Nepal 360°: the temples of Kathmandu and the peaks of Annapurna

This journey begins at Kathmandu. On the first day, we meet at 18:00.

Your Group Leader will add you to the WhatsApp group for your trip about 15 days before departure.
 It’s a great way to start getting to know your travel mates, receive more details about the first day’s meeting point, and ask any pre-departure questions you might have.

This journey ends at Kathmandu. On the last day, you are free to leave at any time, so whether you need to book a flight, a train, or wish to continue the journey on your own, you can organize your return as you prefer.

For this itinerary, traveling with a backpack is mandatory for logistical reasons and the convenience of the entire group - including yourself! Trolleys, bulky suitcases, or hard luggage are not allowed. The Travel Group Leader will provide guidance on the ideal baggage before departure via the WhatsApp group.

Return international flights are not included on our trips because we want to give you full autonomy and flexibility. You can choose your preferred airline, fly from the airport that works best for you, and decide how many stopovers you want to make along the way.

As flights are not included, you also have more flexibility with your travel dates: you could arrive at your destination a few days early or return home a bit later – or even continue independently to a nearby destination!

It depends on when you cancel, the status of your departure, and how much you have already paid. Here are all the cases.

The deposit is fully refunded only if WeRoad does not confirm the tour.

Things to know

You can change your trip up to 3 times from your MyWeRoad personal area. Further changes must be requested by contacting our team at hello@weroad.com.
The new trip must depart within 12 months from the original departure date.
If your original booking included a private room, Flexible Cancellation, discount codes, gift cards, or vouchers, we will notify you before confirmation if they cannot be applied to the new trip.

You cannot switch to sold-out trips. For “On request” departures, we will check availability. For “Last spots” departures, availability in rooms of your same gender may not be guaranteed.
If there is a price adjustment: if the new trip costs less, we will refund the difference; if it costs more, you will need to pay the difference.

In some cases – for example when a departure is not yet confirmed and it is your first unconfirmed booking – you can book without paying the €/£/$100 deposit upfront.

This means that you can secure your spot at zero cost: nothing will be charged until the departure is confirmed. Once the departure is confirmed, the €/£/$100 deposit will be automatically charged within 48 hours according to the terms agreed at the time of booking.

Yes, but fees are non-refundable. If your plans change, you can modify your trip free of charge up to 31 days before departure.

How cancellation works Fees paid are not refundable in cash, regardless of whether your trip is confirmed or not. You can move your booking to another trip free of charge, up to 31 days before departure. After this deadline, changes are no longer possible.
Please note: if it's your first unconfirmed booking, you will only be asked to provide a credit card, PayPal, or Revolut as a guarantee, but nothing will be charged. From the second unconfirmed booking onwards, a mandatory £/$100 deposit will be required.

Exception: trip not confirmed by WeRoad If you wish to cancel, the rules above always apply. However, if WeRoad is the one not confirming the trip, you are entitled to a full refund of any amount paid.

Yes! We might not know the flights for everyone else in the group, but there are ways to find out which flights your fellow WeRoaders will be taking. 

1. All travellers can share their flight details after booking on their My WeRoad account so that other travellers on the same trip can see these details anonymously. 

2. Alternatively you can join our Facebook group: Solo Travellers | WeRoad Community – (here is the extended link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/963298767843213 ) Look for a post about the trip you’re interested in or ask the group admin for help in getting in touch with your future travel companions!

3. If the Group Leader has already been assigned to the trip you’re keen for, you can easily find their Facebook post on the website. 

If a departure is “Open to book”, it means that the trip is not yet confirmed and we are waiting for a few more bookings… maybe yours!

The good news? If it’s your first booking on an unconfirmed departure, you can book without paying anything! Just. leave your credit card details as a guarantee: no immediate charge, €/£/$0 deposit.
In the meantime, wait for the departure to be confirmed before purchasing your round-trip flights!

Generally, our groups have an average of 11 people. Everyone on our trips speaks English, and travellers join us from across the UK, Europe and beyond. Our trips are open to travelers between 18 and 49 years old. The indicated age is meant to give you an idea of the type of group, but it's not a strict limit: it's possible to participate even with a few years more or less, as long as you can keep up with the pace and energy of the group you're traveling with.

