Airports
Airports

Nepal’s main international airport is Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) in Kathmandu. Usually, trekkers fly straight to Lukla (Tenzing-Hillary Airport, LUA) to start their Everest adventures. Right now, with KTM under renovation, many domestic flights aren’t running. Most travellers instead drive to Ramechhap Airport (RHP) and catch a flight to Lukla from there.

Seasons
Seasons

The best time to visit Nepal is September to November for clear skies and stunning views, or March to May for mild weather and blooming landscapes.

Visa and Immigration
Visa and Immigration

You can obtain a tourist visa quite easily at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when your flight lands. The Government offers 15- and 30-day tourist visas for $30 (€27) and $50 (€45) respectively. 

Health and Safety
Health and Safety

You don’t need any mandatory vaccinations to travel to Nepal. That said, make sure you have travel insurance that covers mountaineering. It’s also a good idea to check in with your GP about your plans, especially when it comes to altitude sickness.
