When Are The Best Times To Book?

The peak season for tourism in Nepal is the autumn season (September to November). During this time, the weather is pleasant, and the skies are clear, offering stunning views of the mountains.

However, if you prefer to avoid crowds and don't mind cooler temperatures, you can consider booking this tour during the winter months (December to February). The skies are clear, and the views of the mountains are breathtaking, although the temperatures can be chilly.

On the other hand, the monsoon season (June to August) is not recommended for this cycling tour due to the heavy rains. It can make the roads muddy and slippery, and the views of the mountains are often obscured by clouds.
