Visa on Arrival: Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months from your departure date. Nepal provides a visa-on-arrival facility at Tribhuvan International Airport. To streamline the process, complete the visa application in advance via Nepal Immigration Online.

Visa Extensions: If you intend to stay longer, you can extend your visa at the Immigration Office in Kathmandu.

For your safety, we strongly recommend obtaining comprehensive travel insurance covering medical emergencies, evacuations, and trip cancellations. We kindly request a copy of your travel insurance during the booking process.

A passport copy and passport-sized photo are required for trekking permits. Providing these in advance will help minimize last-minute hassle.

Nepalese Rupee (NPR) is the local currency.

Altitude Sickness: If trekking in high-altitude areas, acclimatization is crucial. Carry necessary medications.

Respect Local Customs: Remove shoes before entering temples.

Cultural Immersion: Engage in homestays, local festivals, or monastery retreats for a deeper cultural experience.

Adventure Activities: Try paragliding in Pokhara, white-water rafting, or mountain biking in Mustang.

If staying for more than 90 days, ensure your visa extension is processed in time.
