dautarikanchha bro!

transit visa chaidaina! I went to nepal via london this december and returned back same route..face no hastle at all...don't worry..u won't need it.But, london airport is quite hectic..b'coz of travelers queue and security natak.Make sure u carry a single handcarry with you. If u r carrying ur laptop with u...they want it out of ur handcarry or laptop case.Well,my point is nothing to worry about.London airport is as normal as other airports!!

Have fun in nepal..with ur family,friends, and specially GF(s)....

thanx a lot confusion! are you also a student with F1 visa? I think green card holder don't need visa in london.

i am a student too!!

London Heathrow is one of the worst transit airports, please try to avoid London if you can.

i'm also going nepal through London in August.if i want to go visit some my friend in london city do i need a visa or not and i have green card.please help me.

If you have a valid visa that is not expiring (or expired) around the time you are travelling via london, you DON'T need a transit visa. To get out of the airport, I believe you would need a visitor visa. Also, if your VISA expired and you need a new stamp to come back to US, then you would also need a transit visa for london if you are going via london.

You will also need a transit visa if you have to switch airport (Gatwick to Heathrow or viceversa). If you have a valid stamp to return ot US it is not a problem...else there may be some issue.
