Nepal has a typical
monsoonal two-season year. There's the dry season from October to May and
there's the wet season, the monsoon, from June to September.
September-November, the start of the dry season, is in many ways the best
time of year in Nepal. With the monsoon only recently finished, the
country-side is green and lush. Nepal is at its most beautiful and there are
some colorful festivals to enjoy.
