Often forgotten

  • Checked baggage · About 10 hours of travel each way, airport time included

    Many long-haul fares include one bag; low-cost carriers price each bag separately. Check the fare rules.

  • Airport transfer · Arriving by air

    The local transport line budgets getting around, not a private transfer. Check whether your stay includes one.

  • Travel insurance · An international trip

    Medical cover abroad and trip cancellation. Priced by the insurer for your party and dates.

  • SIM or eSIM · An international trip

    Roaming or a local data plan for the days you are away.

  • Tips and service charges · Any trip

    Customs differ by country; restaurants and drivers may expect them.

  • Souvenirs and gifts · Any trip

    Outside the activities line, which budgets what you do, not what you bring home.

About Kathmandu

Nepal's capital sits in a valley ringed by hills and is the entry point for almost all trekking in the country. The old city, the Durbar Squares and the Buddhist stupas are close together, though traffic makes longer trips slow. Permits and domestic flights to trailheads are arranged here. October and November are clear and dry, spring is the second season, and monsoon rain falls June to September.
