What is the Best Time for the Kathmandu Valley Sightseeing Tour?

Kathmandu Valley welcomes you throughout the year, where every season has a distinctive allure. However, if you want to make the most out of your journey, we recommend you spring and autumn seasons as they are the best times to visit Nepal.  These pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons offer you the best of everything, from climate, weather, views, and much more.

During spring(March to May), you will be enchanted with the purple blossom of the Jacaranda. The vibrant atmosphere under the clear blue skies uplifts the atmosphere of the tour. Likewise, during autumn(September to November),  the mild temperature and pleasant weather just make everything beautiful in the valley. You can have panoramic mountain views with clear visibility from the hilltops like Dulikhel.

Moreover, the sweeping view of the nature valley from Swayambhunath is absolutely stunning after monsoon rain carries away all the dust and pollution. Moreover, the people celebrating Dashain, Tihar, and Chaath during this season enhance the beauty of the valley with happiness and joy. Similarly, the winter and monsoon tour of the Kathmandu valley is also equally rewarding, but you should make prior weather-related preparations for a more comfortable journey.
