How can I obtain a tourist visa?
Check if you meet the eligibility criteria for a tourist visa in Nepal. Generally, most nationalities are eligible to apply for a tourist visa. You can apply for the visa on arrival or at an embassy or consulate in your home country. You will need a passport with at least six months of validity from the date of entry and two passport-sized photos.
You can choose from these three visas:
15 days – 30 USD
30 days – 50 USD
90 days – 125 USD
It is possible to extend your visa until 150 days. Be aware that you should bring cash for the payment on arrival.
We strongly advise anyone to take travel insurance before coming to Nepal.
We want to assure you that Nepal is a year-round destination, with each season having its own unique beauty and cultural celebrations. If your primary goal is trekking in the mountains, it’s generally advised to avoid the monsoon season (June till August). However, there are some rain shadow areas that offer excellent trekking experiences during these months. For exploring the Himalayas, the peak seasons are spring (March till May) and autumn (September till November). The weather in the southern part of Nepal is pleasant during winter (December till February) and hot during the monsoon. Despite the heat, the monsoon months are still a great time to visit the south if you wish to spot wild animals, as they tend to gather around waterholes, making them easier to find.
We provide a detailed checklist of essential gears, items such as water snacks navigation tools first aid kit and appropriate clothing.
