Nepal vaccinations

which ones do you need?
Are you planning a trip to Nepal? Prepare your journey well as certain vaccinations are recommended. Which specific vaccinations you require, depends on the places you plan to visit and on the duration of your stay in Buddha’s country of origin.

Nepal lies in Asia in the Himalayas between India and China (Tibet). It is a beautiful country that is especially popular amongst hikers and backpackers. Due to the varying altitudes in the natural landscape of Nepal, the country has different climate zones, ranging from an alpine climate in the Himalayas to a subtropical climate along the border with India. In addition to its wonderful natural beauty, Nepal offers many cultural highlights: there are many Hindu and Buddhist temples and palaces to admire, for example in Nepal’s capital Kathmandu – a very popular tourist spot.
