Nepal Travel Cheat Sheet 2025: Insider Tips After 7 Years Exploring the Himalayan Kingdom

The ultimate cheat sheet for traveling Nepal in 2025 with insider tips, money-saving hacks, authentic local experiences, and practical advice from my 7+ trips to the Himalayan kingdom.

My Love Affair with Nepal: An Introduction

The first time I landed at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu back in 2018, I was overwhelmed by the sensory explosion – the sweet scent of incense mixing with motorbike exhaust, prayer flags fluttering against the backdrop of snow-capped peaks, and the constant symphony of honking horns and temple bells. Seven years and countless trips later, Nepal still captivates me like no other place.

I remember sitting on a rooftop café in Thamel during my first visit, sipping masala chai as the sunset painted Kathmandu’s skyline in golden hues, and thinking, “I’m going to mess this trip up somehow.” And I did – overpaying for taxis, getting altitude sickness on the Annapurna Circuit, and accidentally ordering the spiciest dal bhat of my life (my Nepali language skills weren’t quite there yet!).

But those mistakes led to discoveries, friendships with locals, and a deeper understanding of this incredible country. This cheat sheet compiles everything I wish I’d known before my first visit, updated with fresh insights from my most recent trip in early 2025. Whether you’re planning a trek to Everest Base Camp, exploring ancient temples in Kathmandu Valley, or seeking spiritual enlightenment in Lumbini, this guide will help you navigate Nepal like a seasoned traveler.

Essential Planning Information for Nepal

When to Visit Nepal: The Seasonal Breakdown

Nepal has distinct seasons, each offering unique experiences:

Season Months Pros Cons Best For
Spring March-May Rhododendron blooms, clear mountain views, moderate temperatures Increasing heat in May, pre-monsoon dust in Kathmandu Trekking, wildlife viewing, festivals
Monsoon June-August Lush landscapes, fewer tourists, lower prices Rain, mud, leeches, limited mountain views Cultural experiences, rain-shadow treks (Upper Mustang)
Autumn September-November Crystal clear skies, perfect trekking weather, major festivals Peak crowds, higher prices, advance booking necessary Trekking, photography, Dashain & Tihar festivals
Winter December-February Clear days, fewer tourists, lower altitude snow Cold nights, some high passes closed, shorter days Lower altitude treks, bird watching, cultural experiences

My insider tip: October is widely considered the “perfect” month for Nepal, but I personally prefer late September when the monsoon is ending and the crowds haven’t yet peaked. The landscape is incredibly lush, and prices are still reasonable.

Visa Information (Updated for 2025)

Nepal’s visa policy remains relatively straightforward in 2025:

  • Tourist Visa Options:
    • 15 days: $30 USD
    • 30 days: $50 USD
    • 90 days: $125 USD
  • Visa on Arrival: Available at Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) and land borders. Bring USD cash, a passport photo, and patience – lines can be long.
  • E-Visa: The online application system launched in 2023 is now fully functional in 2025, making arrival smoother.
  • Extensions: Available at the Immigration Office in Kathmandu (Kalikasthan) or Pokhara for $3 per day. Extensions now require proof of accommodation.

New for 2025: Nepal has introduced a 3-day transit visa for $20, perfect for those with short layovers wanting to see Kathmandu.

Money Matters: Budget and Expenses

Nepal remains one of Asia’s more affordable destinations, though prices have risen post-pandemic:

Daily Budget Guidelines (in NPR, Nepali Rupee):

  • Budget: NPR 2,500-4,000 ($20-35 USD)
  • Mid-range: NPR 4,000-10,000 ($35-85 USD)
  • Luxury: NPR 10,000+ ($85+ USD)

INSIDER MONEY-SAVING TIP #1: The best exchange rates are found at jewelry shops in Thamel and New Road in Kathmandu, not at banks or hotels. Always count your money carefully! My go-to is Thakali Currency Exchange near Asan Tole – tell Raju that Mark sent you, and he’ll give you an extra 1% on the rate.

ATMs are plentiful in major cities but charge NPR 400-500 per withdrawal. I bring a mix of cash (USD) and cards. Credit cards are increasingly accepted in established businesses but usually incur a 3-4% fee.

