| What currency and how much should i bring? |
| The Rupee is the currency in Nepal. It is a closed currency, so you will not be able to obtain any until you arrive in Nepal. We recommend that you purchase your Rupees after you arrive at your Hotel; they all have exchange desks. Alternatively there are numerous ATM (cash point) machines in both Kathmandu and Pokhara that accept most western credit cards. Bring some US dollars with you (we suggest at least $100), as if you haven’t arranged your entry visa in the UK, you will need $30 for your visa application at the airport. All major currencies can be exchanged and credit cards and Travellers Cheques are accepted in the main cities. |
