Travel tips for Nepal

  • 1

    Carry small bills in Nepali rupees for local markets and street vendors, as many places don’t accept cards or large denominations.

  • 2

    Pack layers for unpredictable mountain weather—days can be warm in Pokhara but freezing at Everest Base Camp even in summer.

  • 3

    Always negotiate taxi fares upfront or insist on using the meter, as drivers often inflate prices for tourists.
