April weather forecast
Nepal

April signals the height of spring in Nepal, featuring warmer temperatures and increasing rainfall. Kathmandu, the capital city nestled in the hilly mid-region, sees average temperatures ranging from 10°C (50°F) to 25°C (77°F). The southern lowland Terai regions experience even warmer conditions, with temperatures varying from 20°C (68°F) to 35°C (95°F). Higher up in the Himalayas, temperatures generally fluctuate between 5°C (41°F) and 15°C (59°F).

The lakeside city of Pokhara, famous for its panoramic mountain vistas, experiences average temperatures between 17°C (62.6°F) and 30°C (86°F). The city receives moderate rainfall during this month, which occasionally affects the visibility of the Himalayan peaks.

The Terai plains transition into a fully tropical climate in April. The region experiences high temperatures, significant humidity, and sporadic showers, marking a clear departure from the cooler and drier winter months.

In terms of precipitation, April is one of the rainier months of the year, signaling the transition towards the monsoon season. Rainfall events are more frequent and intense compared to March, although the majority of the month remains dry.

Trekking routes in the high altitudes, including the Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit, are fully accessible, but trekkers should be prepared for sudden changes in weather, including possible rain showers. The Kathmandu Valley and the Chitwan National Park continue to be popular destinations. However, the increasing heat and humidity in the Terai region start to make wildlife viewing less comfortable towards the end of the month.
