尼泊尔联邦民主共和国,简称尼泊尔,是南亚的内陆国,在喜马拉雅山南麓,北邻中国,其余三面与印度接壤。著名作家余秋雨在《千年一叹》中说过,“世界各国的文明人都喜欢来尼泊尔,不是来寻访古迹,而是来沉浸自然”。
尼泊尔地势北高南低,境内大部分属丘陵地带,海拔1000米以上的土地占总面积近一半。东、西、北三面多高山;中部河谷区,多小山;南部是冲积平原,分布着森林和草原。尼泊尔南北地理变化巨大,地区气候差异明显:北部为高寒山区,终年积雪,最低气温可达-41℃;中部河谷地区气候温和,四季如春;南部平原常年炎热,夏季最高气温为45℃。

Nepal is said to be “the kingdom of snow mountains”, and the most attractive place is the snow-capped Himalayas on the china-nepal border. It's a world-famous country for hiking. What's more, its historical and cultural sites are well worth visiting. So when is the best time to visit Nepal
Nepal has unusual geography! Mt. Qomolangma, the highest point in Nepal and on earth, is partly in the north of Nepal, while Terai Plain is the lowest point at 70 meters above sea level.
For such a huge altitude drop, nowhere else on earth could you find it. Because of its unique topography (地形), you will find in Nepal five climate zones. There are
also five seasons in Nepal: autumn, winter, spring, summer and the monsoon (雨季).
The autumn months of October and November are considered the perfect time to travel to Nepal. During this period, you'll see bluer and clearer skies. This period is the best time for adventure tours. You can also attend Dashain Festival (德赛节), a 15-day-long festival and the most colorful festival in Nepal. The temperature begins to drop in December and January. Winter is perfect for
visiting the Chitwan National Park in the south of Nepal.

You will get the best chance to see rhinos (犀牛) as well as Bengal tigers and elephants in the wild of Nepal's forest.
During the springtime, from February to April, temperatures slowly go up. The days are longer and are perfect for hiking and adventure tours. You can also attend some popular festivals like the Nepalese New Year in April.
May, however, pushes the temperature a bit higher. The real summer is quickly cut short by the beginning of the monsoon season. The monsoon wind coming from the Indian Ocean begins to bring in rain showers from mid-June until September. You can expect around 3 to 4hours of rain every day during this season.
