The climate of Nagarkot (Nepal)
Nagarkot is a small Tamang village just north of Kathmandu and is
located at an altitude of 2,000 meters. Because the village is
situated at the top of a hill you have a spectacular view over the
Himalayans. From here you have a clear view of 8 of the 10 highest
peaks in the Himalayans. When the weather is clear you have a
panoramic view of 300 kilometers of Himalayans. Especially when the
sun rises and the sun colors the snowy peaks orange the view is
spectacular. Chances of these clear views are highest from October
till March. Autumn, winter and spring are the driest periods.
Nagarkot has a moderate China climate with high precipitation figures
during summer. Because of the higher altitude temperatures are
slightly lower than in the nearby Kathmandu Valley. Summers are
warmest and may feel muggy because of high humidity figures. From
September temperatures start to drop. Winters are cool, temperatures
drop below freezing point every now and then. However, during spring
temperatures rapidly rise. During spring there may be a lot of fog
which obstructs the beautiful views.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
