Frequently Asked Questions on Traveling To Nepal
This FAQ is designed to help answer many of the questions asked by people
who are planning and preparing for a trip to Nepal. The questions listed
here, and their respective answers are meant only as a general guide to
help you plan and organize your trip before you actually hit the road.
They are not meant to be a detailed out-on-the-road guide obviously
because you probably are not going to be taking your computer with you
during your trip. For further details and more on day-to-day travel
guidance, get hold of one of many excellent travel books that have been
published over the years. A short list of good travel books are listed in
our Travel Bibliography. Many of them are available in bookstores around
the world; but if you can't find one in a store near you, don't worry, you
can get them in Nepal once you arrive there.
Note that the monetary unit used in this FAQ is in US dollars ($), or in
Nepalese rupees (Rs) unless otherwise stated. The figures quoted pertain
to approximate figures at the time of writing this FAQ, 1997. Since prices
in the Nepalese economy is inflating at about fifteen percent per year,
all figures quoted in Nepalese rupees should be adjusted accordingly. The
figures quoted in US dollars, however, will probably remain fairly
constant between one year and another because the steady devaluation of
the Nepalese rupee against the US dollar generally offsets this inflation.
