Sightseeing and Monument Entrance Fees

Please note that the information below is as per the information provided by the concerned department. The price might be changed without any prior notice. Updates will be made after verification from official sources.

Nepal, a small yet warm-hearted country, is home to remarkably simple and welcoming people. Its rich history stands apart, as Nepal holds the unique distinction of never having been colonized by the British Empire. While deeply influenced by its massive neighbors, India and China, Nepal’s traditions and culture possess a distinct history and identity, giving this tiny mountainous kingdom a unique charm.

Foreign tourists visiting the heritage sites of Kathmandu are required to pay entrance fees. Many tourists willingly pay these ticket fees, considering the experience well worth the cost. The heritage sites of Kathmandu are truly amazing, offering not only beautiful architecture but also profound spiritual spaces for both Hinduism and Buddhism.

Most of the constructions at these sites have a tantric background. The government, by setting prices for these priceless monuments, generates revenue from tourists who visit them.

Monument Entrance Fees must be paid at the entry point to access Heritage Sites, museums, and other attractions. Please refer to the table below for detailed payment information.
