Tours to Nepal

Nepal owes its timeless appeal to a unique blend of majestic natural landscapes, deep spiritual traditions, and colorful local culture. Snow-capped mountains, serene lakes, ancient stupas, and vibrant festivals exist side by side with boutique hotels, lively restaurants, and friendly tea houses. A holiday in Nepal gives you the chance to push your limits or simply unwind, all while soaking up authentic local life. While Hinduism and Buddhism are the dominant religions, Nepal is known for its incredible tolerance and welcoming spirit.

 

General Information

Nepal is a landlocked country in South Asia, nestled between India and China (Tibet), and home to eight of the world’s ten highest peaks — including Mount Everest. The capital, Kathmandu, is a lively city rich with historic temples, bustling markets, and UNESCO World Heritage sites. Nepali is the official language, but English is widely spoken in hotels, trekking lodges, and tourist areas.

Direct flights from New Delhi to Kathmandu take just 1.5 hours, making Nepal an easy and quick getaway for Indian travelers. From Kathmandu, you can catch domestic flights or take scenic drives to popular spots like Pokhara, Chitwan, and Lumbini.

Nepal’s top tourist hubs — Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, and Everest/Annapurna regions — cater to all budgets. Visitors can stay in luxurious heritage hotels, lakeside resorts, cozy boutique stays, or charming mountain lodges, many of which offer yoga, meditation, and spa treatments.

 

Climate

Nepal’s climate varies dramatically by altitude, ranging from tropical in the lowlands to alpine in the high Himalayas.

• The best times to visit are spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) when the skies are clear, the weather is pleasant (around 18–25°C in the valleys), and mountain views are at their best.

• The monsoon season (June–August) brings heavy rains and lush green landscapes, but can cause travel disruptions in the hills.

• Winter (December–February) is chilly, especially in the mountains, but perfect for cultural sightseeing in the Kathmandu Valley and wildlife spotting in Chitwan.
