In summary

The Nepal trip cost from India is lower than the Cambodia and Philippines trips in this guide series, because flights are shorter and Indians need no visa. This guide also explains when a loan does not make sense.


  • A budget week costs about Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000 per person.
  • Round-trip flights to Kathmandu cost Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 15,000.
  • Stays cost Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 3,000 a night.
  • Indian citizens do not need a visa; carry a passport or voter ID.

  • A Rs. 60,000 family-trip loan at 14% per annum costs Rs. 5,387 a month over 12 months (1 year).


A solo budget trip may cost less than a Bajaj Finance Personal Loan's minimum amount. Borrow only for larger trips.

How much does a Nepal trip cost from India?

A week in Nepal costs a budget traveller about Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000. That covers accommodation, meals, transport and sightseeing. Nepal draws travellers for adventure and spiritual trips, from treks to temples.


Cost itemLower endHigher end
Round-trip flight to KathmanduRs. 8,000Rs. 15,000
Accommodation, per nightRs. 1,000Rs. 3,000

Travel insuranceRs. 500Rs. 1,500
VisaNot required for Indian citizensNot required for Indian citizens
Budget week, per personRs. 20,000Rs. 30,000

Flights and stays make up most of the Nepal trip cost from India. Higher-priced stays and peak-season flights can take you above Rs. 30,000.

Do Indians need a visa for Nepal?

No. Indian citizens do not need a visa to enter or stay in Nepal, whatever the length of the visit. You must carry a valid government-issued photo ID.


Accepted ID for Indian citizensNotes
PassportValid Government of India passport
Voter ID cardIssued by the Election Commission of India
Voter ID cardListed as accepted government-issued photo ID

Indians can opt for a tourist visa at entry points for official records, but it is not required. Confirm the ID your airline accepts before you fly, since airline rules can be stricter than border rules.

How much do flights to Nepal cost?

Round-trip flights from major Indian cities to Kathmandu average Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 15,000. Fares depend on the airline, booking time and travel dates. Booking early and choosing budget airlines keeps you near the lower end.

What do stays and insurance cost?

Lodging costs about Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 3,000 a night, from budget hostels to higher-end stays. Over a week, that is Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 21,000.
Travel insurance costs about Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,500, depending on cover. If you plan a trek, check that your policy covers it. For other low-cost destinations, see the top 10 cheapest countries to visit from India.

What does a sample solo budget week look like?

This week uses the lower end of each source range. Food, transport and sightseeing come out of the remaining margin.


ItemCost
Round-trip flight to KathmanduRs. 8,000
Accommodation, 7 nights at Rs. 1,000Rs. 7,000
Travel insuranceRs. 500
VisaRs. 0 for Indian citizens
Fixed costsRs. 15,500

That leaves Rs. 4,500 to Rs. 14,500 for food, local transport and sightseeing within a Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000 budget week. Walking between temples and viewpoints stretches that margin further.

How much does a Nepal trip cost for a couple?

For two travellers, the budget week costs about Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 60,000. Flights for two cost Rs. 16,000 to Rs. 30,000. A shared room keeps the stay at Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 21,000 for the week, the same as for one person, so a couple pays less than double the solo Nepal trip cost from India.

How does Nepal compare with other low-cost trips?

A Nepal week costs less than the other trip-cost guides in this series. The figures below come from each guide's own estimates.


DestinationTrip lengthBudget cost per personVisa for Indians
Nepal1 weekRs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000Not required
Cambodia1 weekRs. 50,000 to Rs. 70,000Required, Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 5,000
Philippines10 daysRs. 80,000 to Rs. 1,00,000Not required for eligible stays up to 14 days

Short flights and no visa keep the Nepal trip cost from India well below the others. Nepal suits travellers seeking adventure or spiritual trips on a tight budget.

When does a loan make sense for a Nepal trip?

A personal loan does not suit every Nepal trip. Bajaj Finance Personal Loan amounts start at Rs. Rs. 40,000. A solo budget week costs Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000, which is less than that minimum.


