IMMIGRATION AND LUGGAGE
On arrival at Tribhuwan International Airport, you will
first go through immigration before proceeding to
collect your baggage and then pass through customs.
The immigration counter usually sees a build-up of long
queues, thus, it is advisable to approach the counter at
a fast pace. Please ensure that you have duly filled up
the Disembarkation Form before heading to
immigration. The Disembarkation Form is handed over
in the aircraft by the on-board crew.
It is common for luggage to be delayed at the airport in
Kathmandu. So, we strongly advise you to pack
indispensable things like vital medicines in your hand
luggage. It is common for luggage to be delayed at the
airport in Kathmandu. So, we strongly advise you to
pack indispensable things like vital medicines in your
hand luggage. After customs you will be greeted by our
Airport Representative, who will be holding a paging
board with your name. Please move very slowly so that
you can spot our Airport Representative in midst of the
crowd. In the rare event that our Airport
Representative cannot be located, please contact the
EMH’s Nepal Office emergency number mentioned in
the contact details. This procedure will be followed for
domestic flights as well, which however, does not
involve customs and immigration counters.
HEALTH, POLLUTION, ROADS &
INFRASTRUCTURES Vaccinations are not mandatory but you may be
required to provide proof of vaccination against certain
diseases in order to enter the country. These
requirements are subject to frequent change as
outbreaks occur and subside in different areas, and it
is therefore crucial that you obtain the very latest
information on entry requirements as you prepare for
your journey. We highly recommend that you check
with your physician to verify your particular needs.
Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO)
recommends several vaccinations for travellers going to
India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan.
Guests should bear in mind that the infrastructure in
developing countries, often presents severe and even
insurmountable challenges for those with walking
difficulties or other mobility issues. Guests requiring
such individualized assistance must be accompanied by
an able-bodied companion who can provide it. It is
suggested that guests should consider taking internal
flights to avoid long and difficult road journeys. You
can contact EMH representatives for the details about
the flights.
Guests should also bear in mind that different cities in
Nepal, like Kathmandu, are much polluted and some of
the guest’s mind find it unpleasant. Use of masks is
advised. If you have any history of diseases like asthma
or other breathing related disease you should exercise
caution. It can also be quite warm when sightseeing,
but using sun protections, including wearing a hat and
sunglasses, and drinking lots of water can help
minimize the impact of the weather.
Always keep a mosquito repellent with you and be sure
to pay special attention to mosquito protection
between dusk and dawn.
Public toilet facilities are rare. You are encouraged to
take every opportunity to use a clean toilet in places
such as hotels and restaurants. Most hotels catering
to an international clientele provide western style
restroom facilities.
CREDIT CARDS Major Credit Cards are accepted at larger
establishments in major towns and cities. When making
a purchase, we would caution you against allowing your
Credit Card to be handled outside your direct visual
supervision and recommend that you double check your
charge-slip entries and amounts.
CURRENCY & FOREIGN EXCHANGE
The official currency used in Nepal is called the Rupee
and notes (Bills) are in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50,
