Kathmandu and the lake city of Pokhara generally have a very moderate, pleasant climate. The Terai lowlands witness a sharper summer and the mountains, a stronger winter.
However, you might want to check if a hotel in Kathmandu has temperature control especially during the winters; and in the Terai lowlands especially during the summers for a more comfortable stay.
