Best Time to Visit Nepal
Weather-wise, the best time for which tourists can book Nepal flights are the months from October to December as the skies are usually clear during these months. While January and February can be very cold but reward tourists with spectacular panoramas and serene trekking trails as there are fewer visitors during this period. Late spring is also a beautiful time to travel as the rhododendrons burst into bloom. During monsoon season in Nepal, clouds obscure the magnificent mountain views. It is advisable to book tickets in advance to get cheap flights to Nepal.
