The climate of Nepal varies enormously as the altitude increases. Each region is divided into a lowland area and an area of very high altitude, so you always need to be prepared if you are planning to go into the mountains. In general, the best time to traevl to Népal is from October to May, during the dry season. Temperatures are high, especially at Katmandu, but it doesn't rain, unlike during the months of June, July, August and September. If you are going on a trek, avoid the months of December and January, which are very cold, especially at high altitude. Avoid visiting Katmandu in May and June, when the heat is unbearable and there is a great deal of mud. So go to see the highest peaks in the world, or to discover the Buddhist and Hindu temples, in the dry season.

Enjoyed all of our interactions with the citizens of Nepal and Bhutan. Everyone we came in contact with was very friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed our trek to the Tiger's Nest Monastery even though the roundtrip took us about five hours including approximately an hour in the monastery. Also, really enjoyed staying at the Old Inn in Bandipur and having a day to relax in this quiet town.

From the timeliness of the drivers for pickups or communication if there were delays due to traffic to our very informative guides during tours, we were delighted with all aspects of the tour. The hotels and bed and breakfast met or exceeded our expectations. Chitwan and the tours of the World Heritage Sites were definitely highlights. Sunrise at Pokhara to view the Himilayas was also fantastic.
