Nepal has two seasons - the dry season from October to May and the rainy, monsoon season from June to September.
When to go
Early spring (March to April) and late autumn (October and November) are the best times to visit, and also offer the clearest mountain views and good weather for trekking.
From December to February there is snow on the mountains with freezing temperatures at high altitudes, while the summer months of June to August can be very hot for general travel.
