Prepare photos of 1, post them, pay the money, and I'll give you a list after paying the money. Just take the list and apply for a visa tomorrow. Nepal visa is the simplest visa I have ever seen, handwritten, I am dizzy.

After the visa, I visited the Potala Palace. Next is an all-round photo of Potala Palace. I don't want to delete any of them, but they are all open. Usually, 50 yuan RMB is paid first. The sun is so strong that the money is soaked. Let me just look at the business card:

Geography Many people mistakenly think that Nepal and Tibet are connected by mountains and rivers, and the geographical conditions must be very similar, which is incorrect. Nepal and Tibet are separated by the Himalayas, and the northern slope (a part of Tibet) is very high above sea level, which is a famous roof of the world. On the southern slopes (Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan), the mountains are high and steep, and most of them live in valleys or small plains below 2000 meters above sea level. There is no altitude sickness that some people mistakenly think. Reference altitudes of the following three tourist areas are provided: Kathmandu:1300m; Boccara: 800 meters; Chitawang:150m.

Climate When traveling to Nepal, tourists are often most concerned about the local climate. Because Nepal is a mountain kingdom, climatic conditions directly affect the effect of viewing mountain landscapes such as snow-capped mountains. Because of the great difference in topography, Nepal has different climates in different places in the same season. From the cold mountainous area with perennial snow to the prairie. The plains in the south and the mountainous areas in the north are often divided into two levels. Therefore, you need to choose clothes and equipment according to your destination when traveling.

Tipping Nepal is a tipping country. The local hotel waiters, restaurant waiters, bellmen and other service personnel are warm and thoughtful, so you might as well give a tip to show your gratitude. It is more appropriate to tip 5-20 N, but it is not necessary for taxi drivers, because they are generally cruel to foreign tourists.

Traffic is the first, you can choose to hitchhike. Experience fun without spending money, but personal safety cannot be guaranteed, which is highly recommended;

Second, you can choose to charter a car. However, the chartered driver needs to return to Lhasa after arriving in Geelong from Lhasa. Under normal circumstances, the driver will ask for the toll of returning to Lhasa empty, which is not cost-effective;

Third, you can choose related travel packages with reliable platforms. It includes not only the fare, room and board, but also the thoughtful Chinese tour guide to solve your language problems. Make your cross-border trip easy to play. Click the link below to view ↓↓↓↓

You can change money outside the embassy in Lhasa, or at the port, just enough to get to Kathmandu, where the exchange rate is better; You can also exchange dollars in the bank. Some places in Nepal are quoted in dollars, so you can pay dollars directly without exchange. Local China hotels or restaurants can also exchange local currency; The maximum withdrawal limit of ATM UnionPay is 35,000 Nepalese rupees.

Tips: The handling fee for each local cash withdrawal is 500 Nepalese rupees, and the exchange rate between RMB and Nepalese rupees is about 1: 15.
