As the trail opens up to idyllic yak pastures, hike past traditional villages, solitary Buddhist shrines and fluttering prayer flags.

Visas

A Tourist visa for Nepal is required if travelling on an Australian Passport. This can be arranged on arrival for approximately USD$50, valid for 30 days. Visas must be arranged in USD currency at the border with 2 passport sized photos.
Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.