Each group will be joined and led by one of our experienced Group Leaders, who’s there to ensure everything runs smoothly and the group feels well-supported. 

If you’d like to know more about our typical WeRoad groups do reach out to us on WhatsApp on +44 7716573700. 

Yes! If you're curious, you can take a sneak peek at the group before booking. 
You’ll find the info in the ‘Group’ section for each trip on the departures page, showing how many WeRoaders have already booked. 

Click the little arrow and you’ll even see their gender and ages – but hey, that’s exclusive info, so we’ll ask you to log in or sign up to see that!

For our trips we usually use locally owned accommodation instead of big hotel chains. It’s our favourite way to really experience the local culture and, whenever we can, support the local economy. Typically, you’ll stay in hotels, apartments, guesthouses and hostels with the same standard maintained across all trips in the same destination.

The list of accommodation for your trip will be shared with you by your Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful details for your adventure!

For some trips, in the itinerary section, you’ll find the number of nights and the location (not the hotel) where you’ll be spending the night(s). The location shown is the one we usually go for on most trips, but in some cases, you might stay in a nearby town. This will depend on logistics or availability of accommodation. 

The list of accommodation for your trip (and therefore also the exact locations) will be shared by your Travel Group Leader 2-5 days before departure, along with other useful information for your adventure!

The WeRoad Travel Group Leader is an experienced and skilled traveler who will be the perfect companion for your trip. They will manage all the logistical aspects of the itinerary like transport, timings, accommodation, restaurant bookings and meeting points, so that you can enjoy the trip without this hassle. They’re there to support the group, ensure everything runs smoothly and will no doubt make the trip a lot of fun along the way too! 

The Group Leader will set up a WhatsApp group approximately 2 weeks before departure. This will be the moment to ask any pre-departure questions and get to know the rest of the group! If the trip you are interested in already has a Travel Group Leader assigned, you can contact them before booking. Their details will be on the trip page, or you can search for their name here. After booking, you will find their contact details in your My WeRoad account, under ‘Bookings and Trips’ > ‘Your Upcoming Trips’ > ‘Trip Details’.

When you set off on a WeRoad trip, you’re officially a WeRoader – and as we often say, 'once a WeRoader, always a WeRoader'. This means that once you’re part of the community, a little piece of WeRoad will always stay with you.

But you’re not just a WeRoader during your trips, far from it! The community is alive and active all year round: you can stay in touch by following and interacting on our social media channels, like the Facebook group or the Instagram profile. You can also come along to one of our many events that we run in different cities worldwide. Check out and sign up to our events by downloading the WeMeet app here. 

Yes, on all our trips you will share a room with other WeRoaders in your group. The bathroom will either be private or shared only with other travelers on the trip. The rooms might be twins, triples, quadruples or multi-share (up to 8 people in exceptional cases), depending on the destination and availability.

You will never share with people from outside of the WeRoad group, except in certain cases for local experiences, which are specifically mentioned in the itinerary or communicated before booking. These typically involve specific nights in unique accommodation like tents, homestays, or camping, offering a more adventurous travel experience in exchange for some comfort.

During the booking process, you can also choose to stay in a mixed-gender room. If needed, only travelers who have opted in to this option may share a room with travel companions of a different gender.

On some of our trips we can offer a private room for an additional cost. Just tick the ‘Private Room’ option at checkout to get this added. For some of our trips if you book as two travelers together you can add this private room free of charge. Look out for this option at checkout. 

Please note that if you do book a private room with a friend/partner this could be either a double or a twin room so please email hello@weroad.com if you have a preference on this. 

Find out the entry requirements for Nepal, and, if needed, apply for your visa through our partner Sherpa.

Before traveling, always remember to check the government website of your country of origin for updates on the entry requirements for Nepal – you wouldn’t want to stay home due to a bureaucratic detail!

• UK residents: review the FCDO Travel Advice.
• US residents: consult the US Department of State Travel Advice.
• Other residents: refer to your government or local consulate's travel advice.

Nepal is in the Nepal Time Zone, which is 5 hours and 45 minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+5:45). If it is 12pm in the UK, it will be 5:45pm in Nepal. If it is 12pm in New York, USA, it will be 10:45pm in Nepal. Keep in mind that Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference remains constant throughout the year.

