Tourist Visa on Arrival

Most nationals can obtain a Visa on Arrival for Nepal on arrival at the Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. It’s also possible to get a visa at the border entry points at Kadadvitta, Birgunj, Bhairahawa a Nepalgunj and Gaddachowki at the Nepal-India border. Or at Kodari at the Nepal-Chinese border. If you are outside Nepal you can obtain a visa at the Nepal Embassy.

Although we carefully keep track of changes, entry and exit specifics, information can change without prior notice. Therefore, In The World’s Jungle, advises you to check the Nepalese Embassy or Consulate before your visit Nepal.
