What is special to see in Nepal in each season?Spring (March to May) is for rhododendron blooms, warm valleys and busy trails.
Where and when can I see rhododendrons in Nepal?The rhododendron is Nepal's national flower and it blooms from about March to May, starting at lower elevations and moving up the slopes.
Why is autumn the best season for mountain views?After the monsoon, the air is washed clean, humidity is low and the skies are clear, so mountain views are at their sharpest in October and November.
Where are the best winter viewpoints?Winter brings very clear mornings and snow on the high ridges.
What is good about Nepal in the monsoon?In monsoon, hills turn deep green, rice terraces fill with water and rivers run high.
Which lakes and rivers change most with the seasons?Rivers swell in monsoon and shrink in winter, so rafting is best in the post-monsoon and spring windows.
Where can I see wildflowers and flower valleys?Spring brings blossom across the hills, while high meadows bloom in monsoon.
What festivals and events happen in Pokhara?Pokhara has a lively events calendar.
