Planning a trip to Nepal? Here you'll find our day-by-day itinerary (From the Kathmandu valley to the Annapurna and Chitwan), plus the essential practical info to organise your journey.
The climate varies enormously with altitude: subtropical and hot in the Terai (Chitwan), temperate in the valleys (Kathmandu, Pokhara), alpine and cold in the mountains. The best times are autumn (October-November) and spring (March-April): clear skies, ideal for seeing the Himalayas, and pleasant temperatures. June to September is the monsoon (rain, clouds covering the peaks, leeches on the trails); winter is cold at altitude but clear. In spring the rhododendrons bloom.
