The best time to visit Nepal is typically during the dry season, which runs from October to May.
SAFETY
Nepal is a very safe country to visit, even for solo travelers. Crime rates are very low, especially violent crime. It is perfectly safe to walk around, even at night time. Common sense is recommended anyway, as the country has a high poverty rate and pick-pockets and bag snatching could exists.
