Know Before You Go

The Experience Nepal with Soft Adventure Tour can be enjoyed year-round, but the best seasons to visit are Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November).

During these months, the air is crisp and clean—freshly washed by the monsoon rains—offering spectacular, clear mountain views and comfortably warm weather.

Winter months bring colder temperatures, especially around Poon Hill where the temperature can drop to around 0°C (32°F), and Kathmandu experiences averages near 5°C (41°F); travelers should prepare for the chill.

The monsoon season (June to August) brings heavy rainfall, which can make heritage sites wet and roads slippery; travel is possible with extra caution and fewer tourists allow for a more peaceful experience.

The tour includes private tourist vehicles tailored to your group size for convenient travel.

Optional scenic 30-minute flights from Kathmandu to Chitwan, Lumbini, and Pokhara are available for a faster and breathtaking aerial experience.

Budget-friendly option: daily deluxe tourist buses depart at 7 AM from Kathmandu to all destinations; arrangements can be made to suit your comfort and budget.

Accommodations include comfortable 3-star boutique hotels and resorts in Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Chitwan, Lumbini, and Pokhara.

Accommodation preferences can be customized from standard guesthouses to luxury 5-star or 7-star hotels.

During trekking, guests stay in well-maintained local guesthouses that offer warmth, hospitality, and the charm of Himalayan village life.
