Nepal in November

November is a good time to visit Nepal, though not the very best.

Good time High season

October and November are two of the best months to visit as dry days make trekking easier and offer good visibility. The verdant landscapes following the rains are ideal for photographers. The best time to visit Nepal is between October and December, when the skies are a clear blue and the views spectacular. The weather remains dry until about April, with temperatures varying between regions.Kathmandu : The last month of the autumn, November, is also a moderately hot month in Kathmandu, Nepal, with temperature in the range of an average high of 23.6°C (74.5°F) and an average low of 7.8°C (46°F).
