Climate
and when to go:
Nepal's climate is dictated by the monsoon
which arrives in June and usually finishes
in late September. The monsoon brings
torrential rains that flood the rivers
so most people wouldn't want to rafting
at this time. Peak season for tourists
and for rafting is probably October
through November: the monsoon is over,
everything is very green, rivers are
moderately high but dropping, temperatures
are warm and skies are clear with fine
mountain views. The only disadvantages
with this time of year are that it is
the peak season and airline reservations
are harder to get; also you cannot be
sure when the monsoon will finish: it
can be a month late and this can throw
your plans into chaos if you are planning
on running a river where water levels
are critical - as they are on many of
Nepal's rivers. Tipsy
The winter months from late December
through to early February are cold,
but skies are still clear and river
levels will be low. Lots of river running
groups come out over Christmas and have
a great time, but you certainly should
expect cold water and perhaps think
in terms of wet suits and dry tops.
From late February through to early
April is also a good time for river
running - river levels are reliably
low, air temperature warm, rivers warm
and blue. The disadvantage is that the
air is often hazy: you cannot be assured
of stunning mountain views and there
may be an occasional shower of rain.
In the past, many kayakers and rafters
have visited Nepal over the Christmas
holiday, when the facts seem to suggest
that Easter might he a better time.
