Nepal in August
August is not a good time to visit Nepal.
The monsoon season arrives in June and lasts until the end of August, with the clouds obscuring the glorious mountain views. The heavy rain and landslides make travel difficult and many places close down, so the country is best avoided at this time. The monsoon season occurs from June through to August. Days are warm (up to 30°C), wet and with high humidity. Due to Nepal's topography, rains often occur at night, resulting in beautiful morning scenery. Although we'd advise against trekking at this time of year, city sightseeing is still possible and quieter than peak periods. Kathmandu : The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in Kathmandu, Nepal, with an average temperature varying between 28.7°C (83.7°F) and 20°C (68°F). In August, the average high-temperature is relatively the same as in July - a still warm 28.7°C (83.7°F).
