Kathmandu is the bustling capital of Nepal, set in a Himalayan valley and rich with ancient temples, palaces, and Buddhist stupas. It is the gateway to the world's highest mountains and a sensory swirl of incense, prayer flags, and narrow bazaars. Lose yourself in the alleys of Thamel or circle the great Boudhanath Stupa, and the magic of the Himalayas is all around you!

When to go

October and November offer clear skies and mild weather, ideal for mountain views, while spring (March to May) is also good. Avoid the monsoon months of June to September when rain and haze are common.

Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal

From eastern Canada, reaching Kathmandu (KTM) is a long journey with at least two connections, usually a transatlantic flight and then a European or Gulf hub such as Istanbul, Doha, or Delhi. Plan for a full day or more of travel with an overnight leg along the way.

What to see and do

Wandering the shops and cafés of Thamel

Good to know before you go

The currency is the Nepalese rupee and cash is essential outside major hotels. There is no metro and the local buses are crowded and confusing, so getting around is easiest with ride apps like Pathao or InDrive, or a metered taxi (agree on the fare first), while the tourist hub of Thamel is best explored on foot. Nepali is the language, though English is widely used in tourism; dress modestly at temples and expect chaotic but generally safe streets.

Entry requirements and health

Visa on arrival or e-Visa

A visa is needed, and the easy part is you can usually get it right on arrival or online beforehand. Bring the fee and the right papers and you're set.

Vaccines and health

Many travellers get vaccinated against hepatitis A and typhoid, which spread through food and water. Malaria is present in some areas, so ask a clinic whether antimalarials make sense for your route.

General orientation for a Canadian passport on a short tourist trip, not legal or medical advice. Confirm with official sources, and see a travel health clinic four to six weeks before departure.
