A popular destination to visit

This land of Buddha has countless beautiful places to show off to its explorers. Most visitors might not be lucky enough to witness all the glories of the country, yet there are few places tourists should certainly not miss out on. The capital city, Kathmandu, rich in its culture with traces of urbanization, the visitors will have plenty of sightseeing to do; from the historical palaces to cinema and shopping malls to botanical garden and meditational retreats, the city offers everything. Next on the list is Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha. Sacred to Buddhists throughout the world, this town has its charm. Lumbini brings peace to all those who visit. Nepal tour remains incomplete without visiting Pokhara, the city full of serene lakes like Begnas, Phewa and Rupa, and the majestic view of mountain ranges of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri, and Machhapuchhre. Many of the classic trekking routes begin from the periphery of Pokhara.

Weather and Climate

Influenced by the elevation, the three terrains of Nepal experience different types of climate during the annual seasonal cycle. The summers in terai are very hot with temperature exceeding 40 degrees; the middle region, hilly, is bearable with temperature exceeding 25 degrees; and the mountainous regions have cool summer. The summers are accompanied by monsoon rain, cooling down the increasing heat. The winters, however, are harsh in mountainous and terai regions, one receives heavy snowfall while the other is foggy throughout, respectively. The hills, however, have warm winters with cold mornings and nights.

Internet and Communication

In recent days, communication technology in Nepal is improving. There is the availability of free Wi-Fi at most of the hotel, guest houses, lodges, restaurants, and bars in major cities and towns. In Kathmandu, there is “Free Worldlink Wi-Fi” throughout the city, besides there are plenty of cyber-cafes where you may use Internet services after paying a certain fee.

However, the same cannot be assured in remote villages. Alternatively, you may use mobile-data; you can buy a Nepalese SIM card from authorized places using your passport. Two networks are providing easily accessible SIM cards: NTC and NCELL.

Local currency and foreign exchange

Foreign currencies like US Dollar, Australian Dollar, Yuan, Euro, and Pound can be easily converted to Nepalese rupees at banks or money exchange windows in the major cities. However, exchanging currency can be a little difficult in the smaller towns and villages, so it is preferred to have the money exchanged to Nepalese Rupee before leaving the city. Also, some banks like Himalayan, Standard Charter, Everest, and Nabil accept international debit cards with the withdrawal amount varying with the bank. ATMs might not always be available in the rural areas, so it is better to make the withdrawal of Nepalese Rupees in Kathmandu, just to be on the safer side.

People, culture, and festival

The common ground of people of four races and 36 ethnicities, Nepal has a rich cultural inheritance. The diverse cultural experience one gets increases the worth of the trip tenfold. One should not miss participating in the local festivals; the feeling of belonging one gets while participating in the Newa Jatras, dancing to the tune of Dhimey, or celebrating Lhosar with happiness are all once in a lifetime experiences. During October-November, the atmosphere of Nepal is merry with the Hindu festivals of Dashain, Tihar, and Chhat, while the Christians prepare for Christmas and New Year decorating the country beautifully in late winter. please contact us for Nepal tour package.
