Basic Travel Information for Nepal
- You need a visa to enter Nepal. Visas-on-arrival are available but travellers should check with the nearest Nepal Embassy for details and conditions.
- Fully vaccinated travellers no longer need a pre-departure COVID-19 (PCR) test to enter Nepal. You’ll need to present your vaccination certificate on arrival.
- Nepal has removed COVID-19 restrictions.
- Nepal is issuing trekking and mountaineering permits, but you should check with your intended tour provider on operations in the 2023 spring and autumn seasons. We provide and organize trekking permits for all our guests.
- It is recommended to travel with a certified local guide in Nepal, especially in remote trekking areas. Be aware of avalanches, sudden changes in weather and cultural differences.
- We highly recommend that you carry medicines with you on your trip to Nepal, they can be difficult to purchase once you are trekking or visiting remote areas.
- The local currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Exchange foreign currency for NPR at banks and exchange bureaus in major centres. Major hotels and commercial centres accept credit cards. ATMs are uncommon in remote areas. Carry enough cash to cover your needs.
- Only use registered taxis and authorised limousines. Taxi drivers often refuse to use meters and overcharge travellers. Negotiate the fare with the driver before you go. Avoid public buses and vans. They’re overcrowded and poorly maintained. Intercity buses often have serious accidents. Women may be harassed on public buses.
