Best time to go

The best time to go on an adventure tour in Nepal with family is during the spring and autumn season. In these seasons, the temperature is mild, the weather is stable, and there are very few chances of rainfall. Due to these reasons, spring and autumn are considered as the ideal time compared to the hot summer and freezing winter seasons. 

The summer season is bad for family tour and adventures because the frequent rainfall during the monsoon season makes the trail slippery and muddy. The winter is not ideal for the family because the temperature is cold and the kids may fall sick.

But, kids and elderly people can face those challenges smoothly. The adventure tour is especially designed for families with beginners, children and elderly people who want a little thrill and family time. But, before making any decision, consult the doctor once.
