Nepal experiences five seasons and climatic zones which broadly corresponding to the altitudes. The seasons are summer, monsoon, autumn, winter and spring.



Dandi Biyo is a very popular game in Nepal. Some consider it as a national game of Nepal. This game is played with a help of a stick (Dandi) about two feet long and a wooden pin (Biyo) about half feet long.

A hole is made on the ground, which in diameter is just smaller than the length of the pin, the pin is laid across the hole and a player puts one end of the stick inside the hole and holds the other end.

Then the player tries to jerk the stick to hit the pin so that the pin flies in the air.

If another player catches the pin when it is in the air, the hitting players turn is over and other player goes to do the same.

Other popular sports include football, basketball, cricket and golf.
