FAQs

Nepal Travel Guide: FAQs

Short answers to what travellers ask about Nepal.

How many days do I need for Nepal?

Five to seven days suits Kathmandu, Pokhara and one short excursion such as Chitwan or Nagarkot. A trek, or a trip that adds Chitwan and a hike, usually needs ten to fourteen days. Three days works only for Kathmandu.

When is the best time to visit Nepal?

October and November, and March and April, are generally best for clear mountain views, trekking and comfortable sightseeing. Monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain, landslide risk and flight delays. December to February is dry but cold at altitude.

Do Indians need a visa for Nepal?

No. Indian nationals do not need a visa, but must carry an accepted identity document such as a passport or Election Commission voter ID. Nepal immigration states that Aadhaar is not accepted as a travel document.

Is Nepal safe for tourists?

Nepal is broadly suitable for tourism. The main issues are weather, road safety and altitude, not crime. Use registered guides on remote treks, allow acclimatisation days and insure for evacuation. In cities, take normal precautions against petty theft.

Which currency should I carry in Nepal?

Nepal uses the Nepalese rupee. Indian currency is accepted in some tourist areas, but denominations and exchange restrictions apply, and travellers report that larger Indian notes may not be taken. Carry Nepalese cash as a backup to UPI.

Which airport do I fly into for Nepal?

Most travellers fly into Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Bengaluru have direct services subject to season, and other cities usually connect through Delhi. Confirm operating dates before you book.

Is Nepal good for families?

Yes, with planning. Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and Lumbini offer accessible sightseeing, but long road days and altitude routes need age-appropriate plans. Private vehicles, shorter transfers and lower-altitude walks work best with children.

Do your Nepal packages include flights?

No. Our packages are land-only and cover hotels, transfers and sightseeing agreed in your itinerary. Flights are booked separately, and our planners can suggest timings. Travel insurance is arranged separately unless your itinerary says otherwise.
