What is the Best time of year to Book Cheapest Flights to Kathmandu ?

The low season in Nepal is in the monsoons, between the end of June and early September. Coming to the country within these months can give you slightly cheaper rates than the usual. During this time the rains are intense but the local community relies heavily on them for growing food and vegetables. The rain is sacred in Kathmandu and is celebrated by the people. Along with the cheaper airfares, you might also get better rates on accommodation. Coming to the city in early January, when the nights are the chilliest but the fares are the cheapest can also loosen that tight budget.
