Best Time to Travel-Pashupatinath Tour
Overall, exploring and visiting Nepalis all around is possible. As per several factors traveling in Spring and Autumn will be most favorable:
Spring (March to May): Spring in Kathmandu is a lively and beautiful time because the weather is mild and flowers are growing. The temperature will be nearly 20 to 25 degrees, which will be favorable.
It is a good time to visit the temple and also for the adventure journey. Also, the holiday of Maha Shivaratri, which brings in a lot of worshippers, is usually held in February or March. This adds to the temple’s cultural vibrancy.
Autumn (September to November): Autumn is Nepal’s and Kathmandu’s busiest time for tourists. The sky will be clear, and the temperature is between 15 – 25 degrees When the sky is clear, you can see the beautiful Himalayan hills all around you.
The season is the perfect way to travel and explore the different destinations of Nepal. Dashain and Tihar, two important festivals that happen in the fall, add to the cultural importance of the area and make for more parties.
It’s important to know that you can visit Pashupatinath Temple at any time of the year, but there may be some things to keep in mind:
Monsoon: During the rainy season, which lasts from June to August, it rains a lot in Nepal. When it rains, it can be hard to go outside, and the river levels can rise, which can change the way people cremate their dead along the Bagmati River. During this season, the number of travelers you will see on the trail. If you don’t mind the rain and like things to be quieter, this time of year can still be interesting.
Winter Season (December to February): During the winter, temperatures in Kathmandu can drop as low as 5 degrees Celsius or even lower. But if you can handle the colder weather, winter has days that are clear and crisp and make it easy to see. During this time of year, the temple and the area around it aren’t as busy, so you can enjoy a more peaceful time there.

Bob HopeAugust 27, 2024Verified Absolutely top agency! Namaste! We (a tour group of 3) took an 18-day tour with Blue Lake Travels (BLT) this year in May. Through the agency we were provided with a jeep with driver (Depesh) and an English-speaking guide (Shiva). Our 1. Week led us towards Manang. The preparation on the part of BLT was spotless, the accommodations on the route were perfectly organized, short-term changes or adjustments were implemented without any problems. Our driver should also be commended at this point, who has experienced the so-called roads in the Nepalese highlands knows what I am talking about. Our guide had profound knowledge of the respective regions and tried to read every wish from our lips. The 2. Week we travelled from Kathmandu to Mt. Kailash in Tibet (China). Entry restrictions to China and related formalities remain very high, but thanks to BLT, everything was organized in advance. Thanks again for that. Back in Kathmandu we used the last day for a sightseeing tour. The guide provided by BLT had very good historical knowledge and guided us through the capital. Special thanks go to Mr. Manahari Dahal, who supported us throughout the pre-planning of the trip and took care of us personally in Kathmandu. This trip will forever be remembered as an unforgettable experience. Tobi AAugust 6, 2024Verified Mera Peak Trek The support of this company, especially from Mr. Manahari was excellence.
