Nepal Tour & Travel Guide

When To Visit Nepal

The best time to visit Nepal is between October and May, unless you especially want to be there during the monsoon. October and November are considered the best months to be in Nepal, but then it is also the most crowded.

Tourist Visas Conditions

Visitors need to pay about $10 for a fifteen-day transit visa on entry. This can be extended to a thirty-day tourist visa, at no extra cost, at the immigration office in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
Thirty-day tourist visas can be purchased from Nepalese embassies around the world (rates vary), and may be extended in Nepal.
If you're going to stray into the hills then you'll need a trekking permit too.

How to Reach Nepal

Many people fly from Delhi to Kathmandu for around $150. Be warned though, this is a popular route so book well in advance.

If you're adventurous, and have time on your hands, then the overland route is always the most exciting.

There are buses from Delhi to Kathmandu, although you might prefer to take the night train from Delhi to Gorakhpur, in northern India, and then a bus to Sunauli on the Nepalese border.

A short walk across the border and you're in Nepal. From here you will need to take another bus to Pokhara  or Kathmandu. Pokhara is about 200km west of the capital, Kathmandu.

Nepal can be similarly reached from Calcutta.
