Important note:
Citizens of some countries are required to obtain a visa before arriving in Nepal from a Nepalese Embassy or Consulate. Travelers holding refugee travel documents may also need to arrange a visa in advance. We recommend checking the latest rules with Nepal’s Department of Immigration or the nearest Nepalese Embassy before travel.

Our team will guide you with the latest arrival instructions before your trip. Once you complete immigration and baggage collection, our airport representative will be waiting outside the arrival terminal to welcome you and transfer you to your hotel.

Upon your arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, a representative from Luxury Holidays Nepal will be waiting for you outside the arrival terminal to welcome you.

Our airport representative or driver will normally be holding a signboard with your name and/or Luxury Holidays Nepal’s name, so you can easily identify them after completing immigration, collecting your luggage, and exiting the arrival hall.

After meeting you, our team will assist you with your luggage and transfer you to your hotel in a private tourist vehicle. The transfer is arranged according to your flight arrival time, so even if your flight is delayed, our team will monitor the schedule and adjust the pickup accordingly whenever possible.

Before your arrival, we will also share the necessary contact details, such as the name and phone number of the airport representative or our operations team, so you can contact us easily in case you need any assistance at the airport.

For most of our Nepal tour packages, airport pickup and hotel transfer are included, making your arrival smooth, comfortable, and hassle-free.

Upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, the visa process, immigration clearance, and baggage claim usually take around 45 minutes to 1.5 hours in total.

However, the exact time can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of international flights arriving at the same time, the length of the visa-on-arrival queue, immigration processing, and baggage handling time.

If you have already completed the online visa application form before arrival and are carrying the correct visa fee in US dollars, the process may be faster. During busy arrival periods, public holidays, or peak travel seasons, it may take longer than usual.

After you complete immigration and collect your luggage, please proceed to the exit terminal, where a representative from Luxury Holidays Nepal will be waiting for you with a signboard showing your name and/or our company name.

To make your arrival smoother, we recommend keeping your passport, visa fee, arrival details, hotel address, and travel documents easily accessible during the arrival process.

Yes, you can buy a local SIM card at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu after completing immigration and collecting your luggage.

SIM card counters are usually available in the arrival area, where you can purchase a prepaid SIM from major telecom providers such as Ncell and Nepal Telecom (NTC).

To buy a SIM card, you will normally need to provide:

Passport   - Required for registration
Passport-size photo -   May be required, though some counters can take a digital photo

Please note that airport SIM counters may be busy during peak arrival times, and package options or prices can change. For a smoother arrival, you may also choose to buy a SIM later in Kathmandu, especially in areas like Thamel, where many mobile shops offer SIM cards and data packages.

Our airport representative or guide can assist you if you need help purchasing a SIM card after arrival.

You can exchange foreign currency at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu after your arrival. Authorized money exchange counters are available inside the arrival area, making it convenient to exchange a small amount of money before leaving the airport.

However, airport exchange rates may not always be the best compared to exchange counters in the city. We recommend exchanging only a small amount at the airport for immediate expenses, such as snacks, tips, or personal purchases, and exchanging more later at authorized money exchange counters or banks in major tourist areas.

Popular places to exchange money include:

Kathmandu Airport   - Convenient for immediate cash needs after arrival
Thamel, Kathmandu  -  Many authorized money exchange counters with competitive rates
Lakeside, Pokhara   - Easy to exchange money in the main tourist area
Banks  -  Available in major cities, usually during banking hours
Hotels  -  Some hotels may exchange money, but rates may be lower

Major currencies such as US Dollars, Euros, British Pounds, Australian Dollars, and other widely used currencies are usually accepted at exchange counters. For the best experience, carry clean and undamaged notes, as torn, old, or heavily marked bills may not be accepted.

ATMs are also available in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, and other major cities. However, withdrawal limits and bank charges may apply. For trekking regions or remote areas, we recommend carrying enough Nepali Rupees in cash before leaving the city.

Our guide or airport representative can assist you with general guidance on where to exchange money safely after arrival.

The best and most convenient way to get from Tribhuvan International Airport to your hotel is by using the pre-arranged airport transfer provided by Luxury Holidays Nepal.

Upon arrival, our airport representative or driver will meet you outside the arrival terminal with a signboard showing your name and/or Luxury Holidays Nepal. After meeting you, they will assist with your luggage and transfer you directly to your hotel in a private tourist vehicle.

This is the easiest option because you do not need to worry about finding a taxi, negotiating fares, explaining the hotel location, or arranging transport after a long flight.

The drive from Kathmandu airport to hotels in central areas such as Thamel, Lazimpat, Boudha, or Durbar Marg usually takes around 20 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic and your hotel location.

For most of our Nepal tour packages, airport pickup and hotel transfer are included. Before your arrival, we will also share the necessary contact details so you can reach our team easily in case of flight delays, baggage delays, or any difficulty finding the representative.

Yes, your passport should be valid for at least 6 months from your arrival date in Nepal. It is also recommended to have at least one blank visa page available for the Nepal entry stamp and visa sticker.

Before traveling, please check your passport validity carefully, as airlines may deny boarding if your passport does not meet the entry requirements.

Most nationalities can obtain a tourist visa on arrival in Nepal. However, some nationalities are required to obtain a visa in advance from a Nepalese Embassy or Consulate before traveling.

