Travel insurance is particularly important as it protects what happens during travel against sudden and unforeseen events that occur during travel.

Nepal has typical monsoonal conditions with
two seasons a year. October-November marks
the start of the dry season, which in many
ways is the best time of the year in Nepal.

Mobile coverage and internet connection are accessible, not much in remote areas.

Using your Cell Phone in Nepal, especially if you’re going to be using your cell phone a lot, the best solution is to have an unlocked GSM phone that will accept the SIM cards of other carriers, and to put a local SIM card in it. Ensure that global roaming is enabled on your phone before you arrive.There might be some conditions you should be aware of, so check with your phone provider.

It is not recommended to consume the tap water in Nepal. Restaurants will offer purified drinking water, but visitors are always advised to drink bottled water.

Credit cards can be used in several big stores, hotels, restaurants and banks. All major credit cards are accepted in Nepal.Not every small shop accepts cards, so you may need cash for smaller expenses.

There will be cash machines accepting international cards in major cities of Nepal, very few can be found in smaller towns and rural areas, so make sure you have enough cash for your purchases as cash machines may not be available.

Discretion is advised for LGBTQI-travelers in Nepal. Public displays of intimacy by anyone are frowned upon. Nepal is the only country in South Asia that does not criminalise same-sex relations. A landmark Supreme Court hearing in December 2007 ordered the government to end discrimination against sexual minorities and to ensure equal rights. That said, there’s not a big open gay scene in Nepal.
