Pokhara's Climate

Pokhara lies in a valley in central Nepal, at the foot of the Annapurna range of the Himalayas at around 800 m, giving it a humid subtropical climate with some of the highest rainfall in the country. The south-west monsoon (June–September) unleashes intense rain that makes it one of Nepal's wettest cities, with heavy cloud that often hides the peaks, while winter (December–February) is dry, cool and clear, with days near 18–22°C and chilly nights. Spring and autumn are mild and dry, offering the clearest skies for viewing the snow-capped summits. Early mornings in the valley are frequently blanketed in fog.
