Best time for the Kirtipur Day Tour

It so happens that the Kirtipur Day Tour can take place at any time of the year, as Nepal is generally considered moderate in terms of temperature, and Kirtipur is closer to Kathmandu.

However, the spring and autumn seasons are considered the best times for the tour. During these time periods, the skies will be clear, the weather will be pleasant, and the Kathmandu Valley looks most picturesque from certain landmarks such as Uma Maheshwar Temple.

Spring is a time of flower blooms, and this beautifies the environment; autumn features cool air and is one of the best times for photo shoots.

If you hate crowds, then winter is the best option-which falls in December, January, and February-and the weather is pretty cool.

If you wish, the monsoon can also be considered, which starts from June, going onto August, but the rain may come any time and the pathways slip, which affects the facility a bit.
