Nepal Visa for US Citizens
US citizens travelling to Nepal for tourism can obtain a tourist visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport, or arrange the appropriate visa process before travelling.
Current Nepal Immigration tourist visa fees are listed as USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days and USD 125 for 90 days. Visa regulations and fees can change, so travellers should always check the latest official requirements before departure.
We can assist with practical visa guidance and pre-arrival preparation as part of your Nepal holiday planning.
Flights from USA to Nepal
There are generally no nonstop flights from the United States to Kathmandu, so travellers normally connect through major international hubs in Asia or the Middle East.
The most suitable routing depends on your US departure city, airline preference, travel dates and connection times.
When planning a private Nepal tour from the USA, we can coordinate the itinerary around your international arrival and departure flights.
Best Time to Visit Nepal from USA
Nepal can be visited throughout the year, but spring and autumn are particularly popular for sightseeing, trekking and mountain views.
Spring: March to May
Good for trekking, flowers and mountain landscapes.
Autumn: September/October to November
Generally excellent for trekking, clear mountain views and comfortable travel conditions.
Winter: December to February
Good for Kathmandu, Chitwan, lower-elevation trekking and cultural tours, although higher areas can be cold.
Monsoon: June to September
Rain affects many trekking routes, but certain areas remain suitable and Nepal continues to offer cultural and wildlife experiences.
Your ideal travel season depends on whether your priority is trekking, wildlife, culture, photography or a combination.

- Travel dates
- Number of travellers
- Hotel category
- Private vehicle type

- Activities selected
This 15-day itinerary is designed as a private, comfortable experience rather than a budget group tour.
We can customize the accommodation and services to match your preferred travel style and budget.
Is Nepal Safe for American Travellers?
Nepal welcomes international visitors throughout the year and tourism is well established across Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and the major trekking regions.
As with any international destination, travellers should take normal precautions, follow local guidance and use experienced local support for trekking and remote-area travel.
For trekking, weather, altitude, trail conditions and transportation can affect plans, so flexibility is important.

Couples
Enjoy a private Himalayan holiday combining culture, wildlife, mountains and romantic lakeside experiences.
Families
The itinerary offers a variety of experiences without requiring a long high-altitude trek.
Active Mature Travellers
The Annapurna section provides a manageable Himalayan walking experience while the rest of the journey combines comfortable hotels, private transportation and cultural experiences.
First-Time Visitors to Nepal
This itinerary introduces many of Nepal’s major experiences in one carefully planned journey.
Adventure Travellers

A More Authentic Way to Experience Nepal
This is not simply a checklist of famous attractions.
The journey combines Nepal’s major highlights with opportunities to experience everyday culture and landscapes more slowly.
You will walk through traditional Himalayan villages, meet local communities, experience Buddhist monastery life, learn Nepali cooking, explore a historic Newari town, travel through the Terai and observe wildlife in its natural environment.
The Annapurna foothills trek adds another dimension, taking you away from the main tourist roads and into traditional mountain settlements.
That combination makes this a Nepal cultural tour, wildlife holiday and Himalayan adventure in one private itinerary.
