Planning your journey to the Engineers Without Borders Global Summit in Kathmandu, Nepal? We are delighted to welcome participants from across the globe and have compiled some essential travel information to help you prepare for a smooth and enjoyable experience.
The primary gateway to Nepal is Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu, which serves numerous international airlines and regional connections. The summit venue, the historic Yak & Yeti Hotel, is conveniently located in the city center and can be reached from the airport in approximately 20 to 30 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.
Attendees are encouraged to check visa requirements well in advance of their departure. Citizens of many countries are eligible for a visa on arrival, while others may require advance processing. Please consult the official Nepal immigration website or your nearest Nepalese embassy for the latest requirements.
Kathmandu sits at an elevation of approximately 1,400 meters and enjoys a generally mild climate. Comfortable business-casual attire is recommended for summit sessions, along with layers for cooler mornings and evenings.
The local currency is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR), and major hotels, restaurants, and shops accept international credit and debit cards. We also recommend carrying some cash for local purchases.
