Nepal Visa Guide | Trex Mount Adventures

Planning a trip to Nepal? Whether you're coming for trekking, cultural tours, peak climbing, wildlife adventures, or mountaineering expeditions, obtaining a Nepal visa is a simple and straightforward process for most international travelers.

At Trexmount Ventures, we aim to make your travel preparation as smooth as possible. This guide provides essential information about Nepal's tourist visa requirements, application process, fees, and important travel tips.

Tourist Visa for Nepal

Most foreign nationals can obtain a Tourist Visa on Arrival when entering Nepal. This convenient service is available at:

Tribhuvan International Airport (Kathmandu)
Major land border entry points into Nepal

The Visa on Arrival system allows travelers to enter Nepal without visiting a Nepalese embassy or consulate beforehand, making travel planning easier and more flexible.

Visa Requirements

To obtain a Nepal Tourist Visa, travelers generally need:

A passport valid for at least six months from the date of entry
A completed visa application form
A recent passport-sized photograph
Payment of the applicable visa fee
Proof of onward travel (if requested by immigration authorities)

Travelers should ensure that all documents are accurate and up to date before arriving in Nepal.

Nepal Tourist Visa Duration

Tourist visas are available in the following durations:

15-Day Tourist Visa

Suitable for short vacations, cultural tours, and brief trekking adventures.

30-Day Tourist Visa

The most popular option among trekkers and travelers. It provides sufficient time for many of Nepal's famous trekking routes, sightseeing tours, and adventure activities.

90-Day Tourist Visa

Ideal for extended travel, long-duration treks, volunteer programs, and travelers wishing to explore multiple regions of Nepal.

Nepal Visa Fees

Tourist visa fees are determined by the Government of Nepal and are subject to change. Visa fees are usually payable at immigration counters upon arrival. Travelers are advised to carry cash in major international currencies, although card payment facilities may be available at some locations.

Online Visa Application

To reduce waiting time at the airport, travelers are encouraged to complete the online visa application before departure.

Completing the online form in advance allows travelers to receive a confirmation receipt that can be presented to immigration officials upon arrival, helping speed up the visa issuance process.

Visa Extension in Nepal

Travelers who wish to stay longer in Nepal can apply for a visa extension after arrival.

Visa extensions can be processed through:

Department of Immigration, Kathmandu
Immigration Office, Pokhara

Additional fees apply depending on the duration of the extension requested.

Visa extensions are particularly useful for trekkers, climbers, and travelers who decide to extend their journey due to weather conditions, additional sightseeing plans, or expedition schedules.

Special Permit Areas

Some trekking regions in Nepal require special permits in addition to a tourist visa.

These restricted areas may include:

Upper Mustang
Upper Dolpo
Manaslu Region
Nar Phu Valley
Kanchenjunga Region
Other government-designated restricted areas

Trexmount Ventures can assist travelers in arranging the necessary permits and documentation required for these regions.
