Nepal Kathandum Pokhara Chitwan 9 Days Itinerary with Adventure Nature Wildlife Culture

This will be my first away trip for Christmas and New Year. Can you fantasize the cool winter (although no snow) with me cloak up, sitting on the mountain observing the world? Awesome right? Is that on your bucket list? I am here to share my trip and hopefully lighten your apprehension about Nepal.

Nepal is home to 8 of the 14 highest peaks in the world. One of the key attractions of traveling to Nepal is to take in stunning views of these Himalayan giants.

Himalyan giants such as Mount Everest, Annapurna, Ama Dablam and Machapuchare.

It will be an exciting 9 Days and 8 nights at exotic Nepal.

Best time to travel:
Between September and November and between March and May are the best times to visit Nepal. The temperature is bearable, the rain won’t ruin your plans and the mountains should be beautifully clear on your treks.
Nepal has a typical monsoonal climate with spring, summer, autumn and winter as its four main seasons. It experiences heavy monsoonal rains from June to September, clear and cool weather from the month of October to December and January to March, and dry weather from April to June.
(My trip was Xmas to New Year, late Dec to early Jan. Weather was cool. No mosquitos. Trekking was great for us below 3000m. May risk of not having clear sky of mountain view. Ours was awesome)

Transport:
Within Kathmandu taxi is plenty and cost around 400-700rs.
