Questions travellers ask
Is April a good time to visit Rara & the Far West?
April is the one month when both halves of the region work well. In Bardia, tigers come to the last pools and river channels, and sightings peak despite midday heat near 37 °C. In the hills, flights to Talcha and Jumla settle into a regular pattern, the trek from Jumla to Rara opens, and Khaptad's meadows dry out. The Nepali New Year in mid-April brings domestic visitors to Rara, so lodges fill. Limi and the high Humla passes are still snowbound.
What is the weather like in Rara & the Far West in April?
Rara 0 to 15 °C; Bardia 20 to 37 °C, hot and dry. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
