Traveller notes on Lumbini in November
Notes from nearby Pokhara (110 km away)
Lumbini doesn't have its own notes for November yet — these are about Pokhara, close enough to share the season.
Pokhara's forum rates November highly — clear skies, warm and sunny days around 25°C in the sun, cooler mornings and evenings that call for a fleece rather than a heavy down jacket. Regulars flag it as one of the best months for mountain visibility, with peaks typically visible most of the day, and note Pokhara itself runs a touch warmer than Kathmandu.
