Best Time for the Kathmandu Pokhara tour

You can experience the stunning beauty of Nepal’s two most iconic destinations, Kathmandu Valley and Pokhara, all year round! While you can enjoy a pleasant and memorable trip no matter when you visit, the ideal time for an unforgettable experience is from March to May during the pleasant spring season or from September to early December during the glorious autumn season.

During these two seasons, you can witness lush green fields and spectacular flower blooms that adorn the cities and bask in the tropical climate with clear skies and moderate temperatures ranging from 20°C to a balmy 30°C.

Winter in Kathmandu and Pokhara lasts from late December to February, bringing crisp and cold air. During this time, the snow-covered mountains glimmer in the sunlight and create breathtaking views. The summer and rainy seasons, from June to August, bring warm temperatures, and the rain brings life to the plants and gardens with its bright colors. The majestic views of the hills and the people’s fascinating culture make this season a particular time of year to visit Kathmandu and Pokhara.

Trip Difficulty

This tour to Nepal is perfect for everyone, regardless of their fitness level. Whether you are a couch potato or an adventure seeker, you can join the fun and make the most of this memorable holiday. For those who don’t want to do any strenuous activity, no problem! All that’s needed is some easy walking around the heritage sights. But if you’re looking for more excitement, Pokhara is the place to be. You can enjoy activities like paragliding, bungee jumping, and zip wire. You may require a certain level of physical fitness to be enjoyed these safely.

The tour is also suitable for children and the elderly, who can be guided and assisted by an experienced local guide throughout their journey.

Safety Tips

Here are a few ideas to make sure you have a fantastic and secure vacation:

• Plan and research your destination.
• Pack light, and bring essentials like sunscreen, a hat, and a first aid kit.
• Stay in touch with family and friends at home.
• Know the local laws and customs.
• Have a copy of your passport and other essential documents.
• Be mindful of your surroundings.
• Be considerate when taking photos of people – many Nepalis may be camera-shy, so it’s always a good idea to make sure it’s alright with them before snapping away!
• Dress with discretion! Nepal is a culturally conservative nation, so a tidy, unassuming appearance is recommended when visiting holy places.
• And most importantly, have fun!

Road Conditions and Safety:

In most of Nepal’s areas, roads are poorly maintained and lack safety features. Especially, hill roads are vulnerable to monsoon season resulting in blockades due to landslides and erosions. Such conditions cause significant numbers of accidents and fatalities. Traffic jam is a big problem faced by people in major cities. Various incidents of violation of traffic laws have been registered in Kathmandu and other major cities. Many drivers are not adequately trained and licensed yet to drive on the streets. Be aware and avoid getting into such a vehicle.

You should have an appropriate vehicle license to drive a two- or four-wheeler motor vehicle in Nepal. Otherwise, you will be punished according to traffic laws. We suggest you not expose yourself to problems during your stay in Nepal.

Nighttime Travel:

The streets outside the Kathmandu valley lack proper lights, and road conditions are not good. So it is safe if you avoid traveling during the night time out of Kathmandu.

Motorcycle Travel:

Know the speed limit for riding bikes and apply safety measures while riding a motorcycle in Nepal. Fatalities from motorcycle accidents have risen dramatically all over Nepal in recent years. Never forget to wear helmets and safety gear, and do not ride bikes carrying more than one person.

Buses:

If you need to travel via bus, we suggest you choose day rather than night buses due to abnormal road conditions in most rural areas. Long-distance travel can be exhausting, and you might want to hop onto the roofs of buses for some adventure. Never travel on dangerous ceilings to avoid accidents, and traffic police as roof travel are against traffic laws.

Taxis:

Although taxi rides are much more expensive than buses, they could be safer and more convenient. All taxis have a meter, but taxi drivers usually do not charge you based on the meter. You better negotiate taxi fare before you step onto their taxi; otherwise, you could be overcharged. If you feel like being cheated, contact freely to file a complaint to the traffic police on the street nearby or the local police station.

Pedestrian Travel:

You might not find a separate lane for pedestrians except a pedestrian bridge. Usually, a person should be careful enough to walk safely on the side of a road, follow zebra crossings, and use a pedestrian bridge to cross a busy highway. Otherwise, there are several cases of pedestrians facing traffic fatalities in Nepal.
