Nepal is for all seasons; however, Spring (March, April and May) and Autumn (September, October and November) remain two important seasons for the tourists’ outdoor activities throughout the country. Due to the sunny and warm weather, clear visibility, lush green of the vegetation, and the blossoming of the flowers, notably the rhododendron; the national flower of Nepal, spring is the excellent time for undertaking all kinds of activities and adventures, especially trekking, rafting and mountain climbing. You will found many varieties of rhododendron in Nepal. The rhododendrons here are unique in their sizes compare to others found in elsewhere.

Mar 16, 2017- The National Geographic has put Pokhara, the Lake City, of Nepal on its list of Best Spring Trips 2017. The UK-based popular travel publication with a theme ‘Hit a travel high in the beauty of this Himalayan city’ has described Pokhara as a hidden gem for adventurous travellers.  “Soaring over the Pokhara City delivers adrenaline-junkie Himalaya views without the hiking,” it said. Pokhara, a gateway to Nepal’s Annapurna region, is considered one of the world’s top spots for paragliding due, in part, to jaw-dropping views of glaciers, lakes, and snow-covered peaks, it said. No experience is required to ride on a sunrise paragliding tandem flight. One can enjoy Cloud Buster (20- to 30-minute) flight, cross-country tour (45- to 60-minute) and spinning-and-spiraling acrobatic flight in Pokhara. Before launching from Sarangkot (2,000 feet above the Pokhara Valley), snap a pic of Pokhara’s majestic mountain triple crown—26,795-foot Dhaulagiri, 26,0...

March 9, 2017: The Cho-La Pass at Khumjung in Solukhumbu is becoming riskier in lack of adequate infrastructure. There are not even arrow boards showing directions in this area which is covered with snow year round, due to which foreign tourists lose way and their life. The Cho-La Pass is on the way to the Mt Everest base camp from the Gokyo lake, one of the famous tourist area in Solukhumbu district. Located at an altitude of 5,420 metres from the mean sea level, Cho-La Pass is considered one of the most risky in the district. More, the trail leading to the pass is not in good condition. Tourism entrepreneur Mingmar Sherpa stated that there is no trace of the trail on the snowfield as the topography keeps on changing due to the annual global warming. The route in the area has become more treacherous due to the glacier melting and the formation of glacial lakes and crevasses, he added. Some of the foreign trekkers and climbers visiting through the Cho-La Pass have gone mis...

Nepal is of roughly trapezoidal shape, 800 kilometres (497 mi) long and 200 kilometres (124 mi) wide, with an area of 147,181 sq km (56,827 sq mi). It lies between latitudes 26° and 31°N, and longitudes 80° and 89°E. Nepal is commonly divided into three physiographic areas: Mountain, Hill and Terai. These ecological belts run east-west and are vertically intersected by Nepal's major, north to south flowing river systems. Terai , the southern lowland plains bordering India are part of the northern rim of the Indo-Gangetic plains. They were formed and are fed by three major Himalayan rivers: the Kosi, the Narayani, and the Karnali as well as smaller rivers rising below the permanent snowline. This region has a subtropical to tropical climate. The outermost range of foothills called Shiwalik or Churia Range cresting at 700 to 1,000 metres (2,297 to 3,281 ft) marks the limit of the Gangetic Plain, however broad, low valleys called Inner Terai lie north of these foothills ...