As per Nepal immigration information, travelers from countries including Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iraq, Liberia, Nigeria, Palestine, Somalia, Eswatini/Swaziland, Syria, and Zimbabwe may not be eligible for a visa on arrival and should apply before arrival. 

Visa rules may change, so we recommend checking the latest information with Nepal’s Department of Immigration or the nearest Nepalese Embassy before traveling.

Yes, you can complete the online tourist visa form before arriving in Nepal through Nepal’s official immigration portal. The Department of Immigration says travelers can fill out the tourist visa form before arrival or use kiosk machines at the airport.

Completing the online form in advance can help reduce waiting time at the airport, especially during busy arrival hours.

Nepal tourist visas issued on arrival are generally multiple-entry visas. This means you may enter and exit Nepal within the validity period of your visa.

This is useful for travelers combining Nepal with nearby destinations such as Bhutan, Tibet, or India.

Yes, tourist visas can be extended in Nepal. Tourist visa extensions can be done through the Department of Immigration in Kathmandu and also through the Immigration Office in Pokhara.

Nepal allows tourists to stay for a maximum of 150 days in one visa year, and visa extension charges apply.

Overstaying your visa is not recommended. If you stay beyond your visa validity, you will need to pay visa extension fees and possible late penalties before leaving Nepal.

To avoid delays at departure, always check your visa expiry date and extend your visa before it expires if you plan to stay longer.

Yes, children also need a visa to enter Nepal. However, Nepal provides free tourist visas for children under 10 years old, except for US passport holders, according to Nepal immigration information.

Children must still travel with a valid passport.

After completing immigration, collect your luggage from the baggage belt and proceed through the customs area. Once you exit the arrival terminal, look for the Luxury Holidays Nepal representative holding a signboard with your name and/or our company name.

Our team will assist you with your luggage and transfer you to your hotel.

If you cannot find our airport representative, please do not leave the airport area immediately. Stay near the arrival exit and contact the emergency number (+977 - 9851005129) or the operations contact provided by Luxury Holidays Nepal before your arrival.

Sometimes airport crowds, flight delays, baggage delays, or parking restrictions may cause a short wait. Our team will coordinate with you and assist you as quickly as possible.

Card payment may be available at the airport, but it is not always reliable due to technical issues, bank network problems, or long queues.

For a smoother arrival, we strongly recommend carrying the visa fee in clean US dollar cash notes.

Immigration officers may ask for your hotel name, address, or travel plan in Nepal. We recommend keeping a copy of your hotel confirmation, itinerary, and emergency contact details easily accessible.

Safety is always the first priority. If conditions are not suitable, the flight may be delayed, rescheduled, rerouted, or cancelled.

The best seasons for Everest helicopter tours are usually March to May and September to November, when weather and visibility are often better. Winter can also offer clear views, but it can be very cold at higher elevations.

Monsoon is less reliable for Everest helicopter tours because clouds, rain, and poor visibility may reduce the chance of operating the flight.

Yes, domestic flights in Nepal can be affected by weather, visibility, wind, air traffic, and airport conditions. This is especially true for mountain airports and regional flights.

Nepal’s mountainous terrain and sudden weather changes can make aviation more complex, so flexibility is important when domestic flights or mountain flights are part of the itinerary.

If a domestic flight, mountain flight, or helicopter tour is delayed or cancelled due to weather, Luxury Holidays Nepal will assist with rebooking, rescheduling, alternative transport, or itinerary adjustment based on the situation and package conditions.

For luxury tours that include flights, we recommend keeping buffer time, especially before international departures.

In spring, guests should pack light to medium clothing for daytime, a jacket for mornings and evenings, comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a light rain jacket.

Spring is one of the most comfortable seasons for luxury tours, with pleasant temperatures and good conditions for sightseeing and mountain views.

Autumn weather is generally clear and comfortable. Light to medium clothing is suitable during the day, while a warm jacket is useful in the morning and evening.

For hill stations, scenic flights, helicopter tours, or mountain-view resorts, guests should carry warmer layers.

In winter, guests should pack warm clothing, including jackets, sweaters, scarves, gloves, and warm socks, especially for mornings, evenings, hill stations, and mountain-view locations.

Daytime in Kathmandu and Pokhara can still be comfortable, but early mornings and nights may feel cold. Higher elevations are much colder.

During monsoon, guests should pack a light rain jacket, umbrella, quick-dry clothing, comfortable shoes with good grip, and waterproof covers for bags or electronics.

Luxury Holidays Nepal recommends flexible sightseeing timing during monsoon, as rain often comes in periods rather than continuously all day.

Yes, temperature changes significantly with altitude. Nepal Tourism Board notes that average temperatures in Nepal drop by around 6°C for every 1,000 meters gained in altitude.

This means guests may experience warm weather in the lowlands, mild weather in Kathmandu or Pokhara, and cold conditions in mountain areas during the same trip.

Yes, weather-related changes can happen in Nepal, especially for domestic flights, helicopter tours, mountain views, outdoor activities, and road journeys. Luxury Holidays Nepal plans tours carefully but also keeps practical flexibility for weather-related adjustments.

Festivals in Nepal are colorful, spiritual, and lively. Guests are welcome to observe many festivals, but they should respect local customs, avoid disturbing rituals, and follow the guide’s advice.

During major festivals, some roads, heritage areas, shops, or services may be busy or closed, so the itinerary may need minor adjustments.
