DESTINATIONS, INDIAN SUBCONTINENT

Nepal.

The Himalayas are just the beginning.

Scroll

Nepal sits at the intersection of the ancient and the extraordinary. The Kathmandu Valley alone holds more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than many entire countries, medieval temple squares, living goddess traditions, and centuries of Newari artistry that has endured remarkably intact. Beyond the valley, Pokhara offers a serene lakeside counterpoint; Chitwan's dense lowland forests harbour rhinoceros and tiger; and the great Himalayan peaks, Everest, Annapurna, Langtang, rise with a scale that no photograph can adequately capture.

Nepal rewards those who look beyond the obvious, and for those who choose to walk in the mountains, we design private Himalayan journeys with the care, the quality, and the depth of knowledge the setting truly deserves.

Best time to visit

When to go

Kathmandu Valley

OCTOBER – NOVEMBER
MARCH – APRIL

Spring and autumn bring clear skies, comfortable temperatures, and the valley's most celebrated festivals, including Dashain and Tihar in autumn and Holi in spring.

Pokhara & Annapurna Region

OCTOBER – NOVEMBER
MARCH – MAY

The finest conditions for mountain views and trekking. Skies are clear, trails are at their best, and the Annapurna panorama is at its most dramatic.

Chitwan & the Terai Lowlands

OCTOBER – MARCH

The ideal window for wildlife. Cooler, drier months bring animals to the riverbanks and grasslands, making for excellent rhino and tiger sightings.

Everest Region

MARCH – MAY
OCTOBER – NOVEMBER

The two classic trekking windows, pre and post monsoon, offering the clearest mountain views and the most stable conditions on the high-altitude trails.

Langtang & Helambu

MARCH – MAY
SEPTEMBER – NOVEMBER

Spring brings spectacular rhododendron blooms across the hillsides; autumn offers crisp clarity and outstanding Himalayan views.

Upper Mustang

MAY – OCTOBER

One of Nepal's rare rain shadow regions, accessible and at its most compelling during the monsoon months, when the rest of the country is wet.

Lumbini

OCTOBER – MARCH

Comfortable temperatures for exploring the birthplace of the Buddha and the remarkable concentration of monasteries and sacred sites that surround it.
