Travel to Nepal by Road

Besides flight, if you are traveling to neighboring country such as India and China you can travel to Nepal by road. If you are traveling from India, you can enter Nepal from via 5 entry points: Birgunj, Gaur, Birtamod, Jogbani, Kakadbhitta and Pashupatinagar. If you are traveling from China (Tibet), you can enter via Kodari and Kerung. From all of these borders, you can obtain On-Arrival Tourist Visa at the border.

Travel Ticket/Confirmation

 Check your airline ticket in details. Many routes to Nepal require the change of aircraft or double stopovers. Also, in our experience, the greatest risk of lost baggage is if you are traveling on a combination of two airlines. In this case, thoroughly cross-examine at check-in as to the pros and cons of tagging it all the way to Kathmandu vs. claiming it the airport at which you change carriers.

Departure from Kathmandu by Air:

Most airlines require that your flight out is RECONFIRMED 72 hrs prior to departure. If requested Trek Nepal will do this for you. Airport check-in usually 2 hours before departure.
