Travel tips
Quick local advice for smoother arrivals and day-to-day travel.
1
In Kathmandu, ride-hailing apps like Pathao and inDrive can save you from taxi haggling—set pickup points carefully (narrow lanes can confuse drivers) and carry cash in NPR for payment.
2
If you’re leaving the main cities, buy a local SIM and download offline maps before you go—coverage drops fast outside the valleys, and offline navigation is a genuine time-saver.
