The monsoon in Nepal traditionally starts in June and lasts until August every year. It's a great time to visit—if you want to have the best of nature and the finest traveling experience in Nepal. You'll see spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and the mountains will be clearer than ever before.
If you’re looking to travel Nepal in and around the monsoon, here’re a few things that you can enjoy doing during the monsoon season.
Relish the mountain views:
When it rains in the city, it washes away the dullness of nature. The mountains, however, remain cloudy due to the high elevation. Once the rain ceases, the clouds dissipate and the sky becomes clearer. You can see this phenomenon at Nagarkot and Pokhara, Nepal's two highest points for viewing mountain peaks.
Observe the greenery:
If you're a nature lover, come back after the rains have cleared and see how much greener everything looks. You can also try this in Pokhara and Nagarkot. The greenery after the rains are just that beautiful to look at.
Trek To Mustang Region:
Before you dismiss trekking to Upper Mustang in the monsoon season, hear us out. The land topography is not slippery or slanted, and there is no threat of avalanches during this time period. In fact, the rain shadows will double your fun during this trek because you'll get to look around at all the vibrancy that surrounds you.
Hop on a jungle safari:
Monsoons don’t mean constant rain. Little droplets of rain won’t cause much harm, but the best part about a jungle safari is that you don’t have to walk around. One option is elephant safaris in Chitwan National Park. You can look around in a jeep or ride an elephant and stay overnight at a lodge located in the middle of the jungle where you can rest and relish bird watching animal viewing.
Try Adventure Activities in Pokhara:
When the skies are clear after the rain, you can see Mt. Everest and other mountain ranges as well as the Pokhara Lake—and your jaw will drop. You can hop on a paragliding, hot air balloon ride, zip line tour, ultra-light flight, boat ride or kayaking excursion in Pokhara to see things from a great height.
