Getting Around

Nepal Airlines and several private companies offer domestic air services. Public buses play almost every paved road and some unpaved ones too but they are incredibly uncomfortable, tediously slow and sometimes among others chicken and goats may be your co-passenger. There are however, few services between Kathmandu and Pokhara, Chitwan aimed specifically at tourists, which has acceptable comfort & timely. There are no trains and no drive-yourself rental cars in Nepal. Cars with drivers can be hired.

Local transport in the Kathmandu Valley and around Pokhara includes metered and un metered taxis, buses, auto-rickshaws, bicycle rickshaws and bicycles.

When to Go It is difficult to generalize the climate and best time to visit Nepal due to altitude variation. In the main October-November is the start of the dry season and is in many ways the best time of year: the weather is balmy, the air is clean, visibility is perfect and the country is lush following the monsoon. February-April, the tail end of the dry season, is the second-best period: visibility is not so good because of dust, but the weather is warm and many of Nepal's wonderful wild flowers are in bloom. In December and January the climate and visibility are good but it can be chilly and discouraged from trekking. The rest of the year is fairly unpleasant for traveling: May and early June are generally too hot and dusty for comfort, and the monsoon from mid-June to September obscures the mountains in cloud and turns trails and roads to mud.
