Nepal Travel FAQs
- How many days do I need in Nepal?
Nepal offers a perfect combination of adventure and spirituality. Generally speaking, how many days you need to spend in this country depends on what you are interested in. For a tour that focuses on the highlights of the Kathmandu valley, spending about 4 days is reasonable. But if you want to extend your tour from Kathmandu to Chitwan and Pokhara, 7-10 days would be more appropriate.
- Can I combine my visit to Nepal with another country?
Yes. As with close geographical locations, India, Bhutan, and China's Tibet are normally the most popular choices to combine with Nepal. Due to the different entry policies of different destinations, it is highly recommended that you check the specific requirements of each destination when planning your vacation. We offer some South Asia tour packages with Nepal included. You can check our sample itineraries to enquire or contact us to customize your unique trip.
- Is it a common practice to give tips in Nepal?
Tipping is not mandatory in Nepal. But considered as a gesture of appreciation for good service, it is certainly welcome. Based on your satisfaction with the tour, you may tip USD 3-7 per traveler per day for a tour guide, USD 2-5 per traveler per day for a driver, and USD 2 for a representative. In large hotels and restaurants, tipping is commonly included in the final bills as a "service charge", and is not required to give it again.
- Is English widely used in Nepal?
Nepali is the official language of Nepal, and different ethnic groups speak their own languages in villages. In general, English isn't spoken much in Nepal, except for the people who work for tourism in Nepal's major tourist cities. During your tour, you don't have to worry about language issues, as you will be accompanied by your private English-speaking guide from the beginning to the end.
- How should I dress while travelling in Nepal?
Most of the population in Nepal adheres to Hinduism and Buddhism. The locals here comply with a modest dress code. Therefore, too short, tight, and revealing clothing is not recommended for tourists. When visiting the religious temples, you will need to wear clothes that cover your upper legs and shoulders and take your shoes off before entering. And in some temples (mostly Sikh temples), you will also need to cover your head. Keep the above in mind, you can just wear what you like according to the weather in Nepal. Don't forget to pack light-weight clothes and comfortable walking shoes for hiking or trekking.
Top Places to Visit in Nepal

A melting pot of diverse cultures, religions and ethnicities, Kathmandu Valley is mainly comprised of three ancient cities: Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan, home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and hundreds of sacred sites. The area was badly damaged by the 2015 earthquake, but you can still explore breathtaking stupas, temples and Durbar squares.
- CHITWAN
Photographing one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, monkeys and crocodiles, among many other animals, in one of Asia's best wildlife-viewing spots will be one of the highlights of your trip to Nepal. Take a jeep safari or ride a canoe along marshes and rivers, and observe local tribal life in a Tharu village.
- NAGARKOT
Only 30 km from Kathmandu, Nagarkot is known for its stunning sunrise views of the Himalayas and the Kathmandu Valley. Waking up and admiring Mount Everest from your hotel balcony can be an unforgettable experience. Located at 2000 m above sea level, its 12-km hiking trail is also very popular among tourists.
- POKHARA
The second largest city in the country is often the starting point for treks to the Annapurna region and, on clear mornings, it offers spectacular sights of the mountain range. Walk or cycle around the beautiful Phewa Lake, or trek up to the impressive World Peace Pagoda and enjoy fantastic views of the surroundings.
- EVEREST BASE CAMP
You don't need to submit the Earth's highest peak to feel like an authentic adventurer: If you are physically fit and have a passion for trekking, you can trek to the base of Mount Everest with a private guide or porter to catch a glimpse of the surrounding Himalayan peaks.
