How to Reach Nepal:
By Air (Flight): Direct and connecting flights operate to Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) from major cities worldwide. Tickets can be booked via travel agents or online.
By Road: If entering Nepal from India or Tibet, direct transport services are available, or we can provide a private vehicle as needed.
Tourist Visa for Nepal: Foreign nationals (except Indian citizens) require a tourist visa to enter Nepal by air or road.
Pre-Arranged Visa: Apply online through the nearest Nepalese Embassy or Consulate.
Visa on Arrival: Available at Kathmandu International Airport or official land borders. Requirements include:
Completed visa application form
Recent passport-size photograph
Passport valid for at least six months
Visa fees (cash is usually required)
Note: Expect queues during peak travel seasons.
Permits and other fees: For short treks, trekking permits are generally not required for these routes except Mustang tours.
Mandatory Documentation: You will only need a National Park or Conservation Area entry permit and a TIMS card (Trekkers' Information Management System). We will handle the arrangement of these for you.
Local Government Fees: Any region-specific local government fees will be managed and arranged by your guide on the spot.
Banking and Cash Facilities:
Currency Exchange: In major cities (like Kathmandu and Pokhara), there are numerous banks and authorized money changers where you can exchange foreign currency into Nepalese Rupees (NPR).
ATM Services: ATMs are widely available in urban areas and accept most international debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, etc.).
Withdrawal Limits: Most major bank ATMs allow a maximum withdrawal of NPR 35,000 per transaction. Please note that you may need to perform multiple transactions if you require more cash, subject to your own bank's daily limit.
Emergency Helicopter Evacuation: Your safety is our absolute priority. In the event of serious illness or injury, our guides are trained to respond instantly, maintaining constant communication with our Kathmandu headquarters to coordinate a rapid rescue.
We handle the details so you can focus on getting well.
Travel Insurance & Rescue: Unfortunate illness or injury can happen to anyone, anywhere. In the remote mountain regions where we trek, your safety is paramount. Because ground transport to the nearest clinic can be slow, we rely on rapid aerial response.
• Helicopter Rescue from 'nearest place' Kathmandu, Lukla or Pokhara offers the fastest rescue service but is extremely expensive.
• Action Required: We strongly advise you to issue a comprehensive travel insurance policy from your home country or in Kathmandu. Your policy must specifically cover emergency helicopter evacuation and medical expenses at high altitudes ( high depending on your trekking route).
Pro Tip: Please Always carry a digital and printed copy of your insurance certificate and the 24-hour emergency contact number for your provider.
Spring (March – May) Spectacular clear views and stable weather with excellent visibility. Above 3,000m, the landscape comes alive with blooming rhododendrons and vibrant wildflowers. This is one of the most popular times for trekking.
Autumn (September – November) Widely considered the best time to trek. You can expect uninterrupted, breath-taking views of the high Himalayas. The temperatures are perfect - cool enough for hiking but pleasant during the day.
Winter (December – February) Expect crisp, clean air and excellent visibility at lower elevations. Temperatures drop significantly, especially at night and in the early morning.
"If it snows, don't worry! The mountains look even more beautiful in white, and the tea houses feel even cozier with a warm cup of ginger tea by the fire."
Hotel Accommodation & Comfort: At Kathmandu and Pokhara during the package trip, you will stay at 4-star hotel.
• Twin Sharing: Your room will feature two separate single beds. If you are traveling as a couple and prefer a large bed, it is best to request a "Double Room" in advance, though "Twin" is the default for most tour bookings.
