Climate of Nepal is various and unique. Except Nepal, there is not such place on the planet what would combine on such a small area such a great variety of climate belts: from subtropical jungles, coverings the valleys in the south of the country, to the tundra area and eternal glaciers of the Himalayan tops in the north of the country. The best tourism season in Nepal is September-November and March-April. A monsoon starts in May and lasts till September, resulting in a cloudy rainy weather. From October till April the precipitations level is close to a zero.

Kathmandu is elevated 1300m above the sea level, likewise Cairo or Florida. In the fall-time the climate is soft, comfortable and warm (20-26°С at the daytime). In Pokhara down south, the temperatures are several degrees higher (23-29°С), the water in the lake is clean and warm. Down south in Chitwan National Park in Sauraha the climate is much warmer and softer. Fall is the best time to visit Himalayan region since after the monsoon the air is clean, no dust, smog or clouds that cover the mountain tops.

In the beginning of September the climate is just like in Alps +10-20°С at the day time, and rather chilly at the night time down to 0- -5°С
