• Visa on arrival available for Indian citizens — no complex formalities

Best Time to Visit Nepal

Nepal is a year-round destination, but two seasons stand out as the most popular for travellers:

• October to December (Autumn): Crystal-clear skies, stable weather, ideal for trekking and sightseeing. Peak season with the best mountain views.

• March to May (Spring): Rhododendrons in full bloom, pleasant temperatures, second-best trekking season. Excellent for wildlife spotting in Chitwan.

• June to September (Monsoon): Lush green landscapes and fewer crowds, but expect rain especially in the hills. Ideal for Lumbini and cultural circuits.

• January to February (Winter): Cold at altitude but perfect for Kathmandu sightseeing, Pokhara & Chitwan at lower prices. Snow views can be spectacular.

Essential Nepal Travel Tips for Indian Tourists

• Currency: Indian Rupees are widely accepted, but it is convenient to carry Nepali Rupees (NPR). 1 INR ≈ 1.6 NPR.

• Language: Nepali is the official language; Hindi is widely understood in tourist areas.

• Transport: Domestic flights (Kathmandu–Pokhara) save time; tourist buses connect major destinations affordably.

• Dress Code: Dress modestly when visiting temples and religious sites; remove footwear at temple entrances.
