The best times to visit Kathmandu are March to May and September to November, when the weather is clear, dry and ideal for sightseeing or starting treks into the Himalayas.
These seasons offer the best visibility for mountain views and comfortable daytime temperatures.
Avoid June to August as Monsoon rains can disrupt travel plans, while winter months (December to February) despite being cooler and less crowded, can be hazy.
