Editorial snapshot
Flying to Kathmandu rewards the traveller who books early and stays flexible. Fares from Delhi or Singapore are short and relatively cheap; fares from Europe or Australia require a one-stop connection and benefit from booking eight to twelve weeks out. October and November are peak trekking season, so prices climb fast. This is a city for the curious, the budget-conscious, and anyone who wants altitude with their history.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
October and November are the sweet spot for Kathmandu: clear skies, ideal trekking conditions, and the Tihar festival lighting up the city. Avoid the June-to-August monsoon if you want reliable flights and dry streets. February and March offer a quieter, cheaper alternative with rhododendrons in bloom across the valley hills.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Mid | Medium | Cool and clear; good visibility for mountain views. |
| February | Budget | Low | Rhododendrons begin blooming; fewer crowds and lower fares. |
| March | Budget | Low | Spring trekking season opens; pleasant temperatures citywide. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Best overall month; warm days and the Nepali New Year festival. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Pre-monsoon heat builds; Everest Base Camp season peaks. |
| June | Budget | Low | Monsoon arrives; expect rain and possible flight disruptions. |
| July | Budget | Low | Heavy rainfall; lush green valley but muddy trekking trails. |
| August | Budget | Low | Monsoon continues; best fares of the year available now. |
| September | Mid | Medium | Monsoon eases; Indra Jatra festival draws local crowds. |
| October | Peak | High | Prime trekking season; Tihar festival lights the city. |
| November | Peak | High | Crystal-clear skies; most popular month, book well ahead. |
| December | Mid | Medium | Cool and dry; quieter than October-November with decent fares. |
