March marks the beginning of the spring and lasts till May in both Nepal and India. The days are sunny, clear, and stable. Autumn starts in September and ends in November. These months also have the most stable weather, clear blue skies, with the perfect temperature for exploring and sightseeing.

Winter is also a good time to do this journey as the days are sunny and clear perfect for day sightseeing activities. You can go on this journey in summer/monsoon too but you have to deal with the hottest times of the year under the sun. The humidity and the monsoon rain might disrupt the peacefulness of the trip. So, summer is not that advisable for this trip.
