    Packages that work in November

    Four seasons

    Nepal's seasons in brief

    Oct – Nov

    Autumn

    Dry after the monsoon, with the clearest mountain views of the year. Peak season for treks and heli tours, and the time of Dashain and Tihar. Book lodges, flights and helicopters early.

    Mar – May

    Spring

    Warmer days and rhododendrons in flower on the Annapurna and Langtang trails. The second trekking season; haze builds in the lowlands by May. Hot in Chitwan and Lumbini.

    Dec – Feb

    Winter

    Cold nights above 3,000 m and snow on the high passes, but clear, quiet trails lower down. A good time for Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini, and for short treks such as Poon Hill.

    Jun – Sep

    Monsoon

    Rain most afternoons, cloud on the peaks, leeches in the forests and flight delays to Lukla. Upper Mustang and Dolpo lie in the rain shadow, and the Kailash yatra season runs through these months.

    Month by month

    Where to go in each month

    Travelling around a festival

    Dashain, Tihar, Holi, Buddha Jayanti and the mask dances follow the lunar calendar, so their dates move each year. Our festival calendar lists them month by month.
