Airports
Nepal has one international airport: Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM).
Usually you fly from Kathmandu to Tenzing-Hillary Airport (LUA) in Lukla to start trekking in the Everest region, but the former's airport is undergoing renovations and so many domestic flights aren't operating right now. This means you need to drive south to Ramechhap Airport (RHP) and fly to Lukla from there.
Seasons
The two climbing seasons are October to December and then April and May.
Visa and Immigration
You can obtain a tourist visa quite easily at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu when your flight lands. The Government offers 15- and 30-day tourist visas for $30 (€27) and $50 (€45) respectively. You can learn more in Your Nepal travel questions answered.
Health and Safety
There are no mandatory vaccinations for travel to Nepal. Note that you do need comprehensive travel insurance that covers you for mountaineering. We also advise speaking with your GP about your travel plans, particularly in terms of altitude sickness.

FAQs
What exactly is altitude sickness?
Altitude sickness, also known as acute mountain sickness (AMS), is how your body reacts to high elevations where the air has less oxygen. It usually starts to affect people at around 3,000 metres (9,000 feet) above sea level. Most trekkers experience mild symptoms. The best way to prevent altitude sickness is to ascend slowly, allowing your body time to adjust to each new height. There are also other steps you can take to reduce the risk and ease symptoms if they occur.
Before heading to high altitudes, have a quick chat with your doctor.
