Best Time to Enjoy These Experiences

October to November is the best time for crystal-clear views, making it perfect for Everest scenic flights and classic treks. The weather is stable, and the mountain panoramas are at their most spectacular.

March to May brings flowering landscapes to life, especially the iconic rhododendrons. It's also a vibrant time for cultural festivals, making it ideal for travelers who enjoy nature and tradition blended together.

December to February offers a quieter, more introspective atmosphere—perfect for wellness retreats, meditation getaways, and jungle safaris in the southern lowlands where the climate remains mild and pleasant.

June to September marks the monsoon in much of Nepal, but it’s the perfect season to explore rain-shadow regions like Mustang. Lowland escapes also remain accessible, offering lush greenery and fewer crowds.
