No, the flights do not operate in every region of the country. Some of the places you need to travel by land ways as well to reach the destination.

You can tour in Nepal every month except winter (January and February) and rainy (Mid-July to mid of August) seasons.

    There are two ways to reach Nepal.

    1. By Flight: Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal having an international airport.  There are direct flights between Kathmandu and other countries.
    2. By Land: Nepal is a landlocked country where borders are linked with India and China therefore you may enter here in Nepal by land.

    To travel to Nepal, you must first obtain a Nepal Tourist Visa, unless you are an Indian national. If you are arriving in Nepal by plane, you can apply for a tourist visa at the immigration office in Kathmandu (Tribhuvan International Airport). Although obtaining a visa on arrival is simple, there may be large lines during high tourist season. If you wish to escape the lines, apply for a tourist visa through Nepalese Diplomatic Missions (Embassies/Consulates) stationed overseas before you travel to Nepal.

    Some nationalities are required to get visas from their nearest Nepalese diplomatic posts (Embassies/Consulates) prior to their arrival.

    For additional information, go to https://www.immigration.gov.np/.

    Nepal is placed 84th out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index in terms of 'official' safety (2018). It is the safest country in South Asia, but only average in the rest of the globe. The majority of crime is related to corruption and bribery; violent crime is extremely rare.

    The types of accommodation during the treks are Tea house, Home stay, Lodge or 3 star hotel.

    Everything you want to achieve is constrained by time and money. In addition, your trekking experience will be important. If you wish to travel around Nepal, you have a lot of possibilities. If you visit during the right season, that is, between September and November (Autumn Season) and March to May (Spring Season), you might just have a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek, Langtang Helambu Trek, or the Annapurna Circuit are the shortest treks. If you have a bit more time, the Everest trip and the complete Annapurna Sanctuary Trek may be suitable. Finally, if you're searching for a longer and more difficult trek, consider the Kanchenjunga or Makalu area treks.

    Nepal is a small country with many stunning sights to see. Here are some of the best spots to visit in Nepal.

    Kathmandu, Nagarkot, Dhulikhel, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Pokhara, Chitwan National Park, Lumbini, Janakpur, National Park of Bardia, Muktinath, Poon Hill, Annapurna Base Camp is located at the foot of Annapurna I., Everest Base Camp / Upper Mustang / Lo Manthang, Lake Gokyo, and many more. 

    If you are familiar with the terrain and have a lot of experience in the area, trekking alone can be a pleasurable experience. Nobody can drag you down, and you may go at your own pace while taking in the beautiful scenery. If it's your first time, however, you might prefer to travel in a group or with a travel agency. Having a group can be a lifesaver in situations such as medical emergency, disaster isolation, and so on. If you're traveling alone and don't have a group, you can hire a porter or a guide. 

    Climbing a peak, regardless of experience, necessitates a certain level of fitness. Some training may be required depending on the altitude and difficulty level. Certain mountains, on the other hand, can be climbed by a trekker or someone with no prior experience.

    Yes. A climbing permit is required for anyone planning to climb a peak.

    Yes. Travel insurance is an important essential. Insurance information can be found in the 'Terms & Conditions' section as well as in a separate topic.

    A tent will be supplied for your stay at base camp. You will also be given food that is appropriate for your future adventure. You will be accommodated in a hotel, lodge, or tea house before arriving at base camp. 


    Apart from the agreed-upon cost, neither your potter nor your guide will ask you for a gratuity. If his job impresses you, though, you are free to tip as you like.

    Find the closest landing site. Trek Leaders take the following steps: (1) Use First Aid or medical kit supplies if you have them. Always inform an injured person that he or she may be allergic to certain medications. (2) if CPR is required, utilize it (3) If a scenario requires evacuation, do so.

    No, not in all places of Nepal hunting is legal but for hunting, specifically an area has been separated which is Dhorpatan Hunting reserve where you can find the animal species like leopard, Goral, Serow, Himalayan Black bear, Barking deer, Muntjac and Wildbour and so on but you can only  hunt certain species of animals like Thar and Blue Sheep.

    A "VISA" to Nepal can be obtained at your country's embassy or other diplomatic office. For about $40, you can get a visa at any of Nepal's entrance points or at the airport's immigration. An additional payment of $30 is required for the visa extension. Remember to bring some passport-size pictures with you.


    The most popular trekking routes in Nepal are the Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Basecamp, Everest Basecamp, Dhaulagiri Circuit, Manaslu Circuit, and Kanchenjunga Circuit.

    Certain peaks between 5000 and 7000 meters that may be climbed in a day are classified as trekking peaks by the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). The entire climb from basecamp to the summit, as well as the descent back to basecamp, can be completed in a single day. NMA can provide you with a license for certain peaks.


    Climbing a summit necessitates some preparation. Although some of the minor peaks are accessible to even novice hikers, others necessitate extensive training, preparation, and experience. So, to summarize, if you want to climb it, you may certainly do so. However, it is contingent on the level of preparation and expertise. As a result, it's a good idea to start with smaller, gentler peaks and work your way up to the more difficult ones.


    During the climb, you will be accompanied by a well-trained and experienced guide.

    The finest seasons for trekking and climbing are March to May (Spring Season) and August to November (Autumn Season).

    The difficulty level and height of the peak, as well as the weather and an individual's ability to cope with the environment, all play a role. The ascent and descent from base camp to the summit usually takes one to two days.

    Nepal's communication infrastructure is improving all the time, and most trekking routes have cell phone coverage. VHF or satellite phones are accessible at base camp in the event of a climb. Weather can have a significant influence in communication in both circumstances.

    3. Tripod: All of the variables to consider while looking for the ideal portable tripod.
