Travel Information: Nepal

Climate & Geography

Nepal’s geography ranges from tropical lowlands to the icy peaks of the Himalayas. Spring (March-May) and Autumn (September-November) are ideal for travel, offering clear skies and moderate temperatures. Winters (December–February) are cold in the hills, while summers (June-August) bring lush greenery with monsoon showers.

From the Terai plains to the majestic Himalayas, Nepal’s natural diversity is one of its biggest draws - offering adventure, wildlife, and stunning scenery.

History & Culture

With a history stretching back thousands of years, Nepal is a treasure trove of culture and heritage. Once a series of independent kingdoms, Nepal unified in the 18th century and is today a secular Himalayan nation known for its Buddhist and Hindu harmony.

The country’s architecture, festivals, and daily life reflect a deep respect for tradition and spirituality. Pagoda-style temples, stupas, palaces, and vibrant city squares offer endless opportunities for cultural exploration.

Festivals in Nepal

Nepal's festivals are colorful, spiritual, and deeply woven into its daily life:

  • Dashain: The biggest Hindu festival, celebrated over 15 days with family gatherings, blessings, and animal sacrifices symbolizing good over evil.
  • Tihar: Also known as the Festival of Lights, it honors crows, dogs, cows, and siblings with lights, flowers, and rituals.
  • Buddha Jayanti: A sacred day celebrating the birth of Lord Buddha - marked by processions, offerings, and prayers across Buddhist sites.
  • Holi: The festival of colors, celebrated with vibrant powders, music, and joyous street celebrations.

These festivals are not just events - they’re deep expressions of Nepal’s spiritual and social fabric.

Flavors of Nepal

Nepali cuisine is flavorful, simple, and heavily influenced by Indian, Tibetan, and local hill cultures.

  • Dal Bhat: A traditional meal of lentil soup served with rice, vegetables, pickles, and optional meat curry - a daily staple.
  • Momo: Steamed dumplings filled with meat or vegetables, served with tangy dipping sauces - a beloved street food.
  • Sel Roti: A deep-fried rice flour ring, slightly sweet and crispy, commonly enjoyed during festivals.
  • Thukpa: A warm noodle soup, especially popular in mountainous regions.
  • Newari Cuisine: A unique variety of spiced meats, beaten rice, and local specialties - found in and around Kathmandu Valley.

Pair your meal with Nepali tea or locally brewed Raksi (rice wine) for a full traditional experience.

Top Places to Visit in Nepal

Kathmandu Valley

The cultural and spiritual heart of Nepal, the Kathmandu Valley is a treasure trove of history, art, and architecture. The city of Kathmandu itself buzzes with life - explore the majestic Durbar Square, marvel at the all-seeing eyes of the Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), visit the sacred Pashupatinath Temple, and walk the peaceful circle around the Boudhanath Stupa, one of the largest in the world. Every corner tells a story of ancient civilizations and living heritage.

Pokhara

Surrounded by hills and mirrored by lakes, Pokhara is Nepal’s most scenic and relaxing getaway. Nestled beside the tranquil Phewa Lake, it’s a haven for adventure lovers and peace seekers alike. Enjoy paragliding, boating, or just soak in views of Machapuchare (Fishtail Peak). Popular attractions include Davis Falls, Mahendra Cave, and the hilltop World Peace Pagoda. It’s also the gateway to the Annapurna trekking circuit.

Lumbini

Regarded as the birthplace of Lord Buddha, Lumbini is a major spiritual destination and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors are welcomed by the sacred Maya Devi Temple, ancient ruins, and a peaceful monastic zone built by Buddhist communities from around the world. With its calm gardens and spiritual ambiance, Lumbini is perfect for reflection and cultural immersion.

Chitwan National Park

Situated in the lush Terai lowlands, Chitwan National Park offers one of the best wildlife experiences in Asia. Go on a thrilling jeep safari or canoe ride to spot one-horned rhinos, wild elephants, gharial crocodiles, and, if lucky, even a Bengal tiger. The park is also rich in birdlife and offers opportunities for elephant bathing, village tours, and Tharu cultural experiences.

Nagarkot

Just an hour’s drive from Kathmandu, Nagarkot is a peaceful hilltop village offering breathtaking views of the Himalayan range, including Mt. Everest on clear days. It’s a favorite spot for sunrise photography, nature walks, and a relaxing break from the city. Ideal for couples, families, and anyone who enjoys tranquility with a view.

Everest Region (Khumbu)

For trekkers and mountaineers, the Everest Region is the ultimate destination. Explore Namche Bazaar, the vibrant Sherpa town at the base of the mountains, walk through Sagarmatha National Park, and follow the world-famous trail to Everest Base Camp. With dramatic landscapes, fluttering prayer flags, and the towering presence of the Himalayas, this region is both physically challenging and spiritually uplifting.
