Best Day Tours in Kathmandu

The hectic pace of life in Nepal’s hustling city of Kathmandu is frequently overpowering. Everyone is searching for a fast getaway from a fairly routine lifestyle, but long-distance travel is also not very practical. Travel spots that can be reached in a single day are the answer. However, you wouldn’t believe how many different tourist destinations there are in Kathmandu and the other cities, providing enough of entertainment. Do keep in mind that while “Kathmandu” refers to two separate places, they are actually two separate cities. Within the Kathmandu Valley is the city of Kathmandu. There are numerous attractions and day trips that visitors and travelers can take in both Kathmandu City and the Kathmandu Valley.

When visiting Kathmandu, you don’t have to be firmly in the “love it” or “hate it” camp. It’s simple to combine the best of both worlds by using the city as a base to explore the little towns and villages that are located nearby. Here are a few locations that are within an hour or two’s drive of Kathmandu’s downtown and would make great day trips or relaxing overnight stops.

Holidays are a wonderful time to go out and enjoy the world, not just spend time with family, snuggle under covers, and exchange gifts. Do not rush to pack your bags and board an aircraft back home! There is a good probability that you will enjoy the nicest Christmas season ever while visiting Nepal during this Christmas because you won’t miss anything wonderful.

One of the best aspects of traveling is eating, where you may experience food that is different from what you are used to. And because eating doesn’t stop during the winter, it’s much more special. You get to taste a variety of foods because there are so many events happening. However, you can still celebrate if you are in Nepal and are not with relatives. You can eat some of the most traditional and genuine food you’ve ever had in Nepal. Some of the traditional foods that have won over many foreign hearts include the Nepali thali and the Newari Khaja set. The top foods include fast food like momo and street food like chat, chatpate, and laphing. However, there are many restaurants and hotels where you may fulfill your wish to experience the celebratory cuisine.

This serene and picturesque village develops over time into a well-liked vacation spot that draws visitors from both domestic and foreign countries. Pokhara justifies the moniker “northwestern jewel” given to it. The town resembles a water picture, with the peacefulness of the three Phewa, Rupa, and Begnas natural lakes set against the serene backdrop of the snow-capped Annapurna peaks. You might like to go boating or spend some time at a quiet café by the Phewa lake. You can either paraglide from the Sarangkot cliffs, jump out in tandem, or bungee jump 70 meters into the air, depending on how brave you feel.

Christmas in Nepal

A nation renowned for its breathtaking geography is not short in cultural diversity. The culture of Nepal is rich and distinctive in its own right. However, Buddhism and Hinduism are the two largest religions in Nepal, which explains why there are so many monasteries and temples there. Nonetheless, Christianity is still a significant part of Nepalese culture, and Christmas is observed there in the same manner as other holidays like Dashain, Fagun Purnima or Holi, Buddha Jayanti, Tihar, and Lhosar. In Nepal, “X-Mass” is observed according to local customs. Nepali Christians are occupied visiting churches, visiting with loved ones, and exchanging presents and feasts. In Nepal, Christmas Day is a recognized holiday. Every year on December 25, people celebrate Christmas.

History of Christianity in Nepal

Protestant Christians mostly arrived in Nepal via Nepalese who were exiled from their country during and before the Rana Regime. Following the overthrow of the Ranas’ authority in Nepal in 1950, various western missionaries as well as Nepali Christians living in India entered the country. Early western mission organizations that arrived and brought Christianity to Nepal include United Mission to Nepal, International Nepal Fellowship, and others. According to government statistics, between 0.5% and 1% of Nepal’s population identify as Protestant.

How is Christmas celebrated in Nepal?

A festival of light and snow is Christmas. Christmas is joyfully observed throughout Nepal with great enthusiasm. Nevertheless, there are fewer people who practice this religion than those who practice other religions. In Nepal, Christmas is also regarded as a national holiday. Christmas shopping starts at the beginning of December. You must go to Thamel during the Christmas season. The entire Thamel bazaar is decked out for the Christmas celebration with lights and Christmas trees all everywhere. Various events, concerts, and programs are held in Thamel throughout this festival. Christmas in Nepal is unique in that non-vegetarian cuisine is permitted. During this festival, a feast is made out of primarily roasted chicken, vegetable salad, and other Nepali cuisines in addition to turkey, pumpkin pies, and Christmas puddings. This time of year, many eateries give discounts.

