dollar will be used getting to the local bus parks outside the main accommodation areas!

Oh and don't believe any guide book telling you the Kathmandu - Pokhara bus is only 5 hours. The road is being widened so expect it to take 7 hours.
