• Eid holiday falls in March or April which is the peak tourist season in Nepal. Plan your Nepal tour accordingly to avoid the crowd.
• Choose the destinations off the main tourist hubs. Tourist hubs like Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara will be in high demand during this time. Visit Bardia national park, Koshi Tappu and small hill station towns like Daman, Bandipur, Tansen instead of tourist centers.
