Nepal in April

March to May is Nepal's mild spring and temperatures ranges between 16 and 23 °C(61-73 °F) in Kathmandu. The beginning of spring sees temperatures slowly rise and regal rhododendrons gently come into bloom.  The days are longer during March and April, making them perfect for trekking, although temperatures are still cool at night, with warm clothes needed. May is one of the warmest months of the year but will bring cloud and showers before the monsoon arrives.
