The city of Janakpur is the headquarters of Dhanusa District in Nepal. It is a region of vast cultural and historical significance for the locals and Hindu devotees from all over the world. With the presence of numerous historical temples and shrines, it holds an immensely elevated position in the Hindu mythology of Ramayana and Mahabharata.

With the exception of extreme summer months, the weather of Janakpur can be enjoyed almost all year long. Here is a detailed account of the most suitable time for you to visit Janakpur.

Winters are a great time to visit Janakpur. A short autumn season can be witnessed in October and November when the temperature is just beginning to cool down after the sweltering days of summer. The receding monsoons clear up the atmosphere and make for a pleasant sightseeing experience. January is the coldest month in the season and has the most enjoyable weather to venture out and explore the city. The humidity levels are also low and chances of precipitation are minimal to none.

After the winters, spring is the best time to visit Janakpur. Before the summers begin, a transitional season of pleasant and relatively dry weather follows the retreating of winters. It is marked by blossoms of seasonal flowers like rhododendrons and is a good time to travel around the city.

Summers are not a good time to visit Janakpur. June and July are some of the hottest months in the region with sweltering daytime hours. Most of the days remain cloudy with high humidity and do not make for a pleasant sightseeing experience. Monsoon showers in this region are also quite heavy that begin towards the end of June and can last till the beginning of September.
