What is the best time to visit Kathmandu?
Late September to December remains the best time to visit Kathmandu because of the views of pristine glaciers and local festivals. During these months, the place remains dry and suitable for exploration and trekking. The temperature in October ranges from 26 degrees Celsius to 14 degrees Celsius, and as December approaches, it drops to the range of 20 degrees Celsius to 4 degrees Celsius. Kathmandu is also best visited in March and April as the temperature steadily rises and spring steps in! During this season, rhododendrons bloom, spreading across the whole valley giving it a beautiful, mesmerising look!
