Best time to visit in Pokhara

The best time to visit Pokhara is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons, which offer the most pleasant weather, with clear skies, mild temperature, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains including the Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, Machhapuchare, and other peak. This season is perfect for trekking, hiking, paragliding, and exploring the city. Spring brings vibrant blooming flowers, while autumn is ideal for trekking with crisp air and dry conditions. These seasons are also the most popular among the tourist, so Pokhara’s natural beauty is at its best, and many outdoor activities like Paragliding, trekking, and boating are in full swing. Avoiding the monsoon (June to August) is recommended, as heavy rains can disrupt travel plans and obscure mountain views.
