The official currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR). While credit cards are widely accepted in major cities, it’s still a good idea to have some local currency with you, especially when trekking to remote areas. You can exchange money upon arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu or at local banks and exchange counters in major towns. Additionally, many hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas also offer currency exchange services. We recommend bringing a combination of cash, credit cards, and traveler’s checks to ensure a smooth and convenient travel experience. At Mount Elegance Treks and Expedition, we can also provide guidance on exchange rates and advice on the best places to exchange money.
