Questions travellers ask
Is July a good time to visit Lumbini & the Buddha's Nepal?
July is the wettest month, with heavy downpours, waterlogged fields and slow roads, especially on the Siddhartha Highway to Tansen and Pokhara, where landslides are common. Lumbini itself stays open and almost empty, and the monasteries are peaceful for meditation, with some centres running monsoon retreats. Outlying sites can be hard to reach after heavy rain. For a full circuit, wait until October.