Traveling to Nepal to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s

There is a lot to do, but sometimes it’s difficult to figure it out. If you chance to be spending the holidays in Nepal, here is some assistance! First things first: be aware that historically speaking, Nepal has never observed Christmas or the “western” New Year due to its demographics. However, given the influence of tourism and its recently discovered secular ways, Nepal observes the yearly holidays. Just don’t anticipate anything very joyful. Consider stopping by a western-style bar in Thamel for authentic holiday décor. Additionally, some hotels display a few ornaments. Except for the cold, just don’t anticipate anything similar to what you’re used to. You may typically see a notice or sign regarding any type of planned party that may be taking place on December 25 or December 31 in these bars. Once they are aware of the situation, the signs are often put up a few days in advance. For a list and map of the top locations, refer to my travel guide. Therefore, Thamel in Kathmandu and Lakeside in Pokhara are the two places to go to find anything Christmassy in Nepal.

What to do in Nepal for New Years?

The ideal location for New Year’s celebration Even in Nepal, Pokhara’s Lakeside is most likely to have a party vibe. Prior to New Years, Pokhara holds an annual outdoor event for a few days. Typically, this entails the opening of outdoor cafes providing barbecue and other restaurant-style fare. However, be aware that Lakeside may get very busy and that alcohol consumption is high. The only celebration at midnight is a public countdown. Private fireworks occasionally last around… 30 seconds! In Nepal, there are no official parades on New Year’s Day. The status quo is in place. A public holiday is a fantastic opportunity to tour the Kathmandu Valley because there will be less traffic.

Christmas meals in Nepal

Nepalese cuisine has its own distinctive flavors and also incorporates elements of other Asian cuisines. Roti, Rice, and Dal are three major food items that are derived from Indian cuisine and are commonly eaten as a staple by Nepalese people. The type of food prepared at Christmas in Nepal has also been influenced by western cuisine. For Christmas, fusion dishes of Nepalese and Western cuisine are prepared, and cake-mixing rituals are practiced in some locations. In addition to this, there is a wide variety of mouthwatering street food to try. Sel Roti, Dal Bhat Tarkari, Thukpa, Momos, and Yomari are a few of the meals usually prepared in Nepal around Christmas.

Where can I find Christmas presents in Nepal?

In Nepal, there are no stores that are solely for Christmas. Therefore, you’ll need to exercise some imagination. There is a tiny toy area at the larger supermarkets, such Bhatbateni. Typically, Big Mart doesn’t. Traditional fare like turkey, Christmas cake, plum pudding, and mince pies won’t be available there. In case one of the expats has decided to go baking, you could attempt the Farmers Market (at Le Sherpa) in Kathmandu on the Saturday before Christmas. If not, you might simply discover some other delicious foods there that you wouldn’t typically find in Kathmandu. Consider some unconventional gift options and keep in mind that you are in Nepal for Christmas. Pashminas and silver or gold jewelry are popular choices for travelers.

What You Should Know About Nepal’s Electrical Voltage and Adapters

In order to use your personal electrical appliances properly while traveling, you will need to think about what to carry. This typically entails the utilization of a trip adaptor, a tool that enables the easy insertion of any electrical item into a foreign electrical socket. It’s vital to remember that neither the frequency nor the voltage are converted. There are three plug kinds that are related to Nepal: types C, D, and M. Plug type C is a plug with two round pins, plug type D is a plug with three round pins arranged in a triangle, and plug type M is a plug with three round pins. Nepal uses 230V and 50Hz for its operating voltage.

Types of Plugs in Nepal

It contains the three different plug types—Type C, Type D, and Type M—in the context of Nepal.

Type C= two pin
Type D= three round pins in a triangular pattern
Type M= three round pins

What voltage and frequency in Nepal?

The standard voltage and frequency in Nepal are 230 V and 50 Hz, respectively. If your country’s normal voltage is between 220 and 240 V, you can use your electric appliances in Nepal (as is in the UK, Europe, Australia and most of Asia and Africa). These minor variations are taken into account by manufacturers. You need a voltage converter in Nepal if the standard voltage in your nation is between 100 V and 127 V (as it is in the US, Canada, and the majority of South American countries). Voltage converters are available on Amazon. A voltage converter and power plug adapter combo is another option. It is not advisable to use your appliances if the frequency in Nepal (50 Hz) differs from the one in your country. However, you could (at your own risk) attempt to operate the appliance for a brief period of time if there is no voltage differential. Verify the appliance’s label to be certain. A converter is not necessary for all appliances. Anywhere in the world can use the appliance if the label reads “INPUT: 100-240V, 50/60 Hz.” This is typical for chargers for tablets, computers, cameras, phones, toothbrushes, and other devices.

