Best time to visit Nepal?

The best times to visit Nepal are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) seasons. Spring brings warm weather, blooming rhododendrons, and clear skies, ideal for trekking and outdoor activities. Autumn, after the monsoon, offers the clearest skies and moderate temperatures, making it perfect for trekking, cultural tours, and enjoying the spectacular mountain views.

Best dish/food for anyone to try?

One of the best dishes to try in Nepal is the Nepali Thali, a traditional meal that includes rice, lentil soup (dal), vegetable curries, meat (optional), pickles, and yogurt. Another must-try is Mo Mo, which are Nepali-style dumplings filled with meat or vegetables and served with a spicy dipping sauce.
