The high season is from October to May. Autumn is the best season to spot all the endangered animals and plants in the jungles of Nepal. The climate is dry, the air is humid, and the visibility is clear. There is also a greater chance of spotting the elusive Bengal Tiger. Other animals like elephants, rhinoceros, and birds can be enjoyed to the fullest in the autumn season.

Winter and Spring are also good for visiting the jungle. It is quieter and not as hot.

The off-season (monsoon season) is from June to September. Throughout these months there’s constant rainfall. The forests will surely be greener because of the rain, but the animals will also be sheltering from the rain in their bills and dens. The humidity also decreases visibility and kills the chance of spotting Bengal tigers and Bengal floricans. Thus, summer is not the ideal time to visit Nepal for wildlife tours.
