When is the best time to go to Kathmandu?
The best time to visit Kathmandu is during the spring months of March to May, with April being particularly favored. During this period, temperatures range from the mid-60s to low 80s Fahrenheit, creating a comfortable climate for exploring the city's rich cultural heritage and stunning landscapes. The pleasant weather allows for delightful outdoor activities, such as visiting the iconic Swayambhunath Stupa (also known as the Monkey Temple) or taking leisurely strolls through the historic Thamel district.

As you plan your journey, keep in mind that the peak tourist season typically falls between September and November, coinciding with the post-monsoon period. This is when the skies clear, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Himalayas. However, spring is a wonderful time to experience blooming flora and fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed atmosphere as you explore the local markets and enjoy the vibrant street life.

For those who appreciate cultural events, April often hosts various festivals such as Biska Jatra, where you can witness traditional celebrations and engage with the local community. This adds a unique layer to your visit, enhancing your experience with the rich traditions of Nepalese culture.

If you're looking for a potentially more budget-friendly time to visit, consider March, when travel costs may be lower. This month still offers favorable weather and a chance to enjoy the beauty of Kathmandu without the peak crowds.