Navigating Kathmandu Like a Local

Kathmandu’s Key Neighborhoods

Kathmandu is a sprawling metropolis with distinct neighborhoods. Here’s where to focus:

  • Thamel: The tourist hub with countless hotels, restaurants, and trekking shops. Chaotic but convenient. Great for first-timers.
  • Jhamsikhel & Patan: The expat enclave with hip cafés, coworking spaces, and upscale restaurants. My personal favorite area to stay.
  • Bouddha: Home to the magnificent Boudhanath Stupa and Tibetan culture. More relaxed than central Kathmandu.
  • Bhaktapur: The best-preserved medieval city in the valley. Worth staying overnight to experience it without day-trippers.
  • Kirtipur: An authentic ancient Newari town rarely visited by tourists. Amazing local food and genuine cultural experiences.

INSIDER MONEY-SAVING TIP #2: Skip the expensive tourist restaurants in Thamel and head to Thahity Chowk (just a 5-minute walk away) for authentic local eateries where momos cost NPR 120 instead of NPR 300. My favorite is Yangling at Chhetrapati – their jhol momos are life-changing.

Transportation Hacks in Kathmandu

Getting around Kathmandu has improved notably in 2025 with better traffic management, but it’s still chaotic:

  1. Ride-hailing apps: Pathao and InDriver have revolutionized getting around. Download these before arrival – they’re cheaper and more reliable than haggling with taxis.
  2. Public buses: Challenging but dirt cheap (NPR 20-30). Look for the electronic display boards showing routes, introduced in 2024.
  3. Taxis: Always negotiate or insist on the meter (rarely used). Expect to pay NPR 400-600 for most cross-city journeys.
  4. Walking: For short distances within neighborhoods, walking is often faster than vehicles given the traffic.

The Sajha Yatayat green buses introduced in 2023 now connect major city hubs with fixed prices and schedules – they’re remarkably reliable by Kathmandu standards.

Essential Nepali Phrases to Win Local Hearts

A little Nepali goes a long way! These phrases will earn you smiles and better service:

  • Namaste (नमस्ते): Hello/Goodbye with hands pressed together
  • Dhanyabaad (धन्यवाद): Thank you
  • Maile bujhina (मैले बुझिन): I don’t understand
  • Kati ho? (कति हो?): How much is it?
  • Ali kati choot dinus na (अलि कति छुट दिनुस न): Please give me a small discount (my secret weapon at markets!)
  • Mitho chha (मिठो छ): It’s delicious (say this to any cook or restaurant owner)
  • Bistari, bistari (बिस्तारै, बिस्तारै): Slowly, slowly (useful when trekking with guides)

Don’t be shy about using these! My terrible pronunciation has always been met with delighted laughter and appreciation for the effort.

Trekking in Nepal: Beyond the Basics

Popular Trekking Routes and Their 2025 Status

Nepal’s hiking trails have seen some changes in 2025, with new routes and infrastructure developments:

Trek Duration Difficulty Permits Needed (2025) Highlights
Everest Base Camp 12-14 days Moderate-Difficult Khumbu Pasang Lhamu Rural Municipality Entrance Fee (NPR 2,000) + TIMS Card (NPR 1,000) Views of Mt. Everest, Sherpa culture, Namche Bazaar
Annapurna Circuit 10-20 days Moderate ACAP Permit (NPR 3,000) + TIMS Card (NPR 1,000) Diverse landscapes, Thorong La Pass, hot springs
Langtang Valley 7-10 days Moderate Langtang National Park Permit (NPR 3,000) + TIMS Card (NPR 1,000) Accessible from Kathmandu, ridge-top monasteries
Manaslu Circuit 14-18 days Difficult Special Restricted Area Permit ($100 per week) + ACAP Permit (NPR 3,000) + TIMS Card (NPR 1,000) Remote villages, challenging passes, fewer trekkers
Upper Mustang 10-14 days Moderate Restricted Area Permit ($500 for 10 days) + ACAP Permit (NPR 3,000) Ancient Tibetan kingdom, desert landscapes, caves
Rara Lake Trek 7-10 days Moderate Rara National Park Fee (NPR 1,500) + TIMS Card (NPR 1,000) Nepal’s largest lake, remote western region

New in 2025: The Great Himalaya Trail now has better signposting and six established sections that can be completed independently.

