When is the best time to visit Nepal?
The best time to visit Nepal is either during the autumn months of September, October and November or in the spring between February and April. For clear skies and superb mountain views autumn is the best time to travel. For warmer weather and for witnessing the emergent wildflowers, travel during spring is recommended. This is also an excellent time for wildlife viewing. Winters can be cold, especially in the hills, whilst summer heralds the arrival of monsoon rains.
Do I need a visa to travel to Nepal?
Visas are required for UK citizens visiting Nepal. They can be obtained on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or arranged in advance of travel.
How long is the flight to Nepal from the UK?
There are no direct flights between Nepal and the UK. The most convenient locations for connecting flights are the Middle East or India with flights taking approximately 12 hours.
Are vaccinations required for travel to Nepal?
We recommend consulting your doctor who will be best placed to advise you on vaccinations for Nepal. Recommended vaccinations for Nepal include Hepatitis A, Typhoid, Tetanus and Diphtheria whilst anti-malarial medication may also need to be considered.
What should I wear when travelling in Nepal?
Loose clothing worn in layers is recommended year-round. From October through to the start of spring a sweater or fleece as well as a jacket is also suggested as, once the sun sets, evenings can be cold. Comfortable walking shoes with ankle support are ideal for sightseeing and simple day walks.
How many days should I spend in Nepal?
There is plenty to see and do in Nepal and, depending on the places that are of most interest to you, it is possible to see Nepal’s main cultural sites in around 7 days. If you wish to visit a national park and experience the Himalayan foothills 10 to 14 days is recommended.
What currency is used in Nepal?
The Nepali Rupee is the official currency of Nepal. Major credit cards are accepted in all main tourist centres and ATM machines can be found in the majority of large towns and cities.
What languages are spoken in Nepal?
Nepali is the official language of Nepal, however, English is widely understood and spoken throughout the country and particularly in places frequented by foreign tourists.
