Questions travellers ask
Is February a good time to visit Rara & the Far West?
February opens the best tiger season. From late January park staff cut and burn the tall grass in Bardia and Shuklaphanta, so animals become easier to see, and days are warm without the heat of April. Swamp deer herds gather on Shuklaphanta's open phanta. Nepalgunj is pleasant for a night stop, with cool evenings for the bazaar and Bageshwari Temple. The hills are still cold: Rara and Khaptad lie under snow and flights to Talcha and Simikot remain irregular.
What is the weather like in Rara & the Far West in February?
Bardia 10 to 26 °C, dry with clear afternoons; Jumla −5 to 12 °C. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
