Best time to travel

Spring is the best season for nature, culture, and heritage tours or holiday trips in Nepal, so we highly recommend that you explore the beauty of the Himalayas. March to early June is characterized by blooming rhododendrons in the hilly area with amazing warm temperatures; it makes a visually stunning time for tours and holidays. The vibrant colors of the flowers against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks create a picturesque landscape that can fulfill your desire.

Autumn is another season to explore the beauty of the Nepal Himalaya for nature lovers. So, from September to early December, it offers clear skies and sunny weather that is not too hot, with the best visibility of scenic mountain peaks. You may feel a magical atmosphere with comfortable temperatures during the autumn for holiday travel in Nepal. Visitors also can travel to Nepal in the winter season (December to February) for short trekking, city sightseeing tours, or wildlife safari tours at lower altitudes.

Nepal is geographically located between China and India—a landlocked country, it is a naturally beautiful country. People also know the place where Lord Buddha was born and the country of Mt. Everest, so we believe it is a myth of heaven. Here we can get the variety of weather and different land structures here in Nepal. In the northern part of Nepal, you can see the panoramic mountains, including Mt. Everest—the top of the world. The middle part of Nepal is a hilly region; Kathmandu and Pokhara are also included in the hilly region, and it is a land for trekking and hiking. Hilly regions are the gateway to adventure trekking trails like Langtang, Everest, and Annapurna. The southern part of the country is the Terai region, and you can find flat land and warm weather where you will have a wildlife safari tour in Chitwan National Park. Nepal Himalaya Tours will provide you with the best transportation, deluxe hotel accommodation, and helicopters for Everest Mountain flights as well if you wish (but it is not included in the package). We also organize the Everest breakfast tour by helicopter at the Everest View Hotel, Syangboche, where you can see the Mt. Everest courtyard.
