Overview of Nepal Monsoon Tour

The Nepal Monsoon Tour is a wonderful opportunity for travelers to witness the unique allure of Nepal when nature comes alive with the rainfall, and so does your journey. Usually, people find it a hassle to travel during the monsoon, but this time of the year offers an experience like no other, especially in Nepal.

With the monsoon rainfall from June to August, you can witness nature shifting its grandeur. While the landscapes become more vibrant with lush greenery, the small streams change into fast-flowing rivers. The mountains will play hide and seek, hiding for a few seconds among the clouds and mist and showing their glory again in no time. Hence, this 9-day tour in Nepal during the monsoon can truly be once in a lifetime experience.

The first part of your Nepal Tour in the monsoon begins at the medieval city of Kathmandu, where culture and history thrive in every corner. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites within Kathmandu speak about the fact that this city is a treasure trove of Nepalese culture. Continuing the journey, you will make your way towards the outskirts of the city, approaching Namo Buddha and Dulikhel.

This picturesque hill station offers panoramic Himalayan views and a serene atmosphere. From there, you will begin your journey to the picturesque village of Balthali, surrounded by terraced fields and lush forests. This place is perfect for short hikes and authentic local experiences.

Now comes the final phase of the rewarding tour in Nagarkot. This scenic hilltop destination offers you breathtaking sunrise views over the mountains.
