Other Useful Information

  • Logistics for travelers:
    • Vaccines and Visas: If you are going to visit only Kathmandu and Pokhara, you will not need a malaria vaccine.  Malaria and cholera exist in part of the country but they’re not an issue in these two higher-altitude cities.

      The visa will cost $30 (bring cash and a passport-sized ID photo that you can part with), and you can get it at the airport once you arrive.  To get your visa quickly be prepared by bringing a filled visa form (download from http://travelplanner.com.np/visa_det.php), 2 photographs, exact tender of cash ($30).  This way you won’t have to hunt down forms at the Kathmandu airport.

    • Air Travel: Please contact these travel agents, to find the best rates for your personal itinerary (ask for rates from different airlines).  Pick dates that are convenient for you–the suggested group tour dates are: August 12th - August 26th.
    • Hotel: There are many hotels to choose from in Thamel, the tourist center of Kathmandu. A group rate has been arranged with Hotel Manang for $30/night per double room - THIS IS A CHANGE from our previous arrangement with Hotel Manaslu. Find a roommate if you can!  You can book rooms at Hotel Manang through Niva’s Uncle, Gautam Manandhar - just email him with your information at plannerktm@hotmail.com.
      The Kathmandu Radisson is available at a discounted rate of $80/night.
  • Touring:
    • If you’re interested in meeting local Nepalis in your professional field, email us–we’ll try and set something up.
    • Niva’s Uncle, Gautam Manandhar, can also arrange rides to and from the airport for you as well as tours in Kathmandu and Pokhara.  Email Gautam Uncle with your travel dates and tourism interests.
