Nepal (尼泊尔) is famous as “the kingdom of snow mountains” on earth. It’s well worth visiting. So when is the best time to visit Nepal?
Mount Qomolangma is the highest mountain on earth, and part of it lies in the north of Nepal, while Terai Plain (德赖平原) is the lowest point with an average altitude (海拔) of 150 - 300 meters. For such a huge altitude drop, you will see five seasons in Nepal: autumn, winter, spring, summer and the monsoon (雨季).
The autumn months of October and November are considered the perfect time for adventure tours in Nepal. You can also enjoy Dashain Festival, a 15 - day - long and the most colorful festival in Nepal.
The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal. There you will get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as Bengal tigers and elephants. During the spring, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking and adventure tours. You can also enjoy some popular festivals, like the Nepalese New Year in April.
May, however, pushes the temperature a bit higher. The real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. It begins to rain from mid - June to September. You can expect around 3 hours of rain every day during this season.
