Thanks very much - this is quite helpful. I may, in fact, visit Sri Lanka first and fly from there into India before coming to Nepal. Is there a recommended destination in India that will make the air connection to Nepal easier ?

I work for Red Panda Network and we help eco tourists plan their international travel to Nepal several times per year. We generally advise them to purchase their VISA when they land. There might be a bit of a line which isn't fun when you land, but if you're short on time on the front end, it's the easiest way. Here's what we have in our Eco Trip FAQs:

You can pay for and obtain a Visa upon arrival at the airport in Nepal. Please bring the following with you, so the Visa can be processed:

$50/per person
One passport photo. Use epassportphoto.com to get the best rate for your photos. U.S. travelers can also go to a local FedEx Office or pharmacy to get Passport photos. Or you can even wait until you arrive at the airport (where it will cost around $3) to get your photo.

Note: The Visa fee is typically around $50 (depending upon the duration of your stay). If you wish, you can visit the Department of Immigration website and download the application forms and to get relevant information.

Have a great trip!

Manaslu Trek

This strenuous trek circumnavigates the world's eighth highest peak, Manaslu (8,163 m) range and is officially opened to trekkers in 1991. Though it is a strenuous and remote area trek, it is rewarded with brilliant mountain vistas of the Ganesh and Manaslu Himal ranges and insights into the cultures of a cross-section of ethnic Nepalese tribes and peoples, perhaps not available on any other trek.Starting in the historical town of Gorkha and Arughat the trail follows along the bank of the river Budi Gandaki and passes through middle hills and finally emerge into the high, arid desert region that is actually a part of the Tibetan Plateau where people of Tibetan origin dwell and where the predominant religion is Tibetan Buddhism. This trek is challenging while crossing of the Larkya La Pass which requires excellent physical stamina