INSIDER MONEY-SAVING TIP #3: Instead of hiring a porter-guide in Kathmandu, arrange one in starting points like Lukla or Besisahar. You’ll pay 30-40% less (NPR 2,500/day vs. NPR 3,500/day) and support local economies directly. I’ve found the most experienced guides this way.

Trekking Independently vs. With an Agency

After trying both approaches multiple times, here’s my honest breakdown:

Independent Trekking:

  • Pros: Freedom to change plans, lower cost, deeper local interactions
  • Cons: More planning required, navigation challenges, language barriers, safety concerns if problems arise
  • Best for: Experienced trekkers, budget travelers, those wanting maximum flexibility

Agency Trekking:

  • Pros: Hassle-free permits, cultural/historical insights from guides, safety support, no need to negotiate lodging
  • Cons: Higher cost, less flexibility, potentially rushed itineraries
  • Best for: First-time visitors, solo travelers, those trekking in remote areas, limited time frames

My approach now is a hybrid: I use agencies for permits and transportation, then trek independently with a personally hired guide (not through the agency). This cuts costs while maintaining the benefits of local knowledge.

I’ve made my share of trekking mistakes in Nepal. During my first Annapurna Circuit attempt, I ascended too quickly and developed altitude sickness at Thorong Phedi (4,450m). I had to descend and lost three days of my itinerary. Now I always include acclimatization days at 3,500m and 4,000m, and I carry Diamox just in case.

Essential Gear and Packing Advice

After multiple treks in every season, here’s what I’ve learned about packing:

  • Less is more. Every extra kilo feels like five at high altitude.
  • Layers over bulk. Weather changes rapidly; versatile layers work better than heavy garments.
  • Kathmandu has everything. Forgot something? Buy or rent it in Thamel. Quality has improved significantly by 2025.

My non-negotiable items:

  1. Quality hiking boots (broken in before arrival)
  2. Merino wool base layers (odor-resistant for multiple wears)
  3. Microfiber quick-dry towel
  4. Powerbank (20,000mAh minimum) – charging gets expensive in remote areas
  5. Water purification (I use Steripen UV purifier – saves money and plastic)
  6. Cash in small denominations (ATMs don’t exist on most trails)

Sustainable Money-Saver: Rather than buying disposable plastic water bottles (which can cost NPR 150-300 at higher elevations), invest in a good water bottle and purification method. I’ve saved thousands of rupees and prevented hundreds of plastic bottles from ending up in landfills over my Nepal trips.

Cultural Experiences and Etiquette

Understanding Nepal’s Diverse Cultures

One of Nepal’s greatest treasures is its cultural diversity – over 125 distinct ethnic groups call this small country home. The main ones you’ll encounter include:

  • Newars: The indigenous people of Kathmandu Valley, masters of art, architecture and cuisine
  • Sherpas: Famous mountain people of the Everest region with Tibetan origins
  • Thakalis: Renowned business people and culinary experts from the Mustang region
  • Tamangs: One of the largest ethnic groups, primarily in the hills surrounding Kathmandu
  • Tharus: Indigenous people of the Terai (southern plains), with unique resistance to malaria

Understanding who you’re interacting with enhances your appreciation of local customs and traditions. During my third visit, I stayed with a Newari family in Patan and participated in their Mha Puja ritual marking the Newari New Year – an experience that completely changed my understanding of Nepali culture.

Religious Sites and Appropriate Behavior

Nepal is a deeply spiritual country where Hinduism and Buddhism have coexisted and blended for centuries. When visiting sacred sites:

  • Walk clockwise around stupas and temples (follow the flow of locals)
  • Remove shoes before entering temples (socks are usually acceptable)
  • Dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees
  • Ask permission before photographing people, especially sadhus (holy men)
  • Some Hindu temples restrict entry to Hindus only – respect these boundaries
  • Don’t touch religious objects or offerings

Many prominent temples have introduced “foreigner fees” in 2025, but these directly support conservation efforts. Pashupatinath Temple now charges NPR 1,500, while Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple) costs NPR 400.

