Most people know Nepal as the land of the highest mountain, Mount Everest. So, many tourists, including trekkers and mountaineers, aspire to come to Nepal to see Everest. Aside from mountains, the natural beauty of Pokhara and the historical essence of Kathmandu attract many tourists.
Kathmandu Valley is the most visited place in Nepal. Being the capital city of Nepal, Kathmandu Valley has 7 out of 10 UNESCO World Heritage sites. The fascination of these sites connected by their historical, cultural, and religious essence has further attracted both internal and foreign travelers.
Since Nepal has only one international airport in Kathmandu, most of the trekkers or tourists embarking on various treks or tours must first come to Kathmandu. For this reason, too, Kathmandu has been one of the most visited places in Nepal. Other most visited places aside from Kathmandu include Pokhara, Chitwan, Lumbini etc.
Nepal extends a warm welcome throughout the entire year for exploration. Whether you are touring or trekking in Nepal, each season reveals its different side to the travelers. However, if you want to get the most out of your best of Nepal tour, we recommend that you plan your Nepal tour itinerary during spring(March to May) and autumn(September to November).
The vibrant energy of the spring will beautify Pokhara and Chitwan with lush and blooming greenery. Additionally, the wildlife in Chitwan National Park wakes up after the long winter hibernation. Bird migration during this season makes it a perfect haven for birdwatching in Nepal. Moreover, the clearer skies allow you to soak in the panoramic views of the Himalayas.
Likewise, the autumn season has a unique festive allure to it. The main festivals like Dashain, Tihar, Indra Jatra, Chaath, etc, fall during this season. You can witness the grand celebration of Indra Jatra during the Kathmandu sightseeing tour. Taking the blessing of the living goddess Kumari during the vibrant Indra Jatra festival is one of the most peculiar cultural facts about Nepal. Moreover, the dry trails in this post-monsoon season offer a more comfortable and smooth Best of Nepal Tour.

Lake, Safari, Mountain and Old Town Experiences. I am happy to have finally experienced Nepal with my family. This trip has been very interesting to say the least. I have learnt so much about Nepal. Deepak’s team of guides and drivers are all very professional, warm and trustworthy. When Deepak came to greet us personally at our hotel I knew we were in good hands. But I truly was blown away when he came to our hotel and brought us out for dinner our last night here in Nepal.
