Best time for Rara Lake Helicopter Tour

The ideal time to go for the Rara Lake Helicopter Tour is during the autumn and spring seasons in Nepal, specifically from September to November and March to May. These seasons have generally clear weather with low chances of rainfall, providing excellent visibility for the helicopter tour.

The autumn season, from September to November, offers bright and sunny days with moderate temperatures, making it perfect for outdoor activities like a helicopter tour. The colorful foliage on the trees and hillsides also adds to the beauty of the landscape.

Similarly, the spring season, from March to May, has mild and pleasant weather with clear skies, making it another ideal time for the tour. The hills and forests are covered with blooming rhododendron flowers of different colors, creating a vibrant landscape.

However, it’s crucial to note that weather conditions in the mountains can be unpredictable and may change quickly, so it’s always best to check the weather forecast before booking the tour. Also, it’s advisable to avoid the monsoon season, from June to August, as there is a high probability of rain, which can reduce visibility and make the helicopter tour less enjoyable.
