The perfect time for scenic and romantic views.

Nepal looks beautiful in every season, but some seasons are more suitable for couples:

Spring – February to April

During this season, you'll find lush greenery along the roads, clear weather, and unobstructed views of the Himalayas. This is also the best time to watch the sunrise from Sarangkot.

Winter – October to January

Cool breeze, cozy hotel stays, warm coffee, and clear mountain views – what could be better for a couple's trip! Especially in December-January, the weather in Pokhara and Kathmandu creates a truly romantic atmosphere.

Summer – May to June

Mild temperatures, ideal weather for cable car rides, and boating.

Monsoon – July to September

Nepal's natural beauty is enhanced during the rainy season, but there is a risk of landslides or slippery roads during road trips, so it's better to avoid this season.

Which months should be avoided?

• Months with heavy rainfall (July–August)

• Festival days with extreme crowds at temples (if privacy is a priority)
