Visa and entry requirements for Nepal
All foreign nationals, except Indian passport holders, need a visa to travel to Nepal. Citizens from most countries can get a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan Airport in Kathmandu, but some countries must apply for a visa in advance. The cost of a visa depends on your nationality and the duration of your stay. Always check the Nepal government website or your government's foreign travel advisories for the latest information.
