The best time to embark on the 7 Days Kathmandu, Bandipur, Pokhara Tour is during Nepal's two main travel seasons: spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November).

During spring, the weather is mild, with clear skies and blooming rhododendrons in the hills, making it a great time to enjoy the scenic drives and visit spots like Bandipur and Sarangkot for stunning views of the Himalayas. Pokhara's lakeside also shines with pleasant weather, perfect for exploring the city and its natural attractions.

Autumn is considered the peak season for travel in Nepal, as the monsoon rains have cleared, leaving behind lush greenery and crystal-clear views of the mountains. This season is ideal for sightseeing, as the weather is cool and dry, ensuring a comfortable journey through Kathmandu, Bandipur, and Pokhara. You’ll experience perfect conditions for sunrise views at Sarangkot and boating on Phewa Lake.

Winter (December to February) is also a good option for those who don’t mind colder temperatures, especially for cultural exploration in Kathmandu and Bandipur, though Pokhara remains relatively warmer.

It’s best to avoid the monsoon season (June to August), as heavy rains can make travel difficult, especially for road journeys between destinations.
