Best Time for a Nepal Tour
Nepal can be visited throughout much of the year, but the experience changes by season.
October to November: Pleasant weather and popular for Himalayan views.
February to April: Comfortable weather, flowers and sightseeing.
December to January: Cold, especially in Kathmandu and Pokhara mornings and evenings.
June to September: Monsoon season. Green landscapes are beautiful, but rain can affect road travel.
For road tours, always allow some flexibility because mountain-road travel time can change due to traffic, weather and road conditions.
Documents for Indian Citizens Travelling to Nepal
Indian citizens do not require a visa to enter Nepal. Current Nepal immigration guidance says Indian adults can enter with a valid passport or voter ID; Nepal's airport immigration guidance also advises travelling with a passport where possible.
For children and special circumstances, document requirements should be checked before departure. Current immigration guidance specifically provides separate provisions for Indian minors.
Important: Do not rely only on Aadhaar as an international travel document for Nepal; Nepal Tourism Board's traveller guidance states that Aadhaar is not accepted as the required travel document for entry/exit.
Which Vehicle Is Suitable for a Nepal Road Trip?
Vehicle selection should depend on group size and luggage.
1–3 Travellers: Sedan / Dzire-type vehicle
4–6 Travellers: Ertiga / Innova
Family Groups: Innova Crysta / suitable SUV
Large Groups: Tempo Traveller
For hill routes, comfort and luggage capacity should be considered instead of selecting a vehicle only on price.
