When is the best time to visit Nepal?
Do I need a visa?
British and American passport holders require a valid visa to enter Nepal. A valid visa can be secured from Embassy or Consulate of Nepal based in your country by applying for visa in person or by post. Alternatively, a visa can be obtained on arrival at the airport in Kathmandu after completing an application form along with two passport photographs and visa fee. We provide guidance and assistance in visa application at time of booking.
What are the flying times and are there any direct flights?
There are no direct flights to Nepal. Flying takes from 12 hours to 14 hours depending on which airlines you are travelling with.
What vaccinations do I need for visit to Nepal?
Specialised travel-medicine clinics or your GP are your best source of up-to-date information. They will recommend the requirement for any vaccinations which may be required. Another good source of information is the NHS travel medicine website fitfortravel.nhs.uk. The key for travel vaccinations is to plan early. Most vaccines don’t give immunity until at least two weeks after they’re given and vaccines like diphtheria and tuberculosis require a three-month incubation, so visit your GP well before departure. Ask your GP or travel clinic for an International Certificate of Vaccination (sometimes known as the ‘yellow booklet’), which will list all the vaccinations you’ve received.
