November 4-17, 2026
Experience Nepal during Diwali, the Festival of Lights — a sacred and vibrant time when homes, temples, and villages are illuminated with candles, offerings, music, and celebration. November is also one of the best times to visit Nepal due to clear Himalayan mountain views, comfortable temperatures, and ideal trekking weather. Experience authentic culture through the eyes of Master Yogi, Laxman Panthi, and his team, including Caryn Tyler, of English-speaking guides for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Nepal.
