FAQ

Q 1. Do I need a visa to come to Nepal?
Yes! Most of you will need a visa in your passport by the time you arrive in Nepal. (The major exception is for Indians.)

Q 2. What will the weather be like in Kathmandu?
August-September in Kathmandu is almost the end of rainy season. Average temperatures in August-September range from +15ºC to +25ºC during the day. However, it may rain occasionally. So, a rain coat or an umbrella will work.
Of course, if you want to go for a trekking higher up, you will need some warm clothes.
