You can relish the panoramic Himalayan views with clear visibility under the blue skies. Moreover, the purple flowers blooming all over the Kathmandu valley during spring enchant every traveler with their beauty.

    Likewise, the festive vibe during the autumn season is something else. Nothing can beat the warm temperature with the cool breeze of this autumn season. The winter season(December to February) is also equally rewarding in terms of views and exploration, but you have to be prepared for the cold and freezing weather. Off-season, like monsoon season, is also doable, but only with the right preparation for the heavy rainfall and wet roads. This journey can be one of the best Nepal Monsoon tour, as the rainfall brings out the lush greenery and awakens the vibrant landscapes in the Kathmandu Valley.
