Kathmandu city tours typically use private vehicles such as cars, vans, or jeeps depending on group size, ensuring comfort and flexibility. For solo travelers or couples, air-conditioned cars are common, while larger groups use spacious tourist vans or minibuses. The driver and licensed city guide accompany you throughout, allowing easy access to major heritage sites like Swayambhunath, Boudhanath, Pashupatinath, and Kathmandu Durbar Square. Roads can be narrow and busy, especially in old town areas, but experienced drivers navigate efficiently. Some short walking is involved around temples and markets. Transportation is included in most guided day tour packages, with hotel pick-up and drop-off.

Nepal's climate is incredibly diverse due to its dramatic range in altitude—from the lowland Terai plains (around 60 meters above sea level) to the Himalayan peaks above 8,000 meters. The country experiences five main seasons: spring, summer, monsoon, autumn, and winter.

Kathmandu Monsoons (June–September): Heavy showers, high humidity—weekly thunderstorms common in July, with ~324 mm rainfall in July and ~238 mm in August.

Best times: Spring (March–May) and autumn (mid‑Sept to Nov)—clear skies, mild temps (daytime ~25–30 °C, nighttime ~10–15 °C)Winter (Dec–Feb): Cool & dry, lows can approach 0 °C but rarely snow in the valley.
