How do I get Nepal Visa & Cost?

All foreign nationals, except Indian citizens, need visas to enter Nepal. Nepalese visas can be obtained from the Nepalese Embassy or consulate in your home country or they can also be obtained at Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu upon your arrival. Most of our guests take Nepal visas after they arrive at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Tribhuvan International Airport is the only international airport in Nepal. Immigration Office, TIA (Tribhuvan International Airport) under the Department of Immigration has been facilitating tourists flying to Nepal by providing visas on Arrival. The 'On Arrival' visa procedure is very quick and simple. You can expect some queues during peak Tourist season. If you wish to skip those queues, you can also consider getting Visa from Nepalese Diplomatic Missions stationed abroad prior to your arrival. The choice is yours.

If you have obtained a visa from Nepalese Diplomatic Missions, then you must enter Nepal within six months from the visa-issued date. Your total stay is counted starting from the day you enter Nepal.

Visas obtained on Arrival at the Entry and Exit points are 'Tourist Visas'. They bear multiple Re entry facilities. A tourist Visa 'On Arrival' is the only entry visa to Nepal. If you are visiting Nepal for purposes other than Tourism (sightseeing, tour, travel, mountaineering, trekking, visiting friends and families), you should still get a ' Tourist Visa' to get into the country. However, you must change the category of visa as per your purpose and length of stay in Nepal from the Department of Immigration by producing the required documents. Nationals of designated countries are requested to acquire visas prior to their arrival from their nearby Diplomatic missions (Embassies/consulates) of the Nepal Government.

Please follow these simple procedures for Tourist Visa on Arrival at the airport (TIA) if you have not acquired Visa prior to boarding the plane.

It works for fifteen days and becomes invalid then after. If so, you will have to fill it up again.

2nd Step:

Make payment at the bank according to your visa requirement ( 15/30/90 Days) Get the receipt.

While you can use different modes of payment (at the visa fees collection counter), we advise you to carry some cash to be on the safe side.

  • 90 Days – 125 USD

3rd Step:

Single supplements are also available but at extra cost. The accommodation options used during the trek are very basic.

What is the best season to plan the Everest Three High Passes Trek in Nepal?

Spring (March to May) and Autumn(October to November) are the two best seasons to plan the Everest Three High Passes Trek in Nepal. These two seasons are very supportive in terms of weather, climate, visibility, and trail condition. Heavy snowfall in winter and heavy rainfall during the monsoon time, both seasons will not be the best time to do this trek, however, if you are ready for these conditions we can organize the trek any time of year.

Do we need trek and travel insurance to do the Everest Three High Passes Trek in Nepal? If yes, what type?

Naturally! Yes, We need travel and trekking insurance to do this Everest High Passes Trek in Nepal. It is very compulsory, Trekking/travel insurance can cut back on the major financial risk of traveling such as missed flights, canceled trips, lost baggage, theft, emergency evacuation, accidents, and illness, as well as dead body repatriation. Therefore, be careful while choosing your insurance policy. Make sure that the policy covers five major courses: trip cancellation or interruption, medical evacuation (treatment cost, hospital charges, doctor’s fee, and cost of the medicine), flight insurance (cancellations and delays), and baggage insurance (misplaced or lost luggage). You can also add supplemental policies to cover particular issues, like identity theft, and security and political evacuation (natural disasters, civil uprisings, military coups, political unrest, etc.). Or, get a ‘Comprehensive Insurance’ that covers all of the above-given courses plus expenses caused by delayed trips, missed flights, or any alterations in the itinerary by the tour company. Moreover, the maximum elevation gained during this trek is 5,550 meters; therefore, it’s important to ensure that the policy covers helicopter and medical evacuation up to 6000 meters (some standard policies only cover up to 4000 meters).

Great adventurous trip

We had really best trek with a guide and porter both were terrific and must be the top ten trekking guides in Nepal, the trekking company Nepal Spirit Adventure must be the #1 trek operator in Nepal and they were #1 for 3 high passes trail in Everest region, obviously, 3 pass trail was not easy but Nepal Spirit made us successful, we did not get any trouble all we had the best time, every day had spectacular vista, quality trek equipment were provided by the company, great lodges but not where every base camp of passes, we were so lucky booked our Nepal trip with local professional company Nepal Spirit!!

Adventurous trip

It was an excellent three-highest-pass trek, we never ever did this type of high-altitude trek in our life, can’t recommend Nepal spirit adventure enough if I could give 10 stars I would. Excellent service provider from our arrival in Kathmandu to until departure, Mr. Ram was brilliant as he was also a trekking guide for more than 10 years his service was incredible, guide tul was incredible, and had so much knowledge of the mountains, porter Nima & Dhan were so hardworking, kind and thoughtful and always had a big smile, they even came back to help us carry our packs on the more difficult days, naturally, this trip was not easy but we found great adventurous! We had such spectacular mountain views from 3 passes but a 5-star view was provided from Renjola. It was the best trekking experience and I cannot thank Nepal Spirit Adventure enough, I will 100% be booking another with them again thanks to Ram and Tul, Dhan, and Nima who were the top service providers for the trek in Nepal.

We had incredible trek experience

It was very top trekking comparative other trekking trails but an incredible trek experience was naturally amazing, mountain vista was spectacular and had one of the best Mt. Everest views from Renjo La Pass. We had the best trek guide tul supper experience and porter dhana rai was a much-strung boy both made our trek an incredible trek experience.

