Visa Getting into Nepal

Before entering Nepal, you will require a Visa. For this, you can contact Nepali Diplomatic Missions in your respective country or your neighboring countries. However, Obtaining a Tourist Visa is a very easy process for Nepal as after 27th September 2021, the Government of Nepal resumed Visa Arrival Services after its suspension regarding the COVID crisis. For updated regulations, check here.

The visa obtained upon arrival at the entry and exit points is a “tourist visa”. They have multiple Reentrance facilities. The tourist visa is the only entry visa in Nepal. If you visit Nepal for other purposes than tourism (sightseeing, tourism, tourism, hiking, hiking, visiting friends and family), you should still get a “tourist visa” to enter the country. However, you must change the visa category from the Immigration Department and provide the required documentation based on your purpose and length of stay in Nepal.

From Tibet, you have to cross the border at Kodari and take a bus to Kathmandu. It is about a 7-8 hours drive to reach Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal.
