      Guidelines – Travelling to Nepal during COVID 19


      The following arrangements have been made for traveling to Nepal, in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic. Visa-on-arrival Visa-on-arrival has been resumed as usual, i.e., as it was before the pandemic, which means that holders of passports of those countries that are eligible for visa-on-arrival will be able to avail that facility. If your country is listed for the requirement ofdk.nepalembassy.gov.np

      A couple tips for traveling to Nepal:
      Bring portable charger for phone
      Bring converter
      Bring a passport photo with you for your visa on arrival
      Make sure to take out money for small things you may wish to purchase as credit cards will not always be widely accepted.
      Use the XE app for money conversion
      Use up all your local currency before leaving the country
      Make sure you have purchased travel insurance
      Please make sure your passport has 6 months validity from time of arrival back to US.

      Do not give money to beggars that you see on the streets. Even though they look pitiful, your giving away of money encourages them only to beg for more. If you really care support one of many charity organizations working in Nepal.

      Be sure to exchange back all the Nepalese currencies before you leave. They are not accepted (or even exchanged for that matter) outside of Nepal . Besides, taking currency out of the country is against the law.

      Do not touch someone’s head or sit showing the bottom of your feet towards them. It is considered rude.

      Do not assume that “ganja” (marijuana) is legal in Nepal . It is not. Even though it is a common weed on hillsides you can get in trouble for picking it and carrying it for consumption purpose. 

      Do not assume that when a Nepali says “yes” or shakes the head in affirmation that it is a done deal or they agree with you. Re-confirm using simplest of words but being as direct as possible to make sure.

      Stay away from dance bars in KTM and PKR. These are tourist traps where they scam you on buying alcohol and food at much inflated prices. Some of these places have a history of intimidation and violence.

      All nightlife pretty much ends by 10 pm with only a few places around the Thamel area that may stay open a little later.

      Bring a universal plug and voltage adapter kit for your Electronics. Nepal uses 220V.

      Keep in mind that there may be an entrance fee to some of the common temples and public areas applicable only to foreigners ranging anywhere from 250R's - 700R's.

      Always have some tissue paper and hand sanitizer with you at all times – and note that some of the toilets may require squatting.

      Insist for a Running Meter in the Taxi. After 10 PM you do pay double of the meter fare however – that’s the commonly accepted norm.

      Avoid displaying food around monkeys around temples, as they are used to snatching it.

      Support the NON-Plastic Initiative, please limit your use of plastic items, and help make Nepal a better place.



      Currency: Nepalese Rupee

      Electricity Socket: 220v/50Hz electricity. Power outlets are compatible with European plugs (three round prong). Be sure to pack a universal travel adaptor so you can still use all your electronic gadgets.

      Language: With over 120 different variations, Nepali is the main language in Nepal however, in main cities, English is also widely spoken.

      As the tourism and trekking industry in Nepal is thriving, English is widely spoken (or at least understood) by most people that you encounter during your trek. From personal experience, while there are still a few sherpas who didn’t speak English, most of them could understand more than they could speak.

      This trip by far was the best self-care trip. They transported us, fed us fab food and led us on hikes at beautiful Zion Nat’l Park and Bryce Canyon. I probably wouldn’t have ever thought to conquer these hikes on my own and then add in morning and eve yoga adapted for the days activities. I can’t forget the beautiful homes with fab views and the hot tub soaks under the stars. To top it off, I enjoyed it with 11 fab ladies from all over the country who I can now call friends. Add in Drew, Allison And Amy (who I can also call as new found friends) who made sure our week was perfection. I look forward to joining Walker Wellness for future travel.

      What an amazing experience! Wonderful people who are now new friends, delicious food, and lovely accommodations. I was so impressed with how thoughtful our team was (Drew, Allison, and Amber) to ensure everyone's comfort and enjoyment. The hikes were stunningly beautiful, the yoga was divine, and the food was creative and deliciously nourishing. I will definitely book another trip!

      This was one of the best things I ever could have signed up for! Daily yoga and hiking is the best combination. Amber, is an amazing chef and every time you walk into the retreat home it smells of something delicious! Drew, is full of Utah knowledge and is so efficient. He was great leading the group on hikes and making sure everyone's needs are met. Allison, is one of the best yoga instructors I've ever had. (I've been practicing yoga for 8 years) she caters class to what folks need and create a really comfortable environment. Allison, Drew, and Amber make a great team and really make sure people are enjoying themselves and all three go above and beyond! I will definitely be signing up for another retreat someday!!

      First time traveling alone. Met the most amazing group of people. Drew was an excellent guide, Allison was a great yoga instructor and the food was absolutely amazing and delicious. They really made my stay perfect. The weather was unseasonably cold but the snow topped mountains were absolutely gorgeous.
