BEFORE YOU DEPART
Travel Advisory
Please contact us for the latest travel advisory in order to ensure hassle-free entry to Nepal.
How Does Visa Work?
You can get the visa on arrival from the immigration desk at the airport and no additional documents and photo are required. The visa fees are US$30 for 15 days and US$50 for 3o day stay. While you can pay the visa fees by card, it is advisable to bring cash, just in case. You should expect a long queue for the visa in high trekking season and if you want to avoid it, it is good to get a visa prior to your travel from a Nepali Diplomatic mission.
About Nepal
Nepal was divided into small principalities and states until it was unified by a Shah king of Gorkha in 1769. Despite numerous political changes over the period, its social structures and institution remained intact, and largely unchanged. With Hinduism and Buddhism standing as the main religion, and the Himalayas as a backdrop, Nepal still practices centuries old traditions and customs. So we advise you to get familiar with some basic dos and don’ts of Nepal before you embark on a journey.
Keep In Touch With Home
Before leaving home, talk to your family and friends and let them know what your travel plan including the destination and the company you are traveling with. It is also advised to register your travel details with the embassy or consulate of your home country in Nepal.
Get Insured
So contact the most reliable insurance company and purchase the policy that covers the expenses related to medical conditions, including hospitalization and evacuation, and additional expenses incurred due to flight disruptions.
Contact Your Bank
In some cases, the credit/debit card you have might not work outside your country or the continent, so please contact your bank to make sure that your card works in Nepal.
AFTER YOU HAVE LANDED
Airport Transfer
Upon acquiring a visa, proceed to the exit point and look for our guide holding your name and our board and he will then drive you to the hotel.
If you have not booked airport pick up with us, please go to the pre-paid taxi counter and pay the fixed price (no negotiation) and drive to the hotel.
Avoid Street Foods
Eating the foods sold on a street is a fun and great way to taste local foods and support small-scale businesses but it involves a risk of getting a disturbed stomach. So we advise you to avoid street foods until you return to Kathmandu.
Make Sure You Have Everything You Need
Before leaving home, talk to your family and friends and let them know what your travel plan including the destination and the company you are traveling with. It is also advised to register your travel details with the embassy or consulate of your home country in Nepal.
Where do I store my baggage?
You can store your luggage at the hotel free of cost. You will need to fill out a form provided by the hotel to store your luggage.
Manage Cash
Make sure to carry enough cash that covers meals and personal expenses, as ATM booths are not available in the mountains. You can withdraw cash from ATM booths in Thamel or change the currency you bring from home.
Dietery Requirements
Let your guide know of any food allergies, vegetarian or vegan preferences. Rest assured your dietary requirement will be taken care of.
