Winter is one of the best times to go out on long drives on Nepal’s highways as the cloud cover over the Himalayas recedes and the clear blue skies can be seen during the day. The season is also well-suited for motorbikers to go on long rides, and the BP Highway that connects Kathmandu with Sindhuli and beyond is one of the best routes for the purpose.
