Arriving in Nepal

Nepal is a sovereign state, with its capital Kathmandu and with its own currency.

It is supplied by a range of international airlines. Please check with your travel agent for the best way to get here.

Arrival
After disembarking you will enter the immigration section, where you apply for your visa. If you already have a visa, look for the appropriate queue. Please bring a passport photo and cash for your visa to speed up the process. 

For easy cash on arrival there is a bank counter just after the immigration hall. It is open for flight arrivals and has reasonable exchange.  There is also an ATM machine in the arrival hall.

A hotel reservation counter and Prepaid Taxi counter is on your right-hand side as you leave the customs section at the airport.

Departure
When departing on an international flight, arrive at least two hours, preferably three hours early. You need to show your ticket as you enter the departure hall - so make sure to print it out before you go to the airport.. Departure tax is no longer charged by the government.
