Best Time for Wildlife Tour in Nepal
The best time or season for a wildlife tour in Nepal is the months of October and March. During these months, the weather remains warm and pleasant, giving you the best possible views on offer. Also, the park’s vegetation is less dense compared to other times. This allows you to view the animals easily during the jungle safaris or walks.
The average temperature during these months is also ideal; it ranges from 15°C to 25°C.
Spring Season
During the spring season, especially the months of March to June, the temperature remains much hotter and humid. This isn’t an ideal time to tour this area; the jungle walks are all muddy, and the animals’ visibility is also low.
Monsoon Season
During the monsoon season, there occurs heavy rainfall, making it extremely difficult to walk and see glimpses of animals. Not only that, but the heavy rainfall also leads to road blocks, landslides, and high chances of floods occurring, too.
So in comparison, the months of October and March are ideal in terms of weather conditions and easy accessibility to the park. On top of that, it also provides the best opportunity to see the exotic wild animals, including the Bengal tiger, leopards, etc.
