Best time to visit Kathmandu
October and November are generally the best time to visit Kathmandu, Nepal.

If you go to Kathmandu around September, you can face many kinds of problems because that time is the beginning of monsoon season.
The weather is dry till April when there is a good winter but Kathmandu does not freeze and sometimes the temperature drops to 0° so those who usually love winter can visit during this time. If you don’t like RB or want to travel during low season then you can go to Kathmandu between March to mid April or September as this is the best time to visit Nepal.
