Vaccinated travelers to enter Nepal have to bring the following documents:

And after arrival, vaccinated travelers will have to take another PCR test in Kathmandu. Once they show a negative test report, they are free to continue their travel plan.
Meanwhile, non-vaccinated travelers have to bring a negative PCR test report no older than 72 hours before leaving for Nepal and a visa approval letter. They also have to take another PCR test upon arrival. After showing a negative PCR test report, they are free to resume their travel plans.
The new protocol also has made it mandatory to buy insurance coverage of Nrs. 100 thousand for tour guides with the visitors.
Visa — Meanwhile, the government has resumed the on-arrival visa for tourists after a year. Foreign tourists should apply for the visa at the Nepali embassies and diplomatic mission in their respective countries.
