Tourist Visa:
Tourists who intend to visit Nepal must hold a valid passport and visa. A tourist entry visa can be obtained from any Nepalese Embassy or Consulate, or other mission offices overseas, or immigration offices located at entry points in Nepal.

Whereas Indian nationals do not require a visa, citizens of all other countries require one. However, visas for children under 10 years of age are free. Two passport-sized photos are mandatory for acquiring a visa.
Chinese citizens are required to apply for their visas at any Nepalese Embassy or Diplomatic mission abroad as there is no provision for them to apply on arrival at a point of entry.

Visas are issued free to Chinese and South Asian passport holders (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives and Pakistan).

Accommodation:
Nepal has every category of accommodation. These range from the international standard star hotels to budget hotels and lodges. During the spring and fall seasons the better hotels work at near full capacity and are booked well in advance. There are, however, plenty of less glamorous but decent hotels to suit everyone's finances. Most hotels offer a choice of bed and breakfast, either bed or breakfast and one other meal or a room with full board. Rates vary considerably from establishment to establishment. In the more remote areas of the country, accommodation and meals for tourists are relatively easily available these days.

Shopping:
Nepal has many fine handicrafts, such as hand-knotted woolen carpets, jewellery, pashmina shawls, knitted woolen wear, embroidered fabrics, Thangka paintings, Mithila paintings, wood carvings, metal work, ceramics and pottery, rice paper and stationery.

Credit Card:
Major credit cards such as MasterCard, American Express and Visa are honored and accepted at major hotels and restaurants.

Tourist Security:
A unit of the Nepal Police known as the Tourist Police, trained specially to assist visitors regarding security and other travel related problems, is available instantly upon request.

Foreign Exchange:
Foreign currency must be exchanged only through the banks or authorized foreign exchange dealers. The receipt from such transaction is to be obtained and retained. Visitors can exchange money at the foreign exchange counter at the airport upon arrival, or at banks or money exchange centers.

Electricity:
220 Volts AC at 50 Hertz throughout the country

Insurance:
Please ensure that you are adequately insured to cover any unforeseen incidents such as accidental injuries, inability to continue at high altitude, deaths and so on.
