Visa & Getting into Nepal

VISA

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 has resumed Visa on Arrival Services since 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.

GETTING INTO NEPAL
Entering Nepal is either by Flight or by Land. As a landlocked country, there are no direct means of sea or ocean transport. Thus the most convenient way to enter Nepal is via flight or by land transport. 

Air Travel (International Flight)
The best way to enter Nepal is via the Tribhuwan International Airport. TIA is the only operational airport for international flights. However, several other regional International Airports in Pokhara, Bhairahawa are under construction and are supposed to start operation soon.  However, there are several airlines that have regular flights to TIA Nepal.
 
   

*Note: Since the COVID situation, there may have been some changes regarding regular flights. 

Land Entry

As a landlocked country, Nepal is surrounded by China on the north and India on the east, south, and west. If you want to enter Nepal by land, you can get into India and Tibet. From Tibet, you have to cross the border at Kodari and take a bus to Kathmandu. It is about 7-8 hours’ drive to reach Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal.

If you are entering from India, the most convenient way is from Gorakhpur -Sunauli/Belahiya border, and then takes a bus to your destination. However,  there are multiple entry points.  Among which Kakadvitta, Birgunj, Taulihawa, Gaddachauki, Jhulaghat, and Darchula are the major entry points.
