May is a pleasant month to visit Nepal. The weather is generally warm and dry, with clear skies and occasional light showers. Expect comfortable daytime temperatures and slightly cooler evenings. So we are suggesting you pack accordingly.
*Travel eSims are a great way to stay connected while travelling. They are easy to set up online, no need to visit a store, and can be used in multiple countries. They are a data saver compared to international roaming and are compatible with most phones.
