Nepal and Tibet are both Himalayan countries and once were closed to outsiders.

There are no other cities in the world that have an ambiance as unusual as this one, which makes it truly unique. In the first half, while in Nepal, this trip will take you across some of the tourist sensations of Kathmandu Valley like the sacred Pashupatinath temple, Boudhanath Stupa, and antique pieces like Patan Durbar Square and Bhaktapur Durbar Square, etc. Not only cultural and historical insight but you will get a chance to soak in nature by walking through the jungles and observing the sunrise & sunset views while you are touring Nepal for Nepal Tibet 8 days tour.

Best Time to do the 8 Days Nepal Tibet Tour

For the 8 days tour in Nepal and Tibet, any time of the year would be great. However, the shoulders seasons to journey through these Himalayan nations together are spring and autumn. Spring starts in March and lasts till April in hilly and lower lands of Nepal while in Tibet, spring starts in late March as it is located at a higher altitude. The skies are clear, the weather is stable and the temperatures are pretty much pleasant during the spring months making your journey hurdle free from problems related to nature. 

Summer is considered the ideal time for Tibet Vacation but is off-season in Nepal, especially for adventurous journeys in Nepal including trekking and hiking because summer is also the monsoon. As our 8 days, Nepal Tibet Tour includes a day hike to one of the hill stations, it can be quite hard to walk through the wet slippery trails, and would not be fun if our views are obstructed. However, if prepared well and wants to experience the thrill, you can definitely sign up. 

The autumn breeze is loved by everyone. The laid-back days with clear blue skies, not too scorching heat, and the most pleasant temperature throughout the year are the reasons to make autumn the best time to visit Nepal and Tibet, separately as well as together. The travelers are happiest to travel during this season. 

Winter is perfect for a winter person but for others, it is off-season. Generally, winter is considered off-season both in Nepal and Tibet for tourism because of the harsh cold weather and dropping temperatures. The days are short but are sunny, perfect for city sightseeing. And as this trip focuses on Kathmandu and Lhasa, winter can be a good time to make the trip if you are on a budget because discounts are offered and the sites are not flocked with tourists.
