Health and Vaccinations for Nepal Travel
This is intended as a general guide, Health and Vaccinations for Travel to Nepal. We highly recommend that you go to a qualified Doctor before your trip to Nepal to check exactly what immunisations you will need.
As a general overview you will need some immunisations although none of these are necessary to enter the country.
- Diphtheria & Tetnus
- Hepatitis A
- Hepatitis B
- Typhoid
- Rabies (optional)
- Japanese Encephalitis (optional)
Malaria:
You only need to be concerned about Malaria if you are travelling to the flat plains of the Terai. If you are sticking to Kathmandu, Pokhara and the trekking routes then malaria is not an issue. There is no vaccines for malaria, only preventative measures, for example taking malarone, one of the better drugs.
To protect yourself against malaria try and avoid mosquito bites, wear long clothing especially around dusk when they like to feed, sleep under a mosquito net and use bug repellent such as deet.
What to pack in your first aid kit!
