Most of the travel guides have recommended couple of months in spring and in Autumn as best time to travel to Nepal. However there are tours and treks that could be done during off season and low season. In fact it is cheaper to travel and destinations / trails are less crowded making it more relaxed.

(TRAVPR.COM) NEPAL - August 2nd, 2017 - For over half a century, Nepal became popular for adventurous trekking and mountaineering. October and November are the most popular months for Himalayan adventure trips as the monsoon clouds clear up and the temperature is mild during those two months. Warmth of summer melts snow over the mountain passes making it easy for trekkers to cross. The fall of temperature during the winter months and snow make it difficult for trekkers to go on remote treks and high passes. Another most preferred time to do Himalayan trekking is March and April. Mercury start to rise and the fogs settle during these months. Spring brings colors to the foothills of the Himalayas with blossoms of Rhododendron, Indian coral and Orchids. 

However Nepal is not only about Himalayan trekking and mountaineering which is limited by weather conditions. There are several treks, hill stations, nature safari tours and pilgrimage destinations that could be visited year around. “We can promote pilgrimage tour of Hindu and Buddhist sites to the neighboring countries making special discount for off season. Thousands of pilgrims come on a pilgrimage tour of Nepal from Asian countries like China, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. But in lack of proper promotion, we have been unable to bring them in off season when hotels and travel agencies can offer them better price. ” says managing director Kopila Sen at ‘iTourNepal.com P Ltd.’

Nepal Tour during Off Season (June - Sept)

June to Sept is rainy season in the southern slopes of the Himalayas. Rain clouds mostly cover the Himalayas most of the time even though it rains mostly in the late afternoon and night. There are some territories like Mustang, Manang and Dolpo which sees very little rain and it is possible to trek during monsoon in those regions. Nepal is also a best transit for Tibet tours. Actually this is the best time to travel to Tibet and trans-Himalayan region of Nepal. Similarly pilgrimage destinations like Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha and Hindu sites could be visited during these months. 

Nepal Tour during Low Season (Dec – Feb)

Dec to Feb is considered as low season because of snow and temperature drop in the highland. However it is perfect time to do short treks and tours in the foothills of the Himalayas. Winter days are pleasant and sunny. Sky is clear mostly during winter guaranteeing the view of Himalayas. So it is perfect time to tour around tropical national parks of Chitwan, Bardia and Suklaphata and drive around the hill stations like Nagarkot, Dhulikhel, Bandipur, Daman, Tansen and Gorkha. 

So depending upon the travelers’ quest for adventure and destinations within Nepal, time of the year could be planned to minimize the travelling cost.
