Nepal travel tips during Ramadan and Eid Holiday
- The last week of March through the third week of April marks the peak tourist season for Nepal. To steer clear of the crowds, it is advisable to plan your trip to Nepal accordingly.
- Make sure to secure your flight, accommodation, and tour arrangements well in advance.
- Opt for destinations that are not part of the main tourist hubs. Popular spots such as Kathmandu, Chitwan, and Pokhara tend to be in high demand during the Ramadan and Eid holidays.
- Consider exploring Bardia National Park, Koshi Tappu, and quaint hill station towns like Daman, Bandipur, and Tansen.
- It is recommended to avoid the traditional trekking routes. There are numerous lesser-known trekking paths such as Khopra Ridge Trek, Pikey Peak Trek, Three Pass Trek (Everest), and more.
- Be prepared for light rain or snow at higher elevations, along with the possibility of thunderstorms and strong winds in the late afternoon. To avoid adverse weather conditions, start your day early to reach your destination on time.
