Nepal in August/September

Usually, the monsoon should end in Nepal by August; however, climate change can influence it, and the monsoon can stay in Nepal until the middle or last week of October. If you are considering travelling to Nepal in August or September, the temperatures will be quite warm. It can get as high as +28 degrees Celsius in Kathmandu during the day. If you are travelling to Nepal for a sightseeing tour, then Kathmandu and Pokhara offer you the best vibes with clear skies and green surroundings. Below is the list of travel tips for August/September in Nepal

Kathmandu and Pokhara Tour in August/September

After the monsoon rain, Kathmandu and Pokhara have fresh air and luscious surroundings. Most of the time, Kathmandu and Pokhara have numerous tourists from across the world, but August/September have fewer travellers, so if you want to spend your vacation in Nepal when there are fewer people, then August/September is the best time to immerse yourself in the diverse culture. For the Kathmandu-Pokhara tour, you do not need to pack many items, as the temperature remains quite warm; therefore, light packing that includes a waterproof jacket, trousers, a few t-shirts, underpants, medicines, and anti-mosquito spray will suffice for this trip. We advise you to take the flight transfer between Kathmandu-Pokhara-Kathmandu, as travelling by road is risky with the potential of a landslide. You can find more details about the plan on the page Kathmandu Pokhara Tour.
