    Blank Pages: Your passport should have at least one blank page for the visa stamp.

    Currency and Exchange

    Currency: The official currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR).

    Where to Exchange:

    • Airports: Exchange counters are available at Kathmandu's airport, but rates might be slightly less favorable.
    • Money Changers: Licensed money changers, particularly in tourist areas like Thamel (Kathmandu) and Lakeside (Pokhara), often offer competitive rates.

    ATMs: ATMs are widely available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Major international cards (Visa, MasterCard) are generally accepted. It's advisable to inform your bank about your travel plans to avoid any card blocks.

    Credit Cards: Major credit cards are accepted in larger hotels, restaurants, and shops, especially in tourist areas. However, for smaller purchases, local markets, and rural areas, cash is essential.

    Tip: Carry smaller denominations of NPR for daily expenses, tips, and purchases in local markets.

    Travel Insurance

    Travel insurance is highly recommended for your trip to Nepal, especially if you plan to engage in adventure activities.

    • Medical emergencies: Including hospital stays, doctor visits, and emergency medical evacuation.
    • Trip cancellation or interruption: For unforeseen circumstances.
    • Baggage loss or delay.
    • Adventure Activities: If you plan on paragliding, zip-lining, or any trekking, ensure your insurance specifically covers these activities and the altitude you might reach.

    Providers: Reputable international travel insurance provides comprehensive plans suitable for Nepal. Always read the policy details carefully to understand your coverage.

    Transportation Information

    Kathmandu to Pokhara (and vice versa):

    • Private Vehicle (as included in your package): This is the most comfortable and convenient option. The drive takes approximately 6-7 hours, offering scenic views.

    Mosquitoes: Carry insect repellent, especially during warmer months or in areas near water bodies.

    Personal Safety: Nepal is generally safe for tourists. However, take standard precautions:

    • Be aware of your surroundings, especially at night.
    • Keep your valuables secure and avoid displaying large sums of cash.
    • Use reputable taxis or transportation services.

    Medical Facilities: Kathmandu and Pokhara have hospitals and clinics. For serious emergencies, medical evacuation might be necessary (hence the importance of travel insurance).

    Plug Types: The most common plug types are Type C (two round pins), Type D (three round pins in a triangular pattern), and Type M (three large round pins).

    Adapters & Converters: If your devices use different voltage (e.g., from North America which is 110-120V) or different plug types, you will need a travel adapter and potentially a voltage converter (transformer). Most modern electronics (laptops, phones) are dual voltage, so you might only need a plug adapter.
