A vacation in Nepal in February will appeal to those who prefer cool, dry weather. In Kathmandu and Bharatpur you can explore ancient shrines at temperatures of +17-19°C.
The weather in Chitwan National Park, where you can take a canoe ride on the river or ride elephants, is about the same. In Pokhara, on the other hand, the temperature barely reaches the +10°C mark. In the mountains, of course, it's even colder, with sub-zero temperatures at altitude, dropping as you climb upwards. So a mountain tour to Nepal in February should be postponed until warmer days. The peaks of Everest and Annapurna are best viewed from the valleys at this time of year.
Vacationing in Nepal in winter allows you to visit several interesting local festivals. Magh Sankranti and Tribeni Mela fairs take place in February, as well as the Tibetan New Year - Lhosar.
On February 18-19, Nepalis celebrate the major public holiday of Rashtriya Prayatantra Diwas, the National Democracy Day. Another celebration that encompasses everyone from small to large is Maha Shivaratri, the birthday of Shiva. And in late February and early March, Nepal celebrates Holi, the day of spring.
