Nepal is a small, landlocked country surrounded by two large neighbors, China and India. It is a premier destination for adventure travel, boasting challenging trekking routes, awe-inspiring glaciers, and stunning valleys.
Visiting Nepal between October and December is ideal, as the skies are a clear blue and the views are spectacular. The weather is dry until April and temperatures vary across regions. January and February can be quite cold, particularly at night, with temperatures averaging 6°C in Namche Bazaar.
To really experience the best of Nepal, plan for a sufficient amount of time; this is enough to complete a serious trek, such as the remote and under-visited Makalu Base Camp or Arun Valley to Everest Base Camp trek, and have some extra time left to experience culture, jungle and other adventure activities such as rafting.
Yes, Nepal is a budget destination. It is one of the most economical countries we have ever visited! Accommodation is generally quite inexpensive, with many hostels, dorms, and guesthouses available.
Exercise caution in Nepal due to the potential for isolated political violence. Political demonstrations can sometimes become violent and Nepali authorities may use force to address them.
Generally, Nepal is known for its friendly people and hospitality towards tourists and visitors, making it a safe place to visit.
Visiting Nepal in autumn (September-November) and spring (late February-mid-April) is recommended, as these seasons offer dry days that make trekking easier and provide good visibility.
Yes, Nepal is a safe destination. The country is relatively stable and crime rates are low. However, visitors should take appropriate precautions when traveling to Nepal, particularly in rural areas where infrastructure is limited and medical facilities are scarce.
Tourists may request the following multiple-entry visas upon arrival at TIA and checkpoints: 15 days ($30 USD), 30 days ($50 USD), and 90 days ($125 USD).
If you're interested in adventure tourism, unique cuisine, and exploring rich cultures, then Nepal is certainly worth visiting. To help you discover this underrated South Asian destination, we're going to provide you with some epic activities to do while there.
Nepal is a great destination for travelers of all types, from the most adventurous to the most luxurious. During a 45-minute mountain flight, you can get an incredible view of the mountain range, including Mt. Everest, as if it were within reach. This is the perfect place for everyone.
I highly recommend spending an extended period of time in Chitwan to get the most out of your experience. The longer you stay, the more wildlife you'll get to observe. Let's begin our Chitwan National Park travel guide.
Chitwan National Park is home to many endangered species, including the one-horned rhino, royal Bengal tiger, gharial crocodile and fresh water gangetic dolphin. Wildlife enthusiasts can also observe four types of deer, two types of monkeys, wild boar, sloth bear, elephant and leopard.
The best time to visit Chitwan is from October to early March, when temperatures are pleasant at 25°C. However, if you can stand the heat, April and May are the end of the dry season when wildlife gathers at waterholes – expect temperatures in the mid 40°Cs. January is the coldest month, with temperatures sometimes skimming freezing at night.
On average, a person in Kathmandu would incur a cost of $45 per day, while in Royal Chitwan National Park the average daily cost would be $29. This includes accommodation (assuming the traveler will share the room), food, transportation, and entertainment.
Nepali and foreign nationals can enjoy a 4-hour Jeep Safari for NPR 2000 and USD 20, or a 2-hour Jeep Safari for NPR 1000 and USD 15.
A two or three day stay in Kathmandu is sufficient to enjoy a city tour of its famous sights and make day trips to other historic landmarks outside the city. With careful time management, both city tours and day trips can be accomplished in two days.
Nepal is a country of contrasts, boasting spectacular natural riches, a vibrant culture and a strong sense of history. It is home to ten of the world's highest mountains, providing a magnificent backdrop for hiking, mountaineering and white water rafting.
