Trekking Nepal? Here is what you need.
Nepal is a UK trekking and cultural destination - Kathmandu, the Everest and Annapurna circuits, Pokhara and Chitwan safaris. Rural travel, altitude and animal contact all shape the vaccine plan. NaTHNaC recommends Hepatitis A, Tetanus and Typhoid for most travellers to Nepal, with Cholera, Hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, Rabies and Tuberculosis recommended for some travellers depending on itinerary. A Polio certificate can be required for stays over four weeks in a polio-transmission area. Aqua Travel Clinic in West Hampstead is operated by Aqua Pharmacy (GPhC-registered premises 1123406, owned by Naspram Pharma Limited) under the Superintendent Pharmacist at Aqua Pharmacy. We are a NaTHNaC-designated Yellow Fever Vaccination Centre and can usually fit you in same-week for Nepal travel vaccines. Book online in 60 seconds.

Travel vaccines for Nepal - at a glance
Hepatitis A and Typhoid
Standard for all Nepal travel. Available as Viatim (combined, one injection) or as separate vaccines. Hepatitis A protects for around 12 months from one dose and around 25 years with a booster. Typhoid protects for around 3 years.
Rabies
NaTHNaC recommends pre-exposure rabies vaccination for some travellers to Nepal - particularly rural trips, longer stays, backpackers, cyclists, children, VFR travellers and anyone likely to have close animal contact. At Aqua we use the three-dose pre-exposure schedule on days 0, 7 and 21-28 (UK Green Book standard). Pharmacies cannot administer post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) - if you are bitten or scratched abroad, wash the wound thoroughly and go straight to A&E, NHS 111 or a local hospital for post-exposure treatment.
Japanese Encephalitis
Considered for rural rice-paddy areas of Nepal during transmission season, longer stays and adventure travel. Two-dose course on days 0 and 28 - we can accelerate for last-minute departures where clinically appropriate.
Hepatitis B
Three-dose course (0, 1, 6 months) recommended for longer stays, medical or dental procedures, tattoos, piercings and new sexual partners abroad. An accelerated schedule is available for shorter lead times.
Cholera (Dukoral)
An oral two-dose vaccine considered for prolonged rural, humanitarian or outbreak-area travel. It also provides useful cover against some travellers' diarrhoea.
Tuberculosis (BCG)
Considered for long-stay work in healthcare, community immersion and family travel with young children in higher-risk regions of Nepal. Reviewed at consultation.
Malaria
Malaria risk varies by region in Nepal. We check your itinerary against NaTHNaC and either prescribe atovaquone/proguanil, doxycycline or mefloquine for higher-risk areas, or confirm you do not need cover. Bite avoidance advice (DEET, long sleeves at dawn and dusk) is included.
