Quick answers to common traveler questions about Nepal
When is the best time to visit Nepal?
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the most popular: clear mountain views, pleasant trekking weather, and cultural festivals. Winters are cold at altitude; monsoon months bring rain in the lowlands.
Do I need a visa to enter Nepal?
Many nationalities can obtain a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport and most land crossings. You can also apply online for an e-visa. Check Nepal Immigration for up-to-date details.
Is it safe to trek independently?
Popular trails are well-traveled, but conditions and altitude risks remain. Hiring a registered guide or joining a reputable operator is recommended for safety, permit handling, and local support.
Tip: Use local tourist offices and official municipality pages for event dates, permits, and current travel advisories.