Nepal’s Festival Calendar 2025

Timing your visit to coincide with a festival can be magical. Here are the major celebrations for 2025:

  • Maha Shivaratri: February 26, 2025 – Thousands of sadhus gather at Pashupatinath Temple
  • Holi: March 14, 2025 – The festival of colors, especially vibrant in Kathmandu and Terai
  • Buddha Jayanti: May 22, 2025 – Buddha’s birthday celebrated at Boudhanath and Lumbini
  • Gai Jatra: August 15, 2025 – Commemoration of the dead with humor and cow processions
  • Dashain: October 1-15, 2025 – The biggest Hindu festival with family gatherings and blessings
  • Tihar: November 11-15, 2025 – Festival of lights honoring animals, brothers and the goddess Lakshmi

I accidentally timed my second visit during Dashain and found many businesses closed, but the intimate family celebrations I was invited to more than made up for it. During Tihar, my Nepalese friend’s mother performed the tika blessing ceremony for me, marking my forehead with rice, yogurt and colorful powders – I’ve never felt more welcomed.

Off-the-Beaten-Path Experiences

Hidden Gems in Kathmandu Valley

While Durbar Square and Swayambhunath are magnificent, these lesser-known spots offer equally rewarding experiences without the crowds:

  • Khokana and Bungamati: Twin medieval villages south of Patan with traditional oil processing and woodcarving
  • Sankhu: Ancient trade route town with magnificent Bajrayogini Temple perched on a forested hill
  • Pharping: Sacred Buddhist pilgrimage site with self-arising Tara image and meditation caves
  • Nagi Gompa: Women’s Buddhist monastery on Shivapuri Hill with panoramic valley views and peaceful atmosphere
  • Kirtipur’s Chovar Gorge: Dramatic limestone gorge with temples and historic significance

The Nepali Heritage Walk is a recently developed urban trail connecting historic communities in Kathmandu that most tourists miss entirely.

Beyond the Tourist Triangle: Alternative Destinations

Most travelers stick to the Kathmandu-Pokhara-Chitwan triangle, but Nepal has so much more to offer:

Eastern Nepal:

  • Ilam: Lush tea gardens and sunrise views over Kanchenjunga, Nepal’s second-highest peak
  • Halesi Mahadev: Sacred cave temple complex sometimes called the “Pashupatinath of the East”

Central Hill Regions:

  • Bandipur: Preserved Newari trading town perched on a ridge with mountain panoramas
  • Gorkha: Historic palace complex and hometown of the Shah dynasty that unified Nepal

Western Nepal:

  • Bardia National Park: Less crowded alternative to Chitwan with better tiger sightings
  • Jumla & Rara Lake: Remote alpine lake surrounded by pristine forest in Nepal’s least visited region

During my 2024 trip, I finally made it to Bardia National Park and spotted tigers twice in three days – something I never managed in three visits to the more popular Chitwan. The accommodations were half the price and twice as peaceful.

Connecting with Local Communities

My most memorable Nepal experiences have come through genuine community connections:

  • Community Homestays: The Community Homestay Network has expanded to 25 villages by 2025, offering authentic local experiences while ensuring money goes directly to families.
  • Social Enterprise Cafés: Places like Mitini Café (run by and supporting HIV-positive women) provide excellent food while supporting vulnerable communities.
  • Craft Workshops: Try your hand at pottery in Bhaktapur, thangka painting in Boudha, or wood carving in Patan through Backstreet Academy.

In 2023, I spent three days in Panauti Community Homestay, helping my host family harvest rice and learning to cook authentic Newari dishes. My host, Sarita, taught me to make momos from scratch – a skill I’ve proudly shown off at dinner parties back home!

Practical Travel Tips and Common Challenges

Dealing with Altitude Sickness

Altitude sickness (Acute Mountain Sickness or AMS) remains the biggest health concern for trekkers. My second attempt at the Annapurna Circuit was nearly ruined by it. Learn from my mistakes:

  1. Ascend slowly: Follow the “climb high, sleep low” principle and limit ascent to 500m per day above 3,000m
  2. Stay hydrated: Drink 3-4 liters of water daily at altitude
  3. Consider Diamox: Consult your doctor about acetazolamide (Diamox) for prevention
  4. Know the symptoms: Headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, loss of appetite, disturbed sleep
  5. Take action immediately: If symptoms appear, stop ascending and descend if they worsen

Never ignore symptoms or push through – that’s how tragedies happen. When I experienced severe headaches and vomiting at Thorong Phedi, I swallowed my pride and descended to Manang. It saved my trek and possibly much worse consequences.

