Nepal Travel tips during Eid holiday

Eid holiday falls in March or April which is the peak tourist season in Nepal. Plan your Nepal tour accordingly to avoid the crowd.

Choose the destinations off the main tourist hubs. Tourist hubs like Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara will be in high demand during this time. Visit Bardia national park, Koshi Tappu and small hill station towns like Daman, Bandipur, Tansen instead of tourist centers.

Avoid the classic trekking trails as much as possible. There are many off the beaten path treks like Khopra Ridge trek, Pikey peak trek, Three pass trek (Everest) and more.

Book your flight, accommodation and tour well in advance.
Prepare for mild rain or snow at higher altitude. There may also be thunderstorms and strong wind in the late afternoon. Start your day early to reach the destination before the weather comes in.
