Nepal is the most accessible international destination for Indian travellers — no visa, a short flight or an overland drive, the rupee widely accepted, and the highest mountains on earth visible from a hotel terrace in Pokhara.

Why travellers choose Nepal

The mountain views are the reason to come. A clear morning in Pokhara or a mountain flight past Everest gives you the Himalaya at a scale that photographs cannot manage.

Pashupatinath is one of the most significant Shiva temples anywhere, and Lumbini, the birthplace of the Buddha, sits within the same country — a rare combination for pilgrims.

It is remarkably affordable, and the absence of visa formalities for Indian passport holders makes it one of the simplest trips abroad to arrange at short notice.

What not to miss in Nepal

  • Pashupatinath Temple — The great Shiva temple on the Bagmati, with evening aarti at the ghats.
  • Pokhara and Phewa Lake — Boating with the Annapurna range reflected behind, and Sarangkot for sunrise.
  • Everest mountain flight — An hour-long scenic flight past the highest peaks, with every passenger given a window seat.
  • Boudhanath and Swayambhunath — Two of the largest stupas in the world, both in the Kathmandu valley.
  • Chitwan National Park — One-horned rhino, elephants and jungle safaris in the Terai lowlands.
  • Lumbini — The birthplace of the Buddha, with monasteries built by countries across the Buddhist world.

When to travel

October to December offers the clearest mountain views after the monsoon washes the air, and is the best window overall. March to May is warm with rhododendron blooms and good trekking. June to September is the monsoon, when mountains are frequently hidden. January and February are cold but very clear.

Entry and paperwork

Indian passport holders do not require a visa for Nepal. Valid photo identification is needed — a passport, voter ID or Aadhaar-based documentation depending on the entry point — and a passport is strongly recommended for air travel. Children require appropriate identification too.

Planning a Nepal trip with Elitech Travels

Every Nepal itinerary on this page is a starting point rather than a fixed product. Extend a city, change the hotel category, add a private guide or merge two routes and we will re-cost the trip and send a revised plan. Because we publish no departure dates, your holiday is operated in the window that suits your leave — tell us roughly when you want to travel and we confirm availability and pricing for exactly those days.

Good to know

Nepal — frequently asked questions

Do I need a passport?
Not strictly for overland entry, where certain other photo IDs are accepted, but flying is far simpler with one and we recommend carrying it regardless.
How many nights?
Five to six nights covers Kathmandu and Pokhara comfortably. Add two or three for Chitwan or Lumbini.
Can I trek without experience?
Yes — short routes such as Poon Hill or the Australian Camp are achievable for anyone reasonably fit, with a guide and porter arranged.
