Kathmandu Weather


Kathmandu's weather and temperature varies widely according to the season, with very cold and harsh winters and mostly cool summers. The area's high elevation, around 1300 meters, means that it never quite gets as warm as other locations at the same latitude.

There are four main types of weather in Kathmandu: hot and muggy, hot and rainy, balmy and clear and just plain chilly. In the shoulder seasons of October-November and March-April views are clear, temperatures are warm without being oppressive and rain showers are brief and refreshing.

November to February is also clear and dry but often cold, especially after dark. The period is fairly chilly and lasts until February. The city's climate is fairly mild and is perfect for holidaymakers. The minimum Temperature during the winters hovers around 0°C in Kathmandu

Visitors generally come to the city during the summer months, when they can best enjoy the city's attractions and historic sites. However, some people are attracted to the region during the winter months for its skiing and snowboarding.
