Nepal uses the Nepalese Rupee (NPR) as its currency. Travelers often find it more convenient to use cash, especially in rural areas and local markets, as card acceptance is limited outside major cities and tourist hubs.
In Kathmandu, travelers should be cautious of petty theft, especially in crowded areas like Thamel and tourist spots. Common scams include inflated prices for taxis and guides, unsolicited offers for tours, and overcharging at restaurants. It's advisable to agree on taxi fares beforehand and use registered guides. Traffic can be chaotic, so travelers should be vigilant when crossing streets. Avoid carrying large sums of cash or valuables openly to reduce risk.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings. Keep essential items like travel documents, medication, and valuables in a carry-on bag for easy access. Use packing organizers or cubes to maximize space and maintain order.