TripTypical costBetter option
Solo budget weekRs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000Pay from savings; no interest
Couple, budget weekRs. 40,000 to Rs. 60,000Savings, or a loan for part of it
Family of four, budget weekRs. 80,000 to Rs. 1,20,000Savings plus a loan for the gap

If you do borrow, borrow only the gap between your savings and the trip cost. That keeps both the equated monthly instalment (EMI) and the interest lower.

How can a personal loan fund your Nepal trip?

A personal loan is an unsecured loan: you borrow a fixed sum without pledging an asset and repay it in EMIs. Each EMI covers part of the principal and the interest due on the outstanding balance. When you use one for a trip, it is often called a travel loan. A personal loan for travel can cover flights, stays and activities for a larger group.


FeatureBajaj Finance Personal Loan
Loan amountRs. Rs. 40,000 to Rs. Rs. 55 lakh
Interest rate10% to 30.5% per annum, subject to eligibility
Tenure12 months to 108 months (1 years to 9 years)

What will a Nepal family-trip loan cost?

Worked example: Amit's family from Patna

Amit is 41 and works as a salaried school vice-principal in Patna. He earns Rs. 58,000 a month and has a CIBIL score of 720. He plans a budget week in Nepal for his family of four, costing about Rs. 1,00,000. He pays Rs. 40,000 from savings and borrows Rs. 60,000 at an illustrative 14% per annum.


EMI = P × R × (1 + R)^N ÷ [(1 + R)^N − 1], where R is the monthly rate and N is the tenure in months. All figures are rounded to the nearest rupee.


TenureMonthly EMITotal interest
12 months (1 year)Rs. 5,387Rs. 4,647
24 months (2 years)Rs. 2,881Rs. 9,139

The 24-month option almost halves the EMI but nearly doubles the interest. The processing fee on Rs. 60,000 is up to Rs. 2,478.

Amit picks 12 months (1 year), because Rs. 5,387 is about 9.3% of his salary. The loan is repaid before the next family holiday.


What can delay approval: a CIBIL score below 650, high existing EMIs relative to income, mismatched document details or several recent loan applications.

What mistakes should you avoid on a Nepal trip?

  1. Paying for a visa you do not need: Indian citizens need no visa; carry a passport or voter ID instead.
  2. Carrying an ID your airline does not accept: Check with the airline before you fly.
  3. Buying insurance that excludes your trek: Check altitude and activity cover.
  4. Borrowing for a small trip: A solo budget week costs less than the minimum loan amount, so a loan only adds interest and fees.

How do you plan your Nepal trip from here?

  1. Price the trip for your group: Multiply the per-person budget by the number of travellers.
  2. Check your ID: Carry a passport or voter ID; no visa is needed.
  3. Book flights early: Aim for the Rs. 8,000 end of the fare range.
  4. Decide whether to borrow: Use savings for small trips; borrow only the gap for larger ones.

Frequently asked questions

Travel rules

Funding the trip

Can you travel to Nepal with an Aadhaar card?

Yes, Bajaj Finance's Nepal visa guide lists the Aadhaar card among accepted government-issued photo IDs, along with a passport, voter ID card and driving licence. Airlines can set their own ID rules, though, so check with your airline before you fly. A passport or voter ID is the safest choice, because both are widely accepted at entry points.

At Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,500, travel insurance costs less than any other line in the Nepal budget table. It covers events such as medical emergencies and cancellations. If you plan a trek, check that the policy covers trekking and the altitudes on your route, since many standard policies exclude high-altitude activities.

No, in most cases. A solo budget week costs about Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000, which is less than the minimum Bajaj Finance Personal Loan amount of Rs. Rs. 40,000. Paying from savings avoids interest and the processing fee. A loan makes more sense for a family or group trip, where the total can reach Rs. 80,000 to Rs. 1,20,000.

At an illustrative 14% per annum, a Rs. 60,000 loan costs Rs. 5,387 a month over 12 months (1 year). Over 24 months (2 years), the EMI drops to Rs. 2,881, but total interest rises from Rs. 4,647 to Rs. 9,139. The processing fee adds up to Rs. 2,478. Your actual rate depends on your eligibility.
