In this day, family members reunite, younger ones receives tika along with blessings from their elders. The day is celebrated in a great way.
Dashain also comes along with autumn season which is the best time to visit Nepal. Weather is usually clear with pristine views of snow capped Himalayas. Days are warmer and nights are chilly. Large number of travel lovers from all around the world visit Nepal during this time. They enjoy trekking around foothills of Himalayas and return with the lifetime of memories. Due to April earthquake and political instability, numbers of international tourists have declined this year compared to previous ones.
