Five to seven days suits Kathmandu, Pokhara and one short excursion such as Chitwan or Nagarkot. A trek, or a trip that adds Chitwan and a hike, usually needs ten to fourteen days. Three days works only for Kathmandu.

October and November, and March and April, are generally best for clear mountain views, trekking and comfortable sightseeing. Monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, landslide risk and flight delays. December to February is dry but cold at altitude.

Nepal is broadly suitable for tourism. The main issues are weather, road safety and altitude, not crime. Use registered guides on remote treks, allow acclimatisation days and insure for evacuation. In cities, take normal precautions against petty theft.
