Frequently asked questions
Common questions our travelers ask about this package.
What's the best time to visit Nepal?
The ideal windows are October–November (post-monsoon) for clear Himalayan views and autumn trekking, and March–April (spring) for rhododendron blooms and mountain clarity. June–September is monsoon season — jungle wildlife thrives but mountain views are limited. December–February brings cold but peaceful experiences in Kathmandu and Pokhara.
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Nepal?
No — Indian citizens do not require a visa to enter Nepal. You only need a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Passport, or Voter ID). Travel is seamless, and we assist with Gorakhpur–Sunauli border crossings or Kathmandu (TIA) flight options.
