Questions travellers ask
Good to know
Is April a good time to visit Nepal?
April brings the rhododendron forests to full colour around Ghorepani and Poon Hill, and the Everest trails are at their busiest. Bisket Jatra in Bhaktapur marks the Nepali New Year in mid-April with chariot pulling in Taumadhi Square. The Terai heats up fast, so wildlife drives keep to early morning and late afternoon. Buddha Jayanti sometimes falls at the end of the month, depending on the lunar calendar.
What is the weather like in Nepal in April?
Kathmandu 11–28 °C, warm, afternoon showers possible. Conditions differ by altitude and coast, so check the forecast for each stop a week before you travel.
Where should we go in Nepal in April?
We suggest Bhaktapur, Annapurna Foothills, Everest Region (Khumbu). Reserve Lukla flights and Khumbu lodges well ahead for April, the busiest month on the trail.
