The spring and the fall are the best times of the year to visit and explore Chandragiri (March-June and September-November respectively). At this time of year, one is able to enjoy unobstructed views of the Himalayas, and the skies are pure blue, providing a beautiful background to the majesty of the mountains. Fall is the season with the clearest skies, while spring brings beautiful wildlife and lush vegetation to the hills. Spring also brings the end of the winter season. After you have finished all of your other activities in Kathmandu, regardless of the season, you may have an incredible tour of the surrounding area because it is so easily accessible. However, during the months of July and August, which are considered to be monsoon months, the clouds and showers make it difficult to see much from the top of the hill, which means that the trip will be messier and less enjoyable. During the winter months, there is a chance that it will snow, and this is the time of year when a large number of people from Kathmandu and the surrounding areas travel to the mountains to enjoy the snow without having to venture too far from the city.