Voltage converters and transformers

Globally, there are many different types of electricity available, ranging from 100V to 240V. Using an electrical appliance that is rated for a voltage different from the supply might be exceedingly harmful. While in Nepal, you might need to utilize a voltage converter or transformer because voltage might vary from one country to the next. The regular operation of an electrical item could potentially be impacted by a changed frequency. For instance, a 50Hz clock might operate more quickly on a 60Hz power source. You might not need to purchase a separate travel adaptor because the majority of voltage converters and transformers come with plug adaptors already installed. Make sure that any appliance you plan to use does not exceed the maximum power rating (in AMPS or WATTS) that all converters and transformers have.

Nepal’s access to electricity

After Brazil, Nepal has the second-richest water resource base. It is brave enough to produce the 83,000 MW of hydropower. Although it has produced a little amount of hydroelectricity (a few thousand MW), it has good facilities for power in most areas. The availability of electricity is relatively common in popular trekking areas like Annapurna and Everest, but it may not be present in less popular areas like the Manaslu and Kanchenjunga region, where hikers must carry prepared bags.

Electrical adapters for Nepal: Travel Power Strips

Able to run multiple devices and appliances simultaneously on a single Nepali power outlet. For devices with smaller wattages, some models enable voltage dialogue (for example cameras). Therefore, if an electrical equipment isn’t dual voltage, a travel power strip will still allow it to function in Nepal, making it a portable and less expensive alternative to a power converter. The majority of contemporary travel power strips come with several USB connections. Voltage from power outlets in some places may fluctuate, and a power surge can harm fragile equipment. To prevent your gadget from being overpowered, certain models come with a surge protector.

Will a solar charger work in Nepal?

Although it would take some time to charge, Nepal’s sunshine may be ideal for a solar power bank. It may be annoying to constantly unpack a solar power bank and wait for it to recharge in sunny periods because of how little surface area they have and how long they must be maintained in strong sunlight to supply enough power for a single charge cycle.

A solar backpack’s larger, more robust solar cells allow it to produce more electricity more quickly and can even produce some power in cloudy conditions.

When it’s sunny in Nepal, phones put straight into a solar backpack’s USB port will gradually recharge the battery. However, if the phone is going to be used regularly, it could be uncomfortable to leave it connected to the bag all the time. In contrast to a small solar power bank that needs to be unpacked and facing the sun, a backpack with solar cells is continually exposed to sunshine and may thus be used to charge a power bank during the day.

A bag that is appropriate for Nepal should be able to generate at least 6 watts of energy, have solar cells with an efficiency of at least 22%, and feature a power bank with a capacity of 10,000mAH or more.

Does Nepal have power outages?

What is the best USB charger for Nepal?

For people traveling from all over the world who want to charge their gadgets through USB, a 4 port USB travel charger is the most portable option; however, for those who also want to utilize their domestic plugs, the following power adapters offer bulkier but more flexible options. For travelers visiting areas with unstable power supplies, surge protection is essential to prevent harm to any connected appliances from voltage spikes. All three power converters provide this protection. These power converters have interchangeable type C, I, and G connectors that work in over 150 countries and regions, including Europe, North America, Australia, the United Kingdom, Japan, and China

The snowman Trek in Bhutan

The longest hiking route in Bhutan, the Snowman Trek, traverses the northern region of the country from Laya to the lofty Bhutanese Himalayas. It was developed by the nation’s yak herders.

Due to the challenging weather, length, and altitude, it is one of the most difficult hiking trails in the world, and the majority of trekkers fail to complete the trip. [Reference needed] It starts in Lunana, ascends to Gangkar Puensum, terminates in Trongsa, and then travels to Bumthang District over the rugged Himalayan trails, which may be found up to 5000 meters above sea level.

The path traverses through eleven mountain passes, rural villages, lakes, and some of the Kingdom’s highest mountains, including Jomolhari, Jichu Drake, Gangkar Puensum, Masangang, and Tiger Mountain. Additionally, although there have been no reports of danger, it was stated that snow leopards can be seen along the route.

