• Indian passport with at least the validity of the intended stay (no specific 6‑month rule required but longer validity is advisable).
• Proof of onward or return travel (e.g., flight ticket, bus ticket).
• Evidence of sufficient funds for the duration of the visit (bank statement, cash, or credit card).
• Optional but helpful: a printed copy of your travel itinerary or hotel reservation.

Watch out for

• Trying to enter with an expired or damaged passport; officials may refuse entry.
• Overstaying the permitted period; fines or future entry bans can result.
• Carrying prohibited items such as certain medications without proper documentation.
• Assuming you can work or study without the appropriate permit; tourism entry does not cover employment or long‑term study.

• Major languages are Nepali and several regional tongues; English is common in tourist hubs and hotels.
• Mobile network coverage is good in urban centers; buying a local SIM card is inexpensive and useful for navigation.
• Safety is generally stable for tourists, but keep an eye on personal belongings in crowded markets and follow local advice during trekking seasons.
• Road conditions can vary; consider hiring a reputable driver for long-distance travel.
