Another year has just started, so we would like to propose new trips. To convince you to travel to Nepal this year, let us look at the best seasons and some of our trips, which can be personalised.
You may wonder when to visit Nepal, right?
The months between March and May called the spring season, are considered the second-best season for visiting Nepal. Because high passes are usually snow-free at that time, and the mountain views are still clear in April. Spring season is considered a variable weather season in Nepal because of warm days & nights and neither too hot nor too cold weather. During this season, you can see various flowers blooming, such as the national Rhododendron, magnolia, and other wildflowers in various parts of the country.
September, October, and November are called Post Monsson season. It is the best season to travel to Nepal as the climate and temperature are cool, and the weather is clear now. Furthermore, Autumn is when the two major festivals of Nepal, Dashain and Tihar, are celebrated.
From June to August, the monsoon season is in Nepal. During this season, it almost rains daily with the occasional thunderstorms. Temperature lies between 20 and 35 degrees. However, the Terai and the hilly regions experience much higher temperatures due to the scorching sun.
At last, during December-February, the days are cold and sunny. Very cold, and occasional snowfall at high altitudes is common in winter. The temperature will reach almost the freezing point during the season, while hilly regions experience rough weather and heavy snow.
Trishuli River – 1-day rafting/ kayaking trip
When: daily
Where: River’s Edge Resort, Trishuli River
Highlights: When you travel to Nepal, the one-day rafting or kayaking on Trishuli is perfect for you if you don’t have much time. The starting point is 72 km (approx. 3-4 hours) from Kathmandu at our River’s Edge Resort. This trip is an excellent break from the city noise or a stopover between Kathmandu and Pokhara (Nepal’s most popular tourist destinations). It offers relaxed rafting but with lots of excitement as well. We will provide you with a picnic-style lunch on a white sandy beach. After the day of adventure, you might choose to stay overnight at our riverside camp, extend your trip with some kayaking or canyoning or travel on to Kathmandu, Pokhara or Chitwan. It is open all year round, even during the monsoon!
Upper Budhi Gandaki – 3 days of rafting or kayaking
When: March- April, October – November on request
Where: River’s Edge Resort and Budhi Gandaki River
Highlights: If you read our previous posts, we love this river. We leave for the expedition from our resort (or on request from Kathmandu) and drive through the beautiful traditional Nepalese villages during that day. The starting point is in Sothi Khola, which is very close to the Tibetan border and where you can see the view of Mt. Manasalu (the 8th highest peak in the world). During the second day, you enjoy full-day rafting with grand rapids. On the last day, we will enjoy a half-day rafting with the finishing point at our resort. This rafting trip is unique and not touristic, and the water will make you tired and excited simultaneously. Constant rapids will bust your adrenaline rush. Campfire and riverside camping will make you happy and fulfilled.