One of the Challenging Trip to Bhutan

One of the greatest walks for you may be the strenuous Bhutan Snowman Trek, where you may see some of the world’s most endangered animals as well as stunning alpine lakes and massive glaciers.

You will have the chance to learn more about Bhutanese culture and traditions in addition to going on the trip. For those looking for hard, adventurous trekking in the kingdom of the thunder Dragon, the Bhutan Snowman Trek is a fantastic choice.

This journey necessitates high physical fitness and prior trekking experience due to the requirement to hike at an altitude of more than 5000 meters and for an average of 7 hours each day. You will have to traverse a number of passes during the trek that are more than 4,500 meters above sea level. Therefore, only experienced mountain hikers are advised to take this excursion.

Contact Us For Trekking Package

The Snowman Trek: Route Overview

The Snowman Trek is difficult for a variety of reasons. First of all, there is a very narrow window of time during which you could accomplish the expedition. Rain is quite likely to fall during the Snowman Trek because Bhutan has an extraordinarily lengthy rainy season.

The first three weeks of October are suggested as one of the finest times to begin, but even then, you will still be up against Mother Nature due to the altitude, as the highest camp is just 5,050 meters above sea level and 800 meters below Mount Kilimanjaro’s summit.

These facts will either completely turn you off or motivate you to unleash your inner adrenaline junkie and experience traversing ten high passes above 4500 meters.

After a brief drive from Paro, we will start the Bhutan snowman trek from Drukgyel Dzong and head straight towards Jhomolhari, the country’s third-highest mountain at 7314 meters (24,135 feet).

The stunning high altitude trekking in Bhutan that comes after will be a preparation to following the Paro Chhu river valley up into the mountains. We will go through little villages and past Buddhist monasteries to see a landscape that hasn’t changed in hundreds of years.

Bhutan offers an air of authenticity that captivates your heart and mind while trekking since it places a high priority on conserving its natural history and cultural heritage. Look for the renowned Himalayan blue sheep, bearded vultures, and Himalayan griffons as you soar past blue pine, juniper, and rhododendron woods.

The Snowman Trek: Best Season and Cost

A Snowman tour costs USD 7600 per person for three or more people during the high season months of March, April, May, September, October, and November. It costs USD 8650 per person for two people during those months.

From late November until the beginning of March, low-altitude walks are the greatest way to experience Bhutan’s winter because the weather is milder than in the north and rains are more frequent.

Low-altitude treks can be undertaken throughout the year, with the exception of the summer, when monsoon rains can make the routes dangerously muddy. The autumn season is also a great period for hiking, although it only lasts from the middle of October until the middle of December.

Due to the lack of clouds and temperate temperatures in the upper Himalayas, this is the most popular time of year for hiking in Bhutan. Although spring is still not the best time to go peak-bagging in Bhutan, it is suitable for low-elevation treks in the country’s north-central and southern regions.

With temperatures that are lower than in the summer, the months of March through May are ideal for walking along the winding pathways that weave across all of central Bhutan’s slopes and valleys.

How Do Trekking Days On the Snowman Trail Usually Go?

A crew of trekking guides, food staff, pack animals (yaks and ponies), and their handlers will be with you at all times. The pack animals will transport the ration and the bulky luggage. Tents will be used for both dining and sleeping.

You’ll be woken up with bed tea by the kitchen staff each morning. Later, washrooms with warm water will be available. You get ready and pack your belongings after breakfast.

The group will break up the camp and move on to the next location. You will stop for lunch along the way, which the culinary staff will have prepared and packed. Early movement allows the pack animals and their handlers to get to the campsite before the rest of the company. Before the group arrives at the campsite, they will prepare the camp and set up everything.

Can You Complete the Snowman Trek Alone?

The government of Bhutan has put in place some tough regulations for visitors. One is that visitors to Bhutan are not permitted to travel on their own anyplace. They must make their travel arrangements through a company that is authorized by the government, and they must always have a Bhutanese tour or trek guide with them.

You must make reservations with a trekking company that is approved by the Bhutanese government if you want to take part in the Snowman Trek. The Snowman trail’s remote position also makes it impossible to hike alone on it. Since the walk passes through a remote area of Bhutan, going it alone is very difficult.

In contrast to Nepal, there are no accommodations or dining options along Bhutan’s trekking routes. If you wish to go trekking in Bhutan, it’s strictly traditional camping. It is physically impossible for one person to carry all the supplies for a month-long expedition.
