Details for Nepal

The best time to visit Nepal is during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is clear and mild, making it ideal for trekking and sightseeing.

Must-see places in Nepal include Kathmandu's Durbar Square, the ancient city of Bhaktapur, the serene lakeside town of Pokhara, and the breathtaking Annapurna and Everest regions for trekking.

In Nepal, try traditional dishes like dal bhat (lentil soup with rice), momo (dumplings), and gundruk (fermented leafy greens). These dishes offer a taste of authentic Nepali cuisine.

A trip of about 10 to 14 days is generally sufficient to explore Nepal's key attractions, including Kathmandu, Pokhara, and a short trek in the Annapurna region.

The currency used in Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). Credit cards are accepted in major cities, but it's advisable to carry cash for smaller towns and rural areas.

Nepal is generally safe for travelers, but it's important to stay informed about local conditions, avoid political demonstrations, and take usual precautions against petty crime.

Nepali is the official language, but English is widely spoken in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants, so you should not face significant language barriers.
