In the city of Pokhara, renowned for its tranquil lakes and panoramic mountain views, average temperatures vary from 25°C (77°F) to 35°C (95°F). Due to the peak monsoon period, the city experiences substantial rainfall, often causing disruption in daily activities and reducing visibility of the Himalayan peaks.

In July, the Terai plains exhibit classic tropical monsoon climate features, with hot, humid, and heavy rainy conditions. The high temperatures and rainfall contrast significantly with the drier and cooler conditions of the winter months.

July is typically the wettest month in Nepal, marking the apex of the monsoon season. The rain events are frequent and intense, leading to an unpredictable weather pattern and occasional disruptions in outdoor activities and transportation.

With the monsoon in full swing, high altitude trekking routes like the Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna Circuit are generally inaccessible due to the heightened risk of landslides and flooding. The heat, humidity, and frequent rainfall make wildlife viewing in the Chitwan National Park less desirable. The Kathmandu Valley, despite the persistent rainfall, can still offer some trekking opportunities during the less rainy periods. However, visitors are advised to stay vigilant of the weather conditions.
