The climate of Dhulikhel (Nepal)
Dhulikhel is situated at the foot of the hills in the Kathmandu
Valley. From the city you have a breathtakingly beautiful view over
the Himalayans. Dhulikhel is an old city that has been an important
trading post for the trade with Tibet for centuries. Gold, silk and
wool are traded between these two countries. The city itself was built
up according to the Hindu philosophy; there is a perfect balance
between old houses, Hindu shrines and beautiful temples. The houses
are famous for the wood carvings in doors and window-frames. Most
tourists come here to make the pilgrimage to the Namo Buddha. This
daytrip through the hills leads to a temple that commemorates the
story of Buddha offering himself as food for a hungry tiger and her
cubs.
Dhulikhel has a moderate China climate. There are large differences in
temperatures between summer and winter. Winters are cold with
temperatures that are much lower than those during the summer, subzero
temperatures are not uncommon during the winter. During the summer it
may be quite warm. Precipitation figures are low during spring.
However, when temperatures start to rise precipitation figures rise as
well. Summers may be very wet.

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
