Monsoon Season - We do not run this tour during the monsoon season, as the rafting isn't possible, trekking is hard work in the hot & rainy weather, and there is a high risk of landslides causing long delays to the overland journeys.

Good Trekking - Late September to November are the best and most popular time for trekking in Nepal, with good visibility and fine weather. The rafting is good, though the water is cooler towards the start of the season. Wildlife viewing is good in Chitwan, though the elephant grass gets longer as the season progresses, reducing the possibility to see some species.

Winter Season - We do not generally run this tour during the winter months of December to February as the river water is very cold for the rafting section. We can still run the tour for a minimum of 6 people however.

Good Viewing - Late February to May is an ideal time to do this tour, as the weather is good and the water is warmer for the rafting. Visibility is good for the trekking, and the elephant grass is cut in Chitwan National park during this season which gives better wildlife viewing opportunities. It does get hot towards the end of the season, so March & April are ideal months.
