Questions travellers ask
Is March a good time to visit Rara & the Far West?
March brings warm, dry days to the Terai and the first good walking weather in the middle hills. Bardia and Shuklaphanta are excellent for tigers, rhinos and elephants as water sources shrink. Rhododendrons flower around Ramaroshan and on the lower slopes of Khaptad, and the lakes at Ramaroshan make a gentle 3–4 day trip from the Dhangadhi side. Higher up, Rara still has snow in shaded forest, and Jumla flights become steadier towards the end of the month.

Bardia 14 to 32 °C, dry; Ramaroshan 3 to 18 °C. Conditions change fast with altitude, so check the mountain forecast a few days before you travel.
