The prime trekking seasons in Nepal are from March to April and October to November. October and November offer particularly clear skies and breathtaking views of the Himalayas, as the rainy season ends. However, these months are also the most crowded, so be prepared for more trekkers on popular routes.
• December to February: These months are cold, with snow at higher altitudes and some trekking lodges closed. If you trek during this period, extra preparation for the cold is necessary.
• March to May: As temperatures rise from March to May, trekkers can witness the vibrant bloom of rhododendrons across the mountains.
• June to September: The rainy season from mid-May to September brings wet conditions, making it challenging to enjoy the views of the Himalayas. During this time, leeches are also common, so trekkers should exercise caution.
The official Nepal Immigration Bureau allows for online visa applications. However, be cautious of fraudulent websites attempting to deceive applicants into paying fees upfront. Always ensure you’re using the official Nepal Immigration website for your visa application:
•Official Website: Nepal Immigration
•Online Application Portal: Visa Online Application
Apply online before arriving in Nepal. The visa fee is paid upon arrival, not in advance. The application is valid for 15 days after submission.
You can also apply for a visa directly at the airport upon arrival in Nepal.
Alternatively, you can obtain a visa from the nearest Nepalese embassy or consulate before your trip.
