 Nepal doesn't follow a strict dress code, but it is always good to wear modest clothes, especially while visiting religious places. Do not wear clothing that is too short, tight, or revealing.

Picturesque Solo India and Nepal Tour
We had an amazing and memorable two-person trip through India and Nepal. We had an excellent guide and driver in India from Delhi to Udaipur stopping in five cities and visiting incredible sites. Then we flew to Katmandu, with the most knowledgeable city guide ever, followed by traveling to the Chitwan jungle with tours led by a local naturalist who knew every animal and flower. It was a very personal and well planned trip that I would highly recommend.
