Frequently Asked Questions
Booking
How do I book a trip?⌄
Browse trips on the site and get in touch via an inquiry or contact our team directly — a member of staff will confirm availability, collect traveler details, and set up your booking with a deposit.
What's your deposit and payment policy?⌄
Nepal trips require a 30% deposit to confirm, with the remainder due on arrival in Kathmandu. Tibet, Bhutan and multi-country trips require a 40% deposit, with the balance due 45 days before departure.
Is travel insurance required?⌄
Yes — valid travel insurance covering medical expenses, emergency evacuation and trip cancellation is compulsory for every traveler on every trip we run.
What's your cancellation policy?⌄
Cancellations made more than 30 days before departure are eligible for a partial refund, minus a non-refundable deposit. Cancellations within 30 days of departure are non-refundable — see a trip's own page for its specific policy.
Trekking
What fitness level do I need for trekking?⌄
It depends on the trip's difficulty grade, shown on every trip page — Easy trips suit most fitness levels, while Challenging and Strenuous treks involve consecutive long days at altitude and benefit from cardio training beforehand.
How do you handle altitude sickness?⌄
Itineraries are built with gradual acclimatization days at key altitudes, guides are trained to recognize early symptoms, and descent is always the first response if symptoms don't improve with rest.
