Frequently Asked

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a private tour?

Yes — every TempleFront itinerary is run exclusively for your group. We never combine you with other travellers.

Can the itinerary be customised?

Absolutely. Routing, hotel tier, duration, and activities can all be adjusted to suit your group.

Is Nagarkot worth the detour?

Nagarkot (2,195 m) is one of the best sunrise viewpoints in Nepal, with views spanning from Dhaulagiri to Everest on clear mornings. The cooler hill-station air is a welcome contrast to Kathmandu — and October and November mornings are almost always crystal clear.

What if the mountains are hidden by cloud?

Cloud cover at sunrise is possible, particularly during monsoon and early spring. October–November offers the most reliable clear skies. We never cancel a sunrise excursion — the atmosphere alone is worth the early start.

Do I need a Nepal visa?

Most nationalities receive a visa on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport. USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days. Bring two passport photos and USD cash.

What meals are included?

Breakfast and dinner are included at your hotels throughout the tour. Lunch is on your own account at local restaurants.

Is travel insurance required?

Not mandatory but strongly recommended. Comprehensive cover including emergency evacuation is best practice.

How do I confirm a booking?
