Yes, you can fill out the online visa application form via the official Nepal Department of Immigration website. After submission, print the confirmation receipt and bring it along with your passport and photo to present upon arrival.The most common and the most convenient way to get a Nepal visa is to get on arrival directly from the airport once you land in Nepal.

The most convenient entry point is Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu. Popular international carriers such as Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Emirates, and Singapore Airlines offer connections from major cities worldwide via transit hubs like Doha, Istanbul, and Dubai. There are few cities where you can fly directly to Nepal daily. They are Bangkok, Kualalampur, Singapore, Delhi, Doha, Dubai and several other cities have direct flights once or twice to Nepal like Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Hongkong, Osaka, Istanbul etc.

Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) give stable skies across Everest, Annapurna and Langtang. The rain-shadow regions are the smart exception: Upper Mustang and Dolpo are at their best June–September, when the rest of Nepal is in monsoon. Tell us your dates and we'll match you to the right region.

Never drink untreated tap or stream water. We steer you toward boiled or properly treated water, your guide carries purification backup, and rehydration salts sit in every first-aid kit. Stomach bugs weaken you faster than altitude does — this one rule keeps your trek on track.

Better than you'd expect. Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC) 4G covers most major trekking corridors — you'll usually have signal in Namche Bazaar and in most villages up to around 4,000m on the Everest and Annapurna routes. Teahouses offer Wi-Fi (free at lower altitudes, a small fee higher up). On truly remote routes like Dolpo, we plan around satellite communication and scheduled check-ins with our Kathmandu office.

Yes — USD is widely accepted for visa fees, tours and city hotels, and we quote all our treks in USD. For daily trail life (teahouse drinks, snacks, hot showers, tips) you'll need Nepali Rupees (NPR), which you can withdraw from ATMs in Kathmandu or Pokhara. Bring clean, newer bills for exchange— torn or heavily worn notes are sometimes refused.

Yes. Tourist visas on arrival are issued not just at Kathmandu's airport but also at major land crossings — Belhiya (Sunauli), Birgunj, Kakarbhitta, Nepalgunj and Gaddachowki. The Sunauli crossing from India is the most popular overland route. Carry your passport, passport photos and USD cash for the visa fee, and double-check the latest immigration rules for your nationality before travelling, as land-border policies can change.