Internet and Connectivity in 2025

Connectivity has improved dramatically across Nepal:

  • SIM Cards: Ncell and NTC offer tourist SIM cards at the airport (bring your passport). Ncell’s 30-day data package (15GB) costs NPR 1,000 and now works in most trekking areas below 4,000m.
  • Wi-Fi: Most accommodations offer free Wi-Fi in cities and even in trekking regions up to surprisingly high elevations.
  • Everest Link: Special Wi-Fi network in the Everest region works well but is expensive (NPR 600-1,500 per day depending on altitude).
  • New in 2025: Starlink services are now available at major trekking teahouses in the Everest and Annapurna regions, providing reliable high-speed internet at NPR 500 per hour.

For emergencies in remote areas, satellite communication devices like Garmin InReach remain the most reliable option. I now rent one for any trek that goes above 4,000m.

Health and Safety Precautions

Nepal is generally safe, but sensible precautions are necessary:

Health Tips:

  • Drink purified or bottled water (verify the seal is intact)
  • Practice frequent hand washing or sanitizing
  • Eat fully cooked foods, especially meat
  • Pack a basic medical kit with diarrhea remedies, pain relievers, and altitude medication
  • Consider vaccinations for hepatitis A, typhoid, and Japanese encephalitis

Safety Advice:

  • Register with your embassy in Kathmandu
  • Purchase comprehensive travel insurance including helicopter evacuation for treks
  • Use reputable companies for adventure activities
  • Avoid walking alone at night, especially in Thamel’s quieter alleys
  • Keep valuables secure and be vigilant in crowded areas

2025 Update: Nepal has implemented a new trekker safety system requiring all independent trekkers to register their routes and check in at designated checkpoints via mobile app. This free service can be life-saving if you go missing.

Navigating Transportation Between Cities

Getting between major destinations in Nepal requires patience and planning:

Road Travel:

  • Tourist Buses: The most comfortable option for routes like Kathmandu-Pokhara (NPR 800-1,200, 7-8 hours)
  • Local Buses: Much cheaper but crowded and less comfortable (Kathmandu-Pokhara: NPR 500-700)
  • Private Vehicles: Car with driver costs approximately NPR 8,000-10,000 for Kathmandu-Pokhara

Domestic Flights:

  • Quick but expensive option for longer routes
  • Kathmandu-Pokhara: 25 minutes, NPR 12,000-15,000
  • Kathmandu-Lukla: 30 minutes, NPR 18,000-22,000
  • Book in advance during peak season (September-November)

The new Pokhara International Airport opened in 2023 has reduced domestic flight times from Kathmandu by about 10 minutes and improved reliability, though prices have increased slightly.

After experiencing a harrowing 12-hour bus journey from Kathmandu to Pokhara on local roads during monsoon season (complete with landslides and detours), I now recommend tourist buses or flights during the rainy season, even with the extra cost.

Your 5-Step Action Plan for an Amazing Nepal Trip

After seven years exploring Nepal, here’s my proven formula for an unforgettable experience:

  1. Start with 2-3 days in Kathmandu – Adjust to the altitude, culture and time zone while exploring the UNESCO World Heritage sites. Stay in Jhamsikhel instead of Thamel for a more relaxed introduction.
  2. Include at least one multi-day trek – Even if you’re not a hardcore hiker, the 3-day Poon Hill trek or Nagarkot to Dhulikhel hike will give you a taste of Nepal’s mountain splendor without extreme altitude.
  3. Build in a community homestay experience – Spend at least two nights with a local family through the Community Homestay Network. This cultural immersion will transform your understanding of Nepali life.
  4. Allow for flexibility – Transportation delays happen, weather changes trek plans, and festivals can pop up unexpectedly. Budget 2-3 “buffer days” in your itinerary for unforeseen events or discoveries.
  5. Plan a peaceful conclusion – End your trip with 2 days in Pokhara by the lake or at a yoga retreat in the Kathmandu Valley to integrate your experiences before heading home.

Following this framework has never failed me or the friends I’ve guided through Nepal. It balances cultural experiences, adventure, and authentic connections while allowing for the unpredictability that makes travel so rewarding.

