Everest from Tibet Discovery Tour
Visa Information
A valid passport (with at least 6 months remaining validity), together with a Chinese and a Nepal Visa are needed for this trip.
China Visa
It is important that you do not make your own arrangements for the China visa since the group must enter Tibet on a group visa. We will make all arrangements for the group visa and include the cost of this (approximately $205 for US citizens, $120 for all other nationalities) on your trip invoice.In order for our agents to process the group visa we will require a copy of the information page of your passport. Your visa form can be completed on arrival in Nepal but you must make sure that you carry at least 4 passport photographs with you when you travel.
Nepal Visa
All nationalities need a valid passport and a current Nepalese Visa for entry into Nepal. The easiest way to get your Nepal visa is on arrival at Kathmandu Airport. Visa fees must be paid in cash. The most convenient currency to purchase Nepalese visas is US dollars, but GB pounds and Euros are also accepted. The charges for the visa depend on your length of stay (please see fee information below). Two passport photos are also needed. Photographs can be obtained at the airport but this may be time-consuming.
Nepal visa fees (Multiple Entry). 15 days: US$25, 30 days: US$40, 90 days: US$100. Note that visa fees can change without warning and we advise that you bring extra cash as a contingency.
Please note that if you are travelling to Nepal via Delhi you may also require a visa for India. This may apply even if you are not leaving the airport unless your baggage has been checked all the way through to your destination. Generally, if you use the same carrier for both legs of your journey (into Delhi and from Delhi to Kathmandu), you will not need an India Visa. Please note that the responsibility for ensuring you have the necessary visas, travel permits etc, for your chosen route of travel to the joining point, lies entirely with you. We are always happy to give advice on these requirements if you contact us.
Note that if you book a UK flight-inclusive package with KE using Jet Airways or Air India via Delhi, you will not require an India visa.
