Nepal in May
May is not a good time to visit Nepal.
May is one of the warmest months of the year but will bring cloud and showers before the monsoon arrives. Late spring in May is a beautiful time to travel, with the rhododendrons bursting into bloom. Heat and humidity levels build, with temperatures climbing to 35°C in Chitwan National Park. Kathmandu : May, the last month of the spring in Kathmandu, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 28.7°C (83.7°F) and 15.7°C (60.3°F). In Kathmandu, the average high-temperature in May is relatively the same as in April - a still moderately hot 28.7°C (83.7°F).
