Such a kind of travel package has been organized to offer a refreshing escape for corporate groups from tedious office work and bind even closer team relationships while at the same time breaking the experience with the rich heritage and surroundings of Nepal.

Here, the group will explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the witness of traditional ceremonies, and experience the city’s unique energy. Next up is Pokhara, a tranquil, lakeside city located within the majestic Annapurna range. Pokhara has all the magic to bring calm compared to Kathmandu, matched only by its beauty: Phewa Lake, mighty mountains, and possibility in adventure and relaxation.

There will be enough avenues for the cooperating corporate groups to hold team-building events, viewing sessions, and informal meets throughout the tour.

Visa: A valid Nepal visa is required for all foreign nationals. You can obtain a visa upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or at designated land borders. The process is generally straightforward, but it’s advisable to check the latest visa requirements with the Nepalese embassy or consulate in your country before you travel. Please ensure your passport has at least six months of validity remaining from your date of entry into Nepal.

Currency: The local currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). While credit cards are accepted in major hotels, restaurants, and shops in Kathmandu and Pokhara, it’s advisable to carry cash for smaller establishments, local markets, and personal expenses, especially when exploring areas outside the main tourist centers. You can exchange currency at the airport, banks, and money exchange offices in Kathmandu.

Language: The official language of Nepal is Nepali. However, English is widely spoken in tourist areas, particularly in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Most people working in the tourism industry, such as hotel staff, tour guides, and shopkeepers, can communicate effectively in English.

Health: Consult your doctor for recommended vaccinations and health precautions before your trip. It’s advisable to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, including emergency evacuation. Common vaccinations for Nepal include typhoid, hepatitis A, and tetanus. It’s also recommended to drink bottled or filtered water and to be cautious about food hygiene.

Safety: Nepal is generally a safe country for travelers. However, it’s important to take precautions against petty theft, such as pickpocketing and bag snatching, especially in crowded areas. It’s also advisable to be aware of your surroundings and to avoid displaying valuable items unnecessarily.

Cultural Sensitivity: Nepal has a rich and diverse cultural heritage, with a strong emphasis on tradition and religion. It’s important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites such as temples and monasteries. Remove your shoes before entering these sites, and avoid pointing your feet at people or religious icons, as this is considered disrespectful. Public displays of affection should be minimized, and it’s always polite to ask for permission before taking photographs of people.
