April’s weather in detail
April is a popular month for visiting Nepal. The chilly nights of winter are confined to higher altitude locations and the more intense heat of summer is yet to arrive. Kathmandu is a warm 27°C and you'll be unlucky if you get caught in more than the occasional light shower. Trekkers arrive in higher numbers for the better weather, particularly those trekking the Annapurna circuit. Further south, in Chitwan National Park, migratory birds create spectacular bird watching opportunities . There's a definite change towards the end of the month when pre-monsoon rains begin to sweep up from India. There's more humidity in the air and the cities can feel a little sweaty.
