Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. WHY SHOULD I VISIT NEPAL?
Nepal is an enchanting kingdom, nestled in the Himalayas between China and India.

Nepali folklore is often illustrated in dance and music and the people are open to sharing their traditions.

Immunizations are not required to visit Nepal. (Exception: if you are traveling from an area infected with Yellow Fever, you must have a certificate.) Depending on the season and region of travel, certain vaccinations and/ or medications are suggested and we will recommend preventative measures. We do encourage all travelers to be current on routine immunizations. Also, we recommend the Tetanus and Hepatitis A vaccine. Though still rare, Malaria is increasing in Nepal. The elevation of Kathmandu and places of greater altitude are too high for the species of mosquito that carries malaria. However, when visiting lowland areas, preventive treatment and tropical-strength insect repellent are advised.
