Best time to visit Nepal

Timing is simple in Nepal: every destination here peaks in November, so one set of dates works for the whole country.

Averaged across every destination listed, Nepal is at its best in November, scoring 99 out of 100, with December close behind at 96. June is the weakest month nationally at 39. The workable window is wide — 4 months sit within eight points of the best — so a trip covering several of these places has room to move.

There is real variation inside Nepal: 31 °C annually in Bharatpur against 24 °C in Kathmandu. Rainfall is broadly similar throughout, from 132 wet days a year in Pokhara to 134 in Kathmandu.
