Get a visa or be prepared for queues at the Airport. A Nepalese visa can be obtained at Tribhuvan International Airport on arrival but don’t expect it that easy in peak tourist seasons. You will have to queue for a long time and complete certain procedures, pay fee and then you will get your visa. It is better if you get your visa from an embassy before coming to Nepal. And you might have to wait to collect your baggage for an hour minimum depending the time of your arrival.

Kathmandu’s Pollution

Don’t expect Kathmandu to be a perfectly clean city and regret soon after landing in Nepal. Being the capital of Nepal it is also one of the most polluted cities of the world as a result of unmanaged urbanization. Don’t expect to breathe free while walking to some major parts of the cities and don’t forget to wear a mask if you have low immune system but also don’t be mistaken expecting the whole Nepal to be the same, Nepal is pristine and pure neglecting the central hub. Once you go out of the major cities you will see the pure and unspoiled natural beauty that Nepal has been blessed with. The other part of Nepal is completely different and far from the chaos of the cities. UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Once you visit in Nepal don’t forget to visit the UNESCO world heritage sites and do make your itinerary accordingly. The heritages sites are full of history, fine arts, cultures and crafts and you won’t regret visiting it. There are number of world heritage sites in Nepal rich in art and cultures which are very important to be taken care of not only for Nepal but for the whole world. The major sites inside Kathmandu valley are Pashupatinath Temple, Soyambhunath Stupa (monkey temple), Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Changunarayan Temple, and many more. Visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Site is a must if you are visiting Nepal.

Don’t Drink Tap Water

Nepalese people are used to drinking water directly from the tap or any sources of water so they don’t get affected. But it is better if you avoid drinking water directly from the tap or any except boiled and bottled mineral water because you are not used to it and it may affect your health. Foods Along with so many adventures and exciting travel destinations, Nepal also offers you with so many varieties of delicious cuisines. Do try varieties of foods while traveling to Nepal and give your taste buds a different and unique taste. You will also find the number of restaurants serving international cuisines and have the pleasure of trying world-famous dishes in Nepal.

Electricity and Internet

The electricity problem has been improving in the context of a few years ago but still, there might be load shedding. The hotels have inverters and generators so there might not be problems in city areas. To stay connected via the Internet you can buy a local SIM- card. The Internet facilities have been improving in Nepal you can get wifi in almost all of the hotels and cafes but the speed might not be as per your expectations but works satisfactorily. Safer to travel with an agency It is not that risky to travel alone as we see numbers of solo travelers along the streets but if you travel with an agency it is much more comfortable and safer for you. You will not need to worry about documentation, accommodations, transportation, and many more. There is also very little chance of getting lost or theft. After all ‘Prevention is better than cure’.

As Nepal is a developing country the per capita income of the people here is very lower than other many countries. If you are traveling to remote areas then we suggest you stay in homestays. As it is the source of income for most of people your small contribution will help to boost the local economy.

Altitude

Hiking or trekking to high altitudes can result from altitude sickness and sometimes can be severe as well. So, it is better to have proper acclimatization and stay hydrated and have proper balance diets while trekking to higher altitudes.