The company director Mr. ram was the best person forever his customer service was great because of his decades of experience from the 3 Everest high passes we did not get any problems about high altitude sickness and no doubt that we were not able to do this top trekking three high passes route with his expert team, we miss you guys and huge thanks entire team of Nepal Spirit Adventure especially “ram” he highly takes care from begging to until departure of our Nepal holiday.2022/05/10

Incredible 3 High Pass Trek Planner

We had a wonderful Everest 3 high passes trek with an experienced guide and happy staff through Nepal Spirit Adventure. From the beginning of my inquiry with several different Nepal trek travel companies, Ram at Nepal Spirit Adventure provides the quickest and most informative reasons. There were immediate trust and confidence that I felt with Ram which was important to us as I embarked on the most unique and daring trip of my life and groups. We didn’t know what to expect so I wanted to make sure that I would be in good hands and have plenty of support throughout our Journey.

We wanted to book this trip with an expert Nepal local trek company and Nepal Spirit Adventure was it! There are several companies out there, but they are not necessarily rooted in Nepal and managed by Nepali people, and I know now that we were really supporting the people of Nepal by choosing Nepal Spirit Adventure. We got 5-star service at a reasonable price from the beginning of Kathmandu airport pick up to the end of our top 3 high passes trekking of Everest. By the end of the journey, my group and I felt like a part of the extended family of our tour manager, “Ram” the company owner, and our tour guide Tul- and we are so grateful to have developed such a beautiful friendship with them. Our porters, Tuk, Dhanraj, Bisal, Ashok, and Kaji were also incredibly wonderful, friendly, and helpful throughout the journey. We were able to exchange some nice conversations during our time together and we are very grateful for their support, friendship, and guidance along the most memorable adventure of our lives.

As Ram was trek guide in Nepal and he had done Everest 3 high passes trek so many times that is a reason himself build customize trek itineraries helped us for victory in a very happy environment. We did not have any problems with trek food, accommodation his crew’s reserved always best lodge along the tour and we found the culture of the Nepal Spirit Adventure teams’ expert for Everest 3 high passes trek planner and Nepal base local Nepali-owned trek company, lends itself to a unique, personal experience, which is why I chose this company and why we 100% recommend it. If this post inspired you in some way to take a leap toward pursuing this journey of a lifetime in beautiful Nepal, then take that leap and send an inquiry to Mr. Ram nepal spiritadventure to explore your options and build a trip that inspires you. They are here to support you toward in building an unforgettable and incredible experience in the magical and majestic Himalayas! We hope you choose Nepal Spirit Adventure for your next holiday.

Top Everest 3 High Passes Trek Operator

We were so happy that we booked our great adventure trekking to Everest 3 high passes with Nepal Spirit Adventure Nepal base expert trekking company. We were much impressed with the owner Mr. Ram Thapa Magar from our first inquiry because he replied swiftly included his 3 passes trek itinerary as personally, he did much time when he was a trekking guide. We found this adventure trek company is allied with an experienced trek guide.

The group arrived in Kathmandu late as flight schedule due to international flight connection, NSA airport crew were there even our flight was a delay, inclusive hotel in Kathmandu was perfect we did not expect that much deluxe accommodation in Kathmandu but Ram he booked a very comfortable room for all of us. In universal, we found these company teams were very experienced for 3 high passes trek organizer our trek guide and porter were friendly, trek guide Milan spoke well English and full insurance for everything. Due to the specialized Nepal Spirit Adventure team, we did 3 passes of the high-altitude trek without any difficulties but it was not an easy trekking trip in the Himalayas thanks to the whole team, and really enjoyed this trek, the trekking package was very reasonable. If you guys are planning to do Nepal Everest 3 high passes trek? Without any hesitation, you can trust this adventure company for 3 high passes trek organize.

The owner of Nepal Spirit Adventure, Ram, created this trekking tour company several years ago after building his career as a porter a guide, and then a trek manager over a dozen years earlier. As a solo guide for several years. Ram has personally taken more than a thousand people from across the world on a journey across Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan with the main route being Everest Base Camp with 3 high passes trail. He was incredibly friendly, informative, and delightful and he kept in touch with our trek guide. Milan each day along our 17- day trek to check in on how we were doing and if we needed any support with anything and speak well English. So, we were a hundred percent satisfy the deluxe service from the entire team of NSA, naturally, 3 high passes trek was a very challenging high altitude walking journey and require to pass 3 high passes- Kongmo La 5535, Cho La Pass 5368, and Renjo La Pass.

We did not have any problems with high altitude mountain sickness because of Nepal Spirit Adventure trek itinerary is flexible and we had 3-4 rest days before crossing each pass and it made us a very successful trip. We thank all teams of Nepal Spirit Adventure and will back to Nepal again for island peak climbing.

This is my 4 time in Nepal used different trek company for Annapurna circuit, Langtang and Everest base camp and was thinking to do the Everest 3 high passes trek since last year and was trying to find new experience trek company finally I had met Mr. Ram and his company Nepal Spirit Adventure via online market he provided me wonderful email correspond answer what I ask for my this trip. Thanks, Ram he picked me upon my arrival and the last departure from Kathmandu and arranged very good accommodation in Kathmandu Tibet Guest House lovely hot shower!

I had also a great time with his trek crew on the trek even 3 high passes were difficulties trekked on the snow path, the view was fantastic! I would say for good service and reasonable price travel can use this company even this company has not many reviews on the trip advisor does not matter, trip advisor reviews are only for a day trip not for such ownerless adventure activities in Nepal. I would like to come back again for sure another climbing trip will take your clean services. Thanks, Ram a lot!!
