Travel Nepal: Visa Information

Gone are the days when booking that flight you’d always wanted was a leap into the unknown. There is a lot you can do now to make your travel go smoothly. Visiting Nepal is certainly not travelling to Narnia. Infact, it is much easier to travel to Nepal with the help of internet these days.
There are a million odd portals out there selling the ‘cheapest’ air tickets. Make your pick. However, it is a better idea to stick to established portals as far as possible. This will become especially important if you have to make changes and the portal providing ‘cheapest’ fare might not have the best customer service. Alternatively, you can use these portals to browse for the lowest price flights and then book directly with the airline company. Whatever the case, keep in mind, the cheapest fare might cost you peace of mind and hassle-free travelling.
It is also possible to overland into Nepal from India from one of the many border-entry points.
