Weather and Best Season for the Tour

The Luxury Tour for Above 50 Years can run throughout the year, but the best time is spring and autumn. In Kathmandu and Pokhara, the days are pleasant and warm between March and May, and hillsides are covered with flowers.

The climate is hot and humid in the seasons between June and August, which are the monsoon months, and rain showers are frequent. It is not impossible to travel, but clouds can obscure the mountains, and flights can be delayed to some extent. If good views and a comfortable sightseeing area priority, then we will suggest that you plan the Luxury Tour for Above 50 Years in spring or autumn.

Use safe water always when taking drinks. Hotels will serve hot or bottled water. Hot coffee and tea are normally safe.

Through some consideration, you will discover the food on this Nepal luxury tour to be delicious, healthy, and diverse.

Altitude Sickness and Suggestions

A nice benefit of the Luxury Tour for Above 50 Years is that it stays at gentle heights. You will sleep in Kathmandu at an altitude of about one thousand four hundred meters, in Pokhara at an altitude of about eight hundred and twenty meters, and in Nagarkot at an altitude of about two thousand one hundred and fifty meters. The risk is extremely low as serious altitude sickness is uncommon below a height of two thousand five hundred meters.

Nevertheless, it is prudent to simply care about your health. You should take a decent amount of water, walk at a very slow pace in uphill areas, and not consume a heavy amount of alcohol, at least in the evening in Nagarkot.

You might experience some breathlessness when climbing stairs or hilly slopes, but this is common and normally does not last long. You just need to inform your guide in case you have a headache or feel bad.
