The best time to travel to Nepal starts in early October and lasts until the end of April. May is relatively hot. From mid-June to the end of September is the rainy, humid, and hot monsoon season in which the leeches become active. Often it only rains at night.

While autumn (September to the end of November) is warm and pleasant in the middle of the highlands, winter (mid-December to mid-February) can get quite cold at night, and even uncomfortably cold in the high Bhotiya and Sherpa villages. High passes then snow up. The Terai lowland is suitable for a stay in winter (warm during the day, somewhat cool at night), where it gets very hot in summer. Winter brings night temperatures of 0 ° C in Kathmandu (1300m.), while during the day, as soon as the morning fog clears,  The clearest view is from October to December when it rains for a few days. October, November, March, April, and May are good trekking months, especially the second half of October and March. In mid-October, everything is still green from the monsoon, and in March nature is in full bloom.
