Each cell is that destination's own verdict for the month — sweet spot, ok or avoid — with its typical daily high, from the same ten years of climate readings its page is built from. A dot marks a busy month. The last row counts the sweet spots, and the best months are marked.

On arrival

Apps — Rides: inDrive, Pathao, Uber. Maps: Google Maps. Messages: WhatsApp, Viber. Pathao needs a Nepali phone number; inDrive works with a foreign number.
Paying — Carry cash: ATMs are unreliable outside tourist areas, cards are not taken in remote places, and some shops add a card fee. Local QR payments run on Fonepay, through Nepali banking apps.
UPI, for visitors from India — Works at participating shops on the Fonepay network: scan the Fonepay QR with your UPI app.
Tipping — Tourist restaurants usually add a 10% service charge plus 13% VAT to menu prices; taxi drivers do not expect a tip.

TravelCharika is not an emergency service: we cannot call for help or send anyone. Numbers can change; if one fails, ask someone local or your hotel.
