The hotel where you stay will provide you with the daily breakfast. This is also a part of the package. You can enjoy meals for the rest of the day in local restaurants. 

The following detailed description explains how the 7 Days Nepal Tour itinerary addresses your lodging and fooding needs. The 7 days Nepal tour price is also dependent on the kind of services you choose in terms for food and lodging.

Where to stay

All three places have a diverse range of places to stay. In the case of Kathmandu, you can choose between luxury hotels to more affordable lodges. They are all equipped with modern facilities. But that is not all. They also reflect Nepali tradition and hospitality.

Thamel in Kathmandu is one of the most famous areas offering hotels and lodges.  This is a popular tourist hub in the Capital city with easy access to all essentials. Kathmandu Durbar Square could be another option.

No less are the accommodation options in Lumbini. You can choose between a simple guest house to upscale hotels in Lumbini. Most hotels here are available near the Maya Devi Temple

Best Time for 7 Days Nepal Tour

The best time to opt for the Nepal tour package is when the skies are clear. And it is also ideal when the temperature is moderate. You can experience those kinds of conditions in spring. Autumn is the best among all for Nepal travel.

September, October and November in autumn are known for stable weather and excellent visibility. As the season arrives immediately after the monsoon, you can expect all the dust from the air to be cleared. This condition is ideal if you want to see the mountains. The landscapes also look vibrant during this period. You also witness different cultural festivals like Dashain and Tihar in October and sometimes in early November.

Meanwhile, if blooming rhododendrons and lush greenery are your thing, opt for a Nepal visit in March, April and May. These spring months are great for a visit to Kathmandu and Nagarkot because of mild weather. Lumbini can become hotter during this time as compared to autumn and winter.

It is possible to travel to Nepal even in the winter season. It is cold in Kathmandu and Nagarkot in December, January and February. That is so especially in the mornings. But Lumbini is warmer than these two places. Nonetheless, there are fewer tourists during this time of the year. As such, there are chances for the accommodation cost and domestic airfare to be lower than in autumn and spring.

If you avoid the heavy rains and their risk, then even monsoon months in Nepal are ideal for travel. The risk of floods, landslides due to rain can disrupt your travel. Otherwise, the pleasant ambience in the country adds to your experience.

Here is a temperature breakdown of different seasons in Kathmandu, Nagarkot and Lumbini:
