Nepal

Nepal is at Asia's crossroads. It extends from lush subtropical forest to high Himalayan peaks, from tiger habitat to precipitous snow leopard hunting areas, squeezed between India and Tibet. You may swelter in the shade of a banana palm in the morning and seek refuge from a snowfall in the afternoon by climbing the mountainside of one valley alone.

Between October and December, when the sky is crystal blue and the sights are stunning, is the best time to visit Nepal. Until approximately April, the weather stays dry, with temperatures ranging by location. Nepal has festivities all year long, thus there is always a festival or pilgrimage going on. Inquire with your specialist for further information, since the dates might vary from year to year.