Remember, the real magic of Nepal isn’t just in checking off famous sights – it’s in the spontaneous cup of tea with a shopkeeper, the unexpected invitation to a family celebration, or the moment of awe when the clouds part to reveal the Himalayan peaks. Keep your itinerary flexible enough to embrace these moments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nepal expensive to visit in 2025?

Nepal remains one of Asia’s more affordable destinations, though prices have increased post-pandemic. Budget travelers can manage on $25-30 per day including basic accommodation, local meals, and public transportation. Mid-range travelers should budget $50-80 daily for better accommodations and some activities. Trekking adds expenses: budget trekkers need $30-40 daily, while those using guides and better teahouses should allow $50-70 per day.

Do I need a visa to visit Nepal?

Yes, most nationalities require a visa for Nepal. You can obtain a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport or major land borders. The 2025 fees are $30 for 15 days, $50 for 30 days, and $125 for 90 days, payable in USD cash. Alternatively, you can apply through the e-visa system before arrival, which can save time at immigration.

When is the best time to trek in Nepal?

The prime trekking seasons are October-November (autumn) and March-May (spring). Autumn offers crystal-clear mountain views and stable weather but is the busiest season. Spring features rhododendron blooms and warmer temperatures but can have hazier mountain views. Winter (December-February) is good for lower-altitude treks with fewer crowds. The summer/monsoon season (June-September) is generally not recommended except for rain-shadow areas like Upper Mustang.

Is it safe to drink tap water in Nepal?

No, tap water in Nepal is not safe to drink. Use bottled water with intact seals, purify water with tablets/filters, or boil water for at least one minute (3 minutes at higher altitudes). Many restaurants and hotels now offer UV-purified water refills for a small fee, which is both economical and environmentally friendly.

Can I trek in Nepal without a guide?

Yes, independent trekking is permitted on most popular routes including Annapurna and Everest regions. However, some restricted areas (Upper Mustang, Manaslu, Tsum Valley, Upper Dolpo) require both permits and government-registered guides. In 2025, independent trekkers must register with the new safety app system and check in at trail checkpoints. While not mandatory, hiring a guide provides cultural insights, navigation help, and emergency assistance.

What’s the electricity situation in Nepal?

Nepal has largely overcome its once-infamous power cuts. Most urban areas now have 24-hour electricity. The standard voltage is 220-240V with European-style round pin plugs. On trekking routes, most teahouses offer charging for a fee (NPR 200-500 depending on altitude). Solar chargers are helpful backups for remote treks. Many teahouses now use meters to charge precisely for electricity used rather than flat fees.

How physically fit do I need to be for trekking?

Fitness requirements vary by trek. For popular routes like Everest Base Camp or Annapurna Circuit, you should be able to walk 5-7 hours daily with a light pack, over multiple consecutive days on varied terrain with significant elevation changes. The main challenges are altitude and stamina rather than technical difficulty. Shorter treks like Poon Hill require moderate fitness. Regular cardio training, hiking practice, and stair climbing for 2-3 months before your trip will significantly improve your trekking experience.

What should I do about altitude sickness?

Altitude sickness can affect anyone regardless of fitness or age. Prevent it by ascending slowly (no more than 500m sleeping altitude gain per day above 3,000m), staying hydrated, and including acclimatization days in your itinerary. Consider consulting your doctor about acetazolamide (Diamox) for prevention. If you experience persistent headaches, nausea, dizziness, or difficulty breathing, stop ascending immediately. If symptoms worsen, descend to a lower altitude – this is the only reliable cure.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Nepal?

Credit card acceptance has improved significantly by 2025, especially in Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. Hotels, upscale restaurants, and trekking agencies generally accept cards, often with a 3-4% surcharge. However, cash is still king for smaller businesses, local restaurants, and especially in trekking regions. Always carry sufficient Nepali rupees when leaving major cities. ATMs are widely available in urban areas but may charge NPR 400-600 per withdrawal.

What vaccinations do I need for Nepal?

While Nepal has no mandatory vaccination requirements for most travelers, health authorities typically recommend hepatitis A, typhoid, and routine vaccines (MMR, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, etc.). Japanese encephalitis is recommended for longer stays, especially during the monsoon season or in rural areas. Rabies pre-exposure vaccination is worth considering if trekking in remote areas. Consult your travel health provider 6-8 weeks before departure for personalized advice based on your itinerary, health status, and the latest requirements.
