If you’d like your own room in each hotel, please let us know. An additional expense is applicable. Please note that booking a single room is subject to availability in Lobuche and Gorakhshep.

• | Passport |
• | Visa |

We’ll send terms and conditions, along with payment details. To confirm your spot, please pay 50% of the trip cost in advance.
Note: Full payment to be made at least 7 days before trip departure.
A few days before the trip, the lead guide will host a small briefing to discuss logistics and safety matters, and also answer any questions you have.
Do some light training and set your gears. Then off to the mountains we go!
Accommodation is on twin-sharing basis, which means there will be two people to a room. If you are travelling solo, we can assign a room partner (with someone of the same gender if you so prefer) or if you are travelling with someone you know, you can share the room with them. For families with kids, room allocation depends on your preference and room availability. A separate single room can be arranged for an additional charge – please find details in Prices section above.
The baggage limit is 20kgs per passenger, a policy set by the airlines for Lukla flights. Excess weight is allowed at an additional expense. However, we recommend sticking to the weight limit as the porters would need to carry it throughout the trek.
One lead guide and assistant guides (depending on the number of trekkers) will accompany you on the trek. All our team members are highly experienced in the mountains, with adequate trail knowledge and first aid training. Feel free to reach out to anyone for any kind of queries or emergencies as we leave no stone unturned to give you a great mountain experience.
On the trails: We require everybody to respect and follow health guidelines issued by the local destinations if any.
Service providers: We’ve handpicked hotels that specialize in quality service and prioritize health and safety of their clients.
Airlines protocol: Most domestic airlines have suspended their in-flight services and require the passengers to wear a mask.
You must obtain travel insurance for the trek. This should cover emergency evacuation and medical expenses. Make sure that the policy also covers you for height up to 5000m (16405ft) above sea level prior to purchase as the majority only cover up to 4000m (13124ft).
The guide will have a well-equipped first-aid kit at all times. It’s best to avoid common problems like foot blisters and knee pain with proper packing. Please go through our equipment and medical checklist for better preparedness. If you have any pre-existing health conditions please let us know when booking.
Pack your passport, flight tickets, phone, wallet, camera equipment, cash, and all your valuables in your day pack or waist belt. Please don’t leave them in the vehicle. Please don’t bring or carry expensive items like jewellery etc or a large sum of cash while travelling for security reasons.
You can refill your water bottle with boiled or bottled drinking water available at lunch spots and hotels. Your guide will carry plenty of drinking water, so please ask him/her if you need a refill. We highly discourage buying plastic water bottles during the trek for environmental reasons.
If you’re looking to purify untreated water, steriPEN, LifeStraw, or purification tablets can be good alternatives.
If you have any issues or emergencies while trekking, please contact the lead guide or anyone from the team. They will help you contact the nearby hospitals, transport, ambulance, police office, army checkpoints, embassy, and even facilitate rescue operations.
We will also send you a list of relevant emergency contacts before the trip starts.
Please don’t litter, and also dispose any trash properly (you can hand them to your guide). Plucking flowers and vandalizing trails is off limits. We’ll leave the beautiful trails as we found them.
Heavy alcohol consumption dehydrates your body and doesn’t pair well with trekking for obvious safety reasons. We recommend you limit your alcohol intake to a minimal amount during day time. Let’s wait till the evening to raise a glass or two.
It’s advisable to ask permission of the locals before taking their photos, although by experience we can tell that they love being photographed. Strict drone policies are enforced throughout Nepal – so please don’t fly drones on the trip.
What makes group travel fun is the diversity. This also means that there will be people of all different ages, physical fitness, and walking pace. Please be mindful and respect the time allocated by your lead guide to avoid any inconvenience to the group.
Possible expenses, other than meals, could be drinks, laundry, tipping, and shopping. Please make sure you have read the inclusions thoroughly so you know what you might need to pay for while travelling.
Our trips are planned to the last detail. However, there might be unforeseen circumstances arising from factors beyond our control (like political unrest, strikes, bad weather, natural calamities, bad road condition, airport closure, flight cancellations, etc). For this reason, please set aside Rs. 20,000 as reserve fund.
