Immunizations & General Travel Heath Advice
The following Immunizations are recommended, or should be updated or valid, when traveling to our destinations.

• Check your routine immunization against Tetanus and Polio.
• Immunization for Hepatitis A and Typhoid.
• Longer-term travelers usually more than several months may wish to consider their TB status as well as immunization against Diphtheria, Hepatitis B and Rabies. These will not be really necessary for the length of our trips, only if you plan to stay on afterwards for any length of time.
• Vaccination against Meningitis A/C is certainly recommended.
• Japanese Encephalitis occurs in the lowlands only, usually July – December.
• Malaria is a risk in the lowlands including the Chitwan National Park where some of our trips and extensions visit. There is no risk of Malaria in Kathmandu. The usual prophylaxis is Chloroquine and Proguanil.

Note : For proper advice and timing of Immunizations at least four weeks before travel is recommended. We also recommend a dental check -up before you leave home.
