Frequently asked questions

What should I book first in Kathmandu?

Most visitors start with a guided heritage day: the old royal squares plus Swayambhunath, Boudhanath and Pashupatinath. Nagarkot at sunrise and an Everest flight are the usual next steps.

Can I see Mount Everest from Kathmandu?

Not as a rule. Kathmandu lies in a valley, and the high peaks show from Everest flights and from hills such as Nagarkot, only when the weather is clear. Nothing can promise a view.

How far is Nagarkot from Kathmandu?

Roughly 27 km, about an hour or a little more by road. Sunrise tours therefore start in the early hours.

How long does it take to get to Pokhara?

The distance is roughly 200 km, but depending on road and traffic the bus takes about six to nine hours. A flight takes around half an hour.

Is Chitwan a day trip from Kathmandu?

Usually not. Chitwan National Park is hours away by road, so most offers are overnight packages of two to four days; check whether transport from Kathmandu is included.

When are the mountains most likely to be visible?

Autumn and spring are generally the clearer seasons; the summer monsoon brings cloud and rain that often hide the peaks. Even then, a single morning can be clear or not.

Do I need a rental car in Kathmandu?

Most visitors do not. Traffic is slow, taxis and private drivers are common, and tours include pickup. For the valley sights, a tour or a driver is the easier choice.
