February in Nepal sees the onset of late winter, with a gradual increase in temperatures compared to the preceding month of January.

In the higher Himalayan regions, the cold is still intense with temperatures often dipping below 0°C (32°F), albeit less severe compared to January.

Pokhara, a city nestled between the tranquil lakes and towering mountains, experiences average temperatures from 10°C (50°F) to 25°C (77°F) in February. The weather remains relatively dry, with clear skies still offering stunning views of the snow-capped peaks.

On the other hand, the Terai plains continue to experience foggy conditions early in the month, but these gradually lift towards the end of February. The unique "Terai Cold Wave" starts to fade, giving way to warmer and clearer weather.

Compared to January, February experiences a slight increase in precipitation, marking the end of the winter dry spell and the beginning of the winter rain. However, the overall precipitation levels remain low, with the exception of sporadic rainfall events.

In higher altitudes, the freezing conditions of January start to thaw, making trekking routes such as the Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit more accessible, albeit still challenging. However, the Kathmandu Valley and the Chitwan National Park in the Terai region remain attractive for trekking and wildlife viewing, respectively, taking advantage of the milder and drier conditions before the onset of the spring season in March.