Nepal uses the Nepalese Rupee (NPR) as its currency. The daily exchange rate can vary, but you might expect approximately:

• 160 NPR for 1 GBP
• 120 NPR for 1 USD
• 130 NPR for 1 EUR

Currency can be exchanged at banks, authorized money changers, and some hotels. Always make sure to get a receipt for any currency exchange you make.

You'll find that in Nepal, you can pay using cash, credit cards, and mobile payment apps. Cash is widely accepted, especially in smaller towns and rural areas, so it's handy to keep some Nepali rupees on you. Major credit cards like Visa and MasterCard are accepted in most hotels, restaurants, and shops in larger cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, but it's good to double-check before making a purchase. For a more seamless experience, you might also consider using mobile payment services that are gaining popularity, such as eSewa or Khalti.

Tipping in Nepal is not mandatory, but it's appreciated, especially in the tourism industry. In restaurants, you can leave around 10 percent of the bill if a service charge isn't included. For guides and porters, tipping is customary and expected, usually at the end of a trek or tour. Consider tipping guides around 10 percent of the tour cost and porters a bit less. In taxis, rounding up the fare is common. Remember, tips are an important part of income for many workers in Nepal.

In Nepal, internet access can be a bit spotty, especially in rural areas. While Wi-Fi is commonly available in hotels, cafes, and restaurants in cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, the speed can vary. For more reliable internet access while traveling around, we recommend you buy a local SIM card or an e-SIM data plan. Major providers include Ncell and Nepal Telecom, and you can purchase SIM cards at the airport or local shops. This will help ensure you stay connected even in more remote areas.

Nepal's official language is Nepali. It's widely spoken across the country, but you'll also find a variety of other languages, especially in different regions and among various ethnic groups. Here are some useful Nepali expressions you might hear or use:

• Hello: Namaste
• Thank you: Dhanyabad
• Yes: Ho
• No: Hoina
• How much?: Kati ho?

Having a few basic phrases can help in getting around and interacting with locals.

In Nepal, the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz. The plugs used are mostly Type C, D, and M. Since these are different from those used in many European countries and the USA, we suggest bringing a universal adapter to ensure your devices can be charged without any hiccups.

The main religion in Nepal is Hinduism, with a significant portion of the population practicing it. Important religious holidays include:

• Dashain, a major festival celebrating the victory of good over evil.
• Tihar, which is similar to Diwali and involves the worship of animals and brothers.
• Another key festival is Holi, the festival of colors, which is widely celebrated.

While Hinduism is predominant, there are also communities practicing Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity in the country.

Packing for Nepal can be quite an adventure due to its diverse climate and terrain. Here's a handy guide to help you prepare your backpack:

• Clothing:
  • Lightweight shirts
  • Warm fleece or jacket
  • Waterproof jacket
  • Trekking pants
  • Thermal base layers
• Shoes:
  • Comfortable trekking boots
  • Sandals or flip-flops
  • Warm socks
• Accessories and Technology:
  • Hat or cap
  • Sunglasses
  • Power bank
  • Camera with spare batteries
  • Travel adapter (Nepal uses type C, D, and M plugs)
• Toiletries and Medication:
  • Travel-sized toiletries
  • Sunscreen
  • Insect repellent
  • Basic first aid kit
  • Common travel medications like anti-diarrheal, pain relievers, and antihistamines

This list should cover the essentials for your trip to Nepal, keeping you prepared for both trekking and city exploration.

Nepal's weather varies significantly by region and altitude, so here's a quick breakdown:

• Kathmandu Valley and Central Nepal: Generally mild, with warm summers and cool winters. The best time to visit is from October to December and March to April when the weather is pleasant.
• Terai Region (Southern Nepal): Hot and humid, especially from May to September. Winters are mild. October to March is ideal for cooler weather.
• Himalayan Region: Cold year-round with heavy snowfall in winter. Trekking is best from March to May and September to November when trails are clear.

Overall, Nepal has a monsoon season from June to September, so if you're not a fan of rain, you might want to avoid visiting during these months.
