Travelling to Nepal?

Everything you need for Nepal, sorted before you land: data, visa, insurance and lounges.

TRIP FILE DATA

Eight of the world’s fourteen peaks above eight thousand metres are here, Everest among them. But Nepal isn’t only for climbers: Kathmandu is medieval, the Annapurna trails are walked by ordinary people, and the plains in the south have rhinos.

Travel notes for Nepal

NP / FIELD NOTES

OVERVIEW

The lay of the land

Nepal doesn’t touch the sea anywhere: it’s wrapped by its neighbours, so any way out is a land border. Beach means leaving the country, and that’s worth knowing while you build the trip.

STAYING CONNECTED

Data the moment you land

The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.

WHEN TO GO

Timing your trip

Nepal sits in the northern hemisphere, so the warmest, longest days fall roughly between June and August, while winters run colder. Spring and autumn usually trade the crowds for milder weather and better prices.

MONEY

Paying your way

Take out cash less often and in bigger amounts: most ATM fees are charged per withdrawal, not per euro, so four small ones cost four times what one does. Use a machine attached to a real bank, in daylight, indoors if you can.

ENTRY

Documents & cover

Check whether your destination wants an electronic authorisation before boarding: these are done online and can take days to come back. And always confirm with the country’s own official source, because these rules change without notice and guides go stale.

LANGUAGE

Getting understood

The translator’s camera is the tool people use most and mention least: point it at a menu, a sign or a ticket and read it. It works better with data, which is where an eSIM earns its keep far more than it does in your photos.
