Celebrate Holi, the festival of colours, then hit the spring trails. Rhododendron forests in bloom, warming weather and colourful festival fun.
Holi paints Nepal's cities and villages in clouds of colour each March, marking the arrival of spring. Pair the celebration with a trek and you'll catch the rhododendron forests just beginning to bloom.
Spring temperatures are mild and the days are lengthening — comfortable trekking conditions with the bonus of wildflowers, birdsong and a festive, joyful mood across the country.
Start with the colours of Holi in Kathmandu or Pokhara, then escape to the quiet of the hills for the perfect contrast.

Absolutely. Most travellers enjoy Holi in Kathmandu or Pokhara, then begin trekking the following day. We'll plan the timing around the festival.
The bloom starts in March at lower elevations and rises through April. Holi-season treks like Poon Hill and Mardi Himal often catch the first wave of colour.
