CUSTOMS AND AIRPORT
All baggage must be declared and cleared through the customs on arrival at the port of entry. Passengers arriving at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) without any dutiable goods can proceed through the Green Channel for quick clearance without a baggage check. If you are carrying dutiable articles, you have to pass through the Red Channel for detailed customs clearance.
Apart from used personal belongings, visitors are allowed to bring to Nepal free of duty cigarette (200) or cigars (50), distilled liquor (one 1.15 liter bottle), and film (15 rolls). You can also bring in the following articles free of duty on condition that you take them out with you when you leave: binoculars, movie or video camera, still camera, laptop computer, and portable music system.
Export
It is illegal to export objects over 100 years old (sacred images, paintings, manuscripts) that are valued for culture and religious reasons. Visitors are advised not to purchase such items as they are Nepal’s cultural heritage and belong to here. The Department of Archaeology at Ramshah Path near Singha Durbar has to certify all metal statues, sacred paintings and similar objects before they are allowed to be sent or carried out of the country.
ATM is widely in use in Kathmandu and all major cities in Nepal.
Some advise:
You don’t have to bring any specialized equipment beyond a pair of comfortable walking boots, a good sleeping bag, and a backpack (frame-less so the porters can carry it in a basket). For a shorter trek, a water bottle, a hat for the sun, a pair of sunglasses, a couple pair of shorts and some raingear are all that are essential.
While if you are planning a longer trek, a sweater for cooler nights, a torch and a plentiful supply of socks are worth considering. If crossing a high pass is in your itinerary more serious winter gear will be necessary.
