When to visit

The best time to visit Nepalgunj is during the autumn months of September to November when the weather is mild and pleasant. Spring, from March to May, is also a good time to visit as the flowers are in bloom. Avoid the monsoon season from June to August as heavy rains can disrupt travel plans. Winter can be cold, especially in the evenings, so make sure to pack warm clothing.

Getting around

Getting around Nepalgunj is relatively easy with options like taxis, rickshaws, and local buses. Walking is also a popular way to explore the city center. Renting a bicycle or motorcycle is another convenient option for independent travellers. Make sure to negotiate fares with taxi drivers and rickshaw pullers before starting your journey.

Traveller tips

Carry a water bottle and stay hydrated, especially during the hot summer months. Respect local customs and dress modestly when visiting religious sites. Bargaining is common in markets, so don't be afraid to negotiate prices. Be cautious of street food and drink bottled water to avoid stomach issues. Keep a copy of your passport and important documents in case of emergencies.
