The sovereign independent Kingdom of Nepal lies between 80 deg 15’ -88 deg 15’ East Longitude and 26 deg 20’- 30 deg 10’ North Latitude. It is bounded on the north by the Tibet Region of the People’s Republic China, on the east by Sikkim and West Bengal (India) and on the south and west by the Indian States of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. The length of the Kingdom is approx 880 kms east-west, and its breadth varies from 144 to 240 kms north-south. It lies in the temperate zone with the added advantage of altitude. Expect for the Tarai on the south, even the valleys, with some exceptions, are seldom less than four thousand feet above sea-level. All this adds up to one significant conclusion: There is no seasonal limitation to travel in and through Nepal. Even in December and January, when the winter is at its severest, there are compensations bright sun and brilliant views. Winter days may begin in mist which can last until noon, and then disappearing fog brings the view of snowy white peaks against the clear blue sky.Nepal’s climate varies with its geography. The temperature get cooler in proportion with altitude, higher altitude has cooler temperature then the lower. So ranges from tropical to arctic depend upon the attitude. The Terai region, which lies in the tropical southern part of the country, for instance, has a hot, humid climate. The mid-land regions are pleasant almost all year around, although winter nights are cool. The northern mountain region, around an altitude above 3,353 meters has an alpine climate with a considerably lower temperature in winter as can be expected.
Nepal has four climatic seasons:
a. Spring: From March – May. b. Summer: June - August.
c. Autumn: September – November. d. Winter: December - February.
All seasons are good for travelling, each has its own particular charm.The best time for the tourist to visit Nepal avoiding the rainfalls will be from August to February.
