Step-by-Step Application Process

1

Complete the Pre-Arrival Form

To save crucial time at Kathmandu's airport, it is highly recommended to fill out the 'Online Tourist Visa' application form on the official Department of Immigration Nepal website prior to your flight. Once submitted, download and save the barcode receipt with your application details.

2

Pay the Visa Fee on Arrival

Upon landing, head to the fee collection counter. Visa costs vary based on your intended duration (e.g., 15 days, 30 days, or 90 days). You must pay in cash using major convertible currencies (USD is standard; Euro and GBP are also commonly accepted) as card systems are occasionally unstable.

3

Clear Immigration

Proceed to the immigration desk with your valid Zimbabwean passport (minimum 6 months validity), the payment receipt, and your online application barcode. The official will process your documents and stamp your multi-entry tourist visa straight into your passport.

Visa rules can change. Always verify with the official embassy.

Discover Nepal

Nepal is a breathtaking Himalayan nation known as the 'Roof of the World,' home to eight of the world's ten highest peaks, including Mount Everest. It offers a majestic blend of soaring mountains, ancient spiritual sites in the Kathmandu Valley, and lush jungles in the southern plains.

Kathmandu
The vibrant capital and cultural heart, famous for its historic Durbar Squares, bustling markets, and sacred temples like Pashupatinath.
Mount EverestLumbini (Birthplace of Buddha)Annapurna CircuitDal Bhat (Lentils and rice)Momo (Dumplings)
Best Time: October to December (Clear skies for trekking) or March to May
Currency: Nepalese Rupee (NPR)
Daily Budget: $30-70/day
Safety & Scams
Generally safe for tourists; the primary hazards are natural (altitude sickness and trek-related risks); always trek with a guide in remote areas; be cautious of monkeys at temples (they can be aggressive); healthcare is adequate in Kathmandu but very limited in the mountains; ensure your travel insurance covers helicopter rescue.
Getting Around
Domestic flights to mountain airstrips (like Lukla) are common for trekkers; long-distance buses connect major cities but roads can be rough and winding; rickshaws and taxis are popular in cities; trekking is the only way to reach many mountain villages.
Cultural Etiquette
Greetings involve 'Namaste' with hands pressed together; remove shoes before entering temples or homes; circumnavigate Buddhist stupas clockwise; avoid touching people with your feet; ask permission before taking photos of people.
Internet & Connectivity
Digital infrastructure is reliable in Kathmandu and Pokhara; 4G is widely available via Ncell and Nepal Telecom; connectivity is surprisingly good on popular trekking routes (Everest/Annapurna) but drops in remote valleys; many guest houses offer Wi-Fi, often for a small fee.
