Remember:
The climate in Nepal in may ranges from good to very bad depending on the region and city.
You are lucky: It is not ideal 100%, but the weather in Nepal in may is good in Pokhara. I allows to enjoy tours in this place. And even why not take a little time to sunbathe!
If you do not go for the sun or the beach, but, for example to go sightseeing around, the cities of Royal Chitwan National Park, Patan, Rudrapur and Kathmandu have a quite correct weather for this kind of activity in may. Eventually, avoid going to Everest, Nepalganj and Lukla in may because the climate is rather bad.
