Nepal in July
July is the wettest month. The Kathmandu–Pokhara highway and roads to Jomsom can close for hours or days after landslides, and Pokhara records some of Nepal's highest rainfall. Upper Mustang remains the best trekking choice. In the valley, rice planting fills the terraces and the temples are uncrowded. Treat this as a culture month in the cities or a Mustang month, nothing in between.
