What your quote includes
A quote is a written plan, not a single number. It lists:
- Each day: where you go, how you travel and where you sleep, with the hotel or lodge named
- Flights, helicopter sectors and road transfers, with the vehicle type
- Permits and entry fees, guide and porter costs, and the meals included
- The total price per person and for the group, in INR or USD
- What is not included, so nothing turns up later as a surprise
Prices on this site are indicative "from" prices per person, twin sharing. Your quote is priced for your dates, hotel class and group size.
Deposit and balance
When you are happy with the plan, a deposit confirms the booking and we send written confirmation. The balance is due before departure. The amounts, due dates and the ways you can pay are in our payments policy.
We never ask for card details, OTPs or passwords by email, WhatsApp or phone. Pay only to the accounts named on your booking confirmation.
Changes and cancellations
Before you book, changes are free and we re-quote as often as you like. After you book, moving dates is often cheaper than cancelling; suppliers may charge for their part. If you cancel, what you get back depends on how many days before departure you tell us in writing and on what airlines, helicopter operators, hotels and permit offices refund. The full scale is in our refund and cancellation policy.
On the trip
- One trip manager. The person who wrote your quote stays in touch on WhatsApp or phone through the trip.
- Local operators. Hotels, drivers, airlines and helicopter operators are local businesses, named in your quote.
- Licensed guides. Treks in national parks and conservation areas go with a government-licensed guide, as Nepal requires. Restricted areas also need a registered agency and at least two trekkers.
- Weather plans. Mountain flights and helicopters fly only when the pilot judges it safe. We build buffer days into high itineraries where we can and explain what happens if a flight is cancelled. See the helicopter and altitude terms.
Travel insurance
Insurance is not included in our packages. For treks, heli tours, peak climbs and Kailash yatras, insurance that covers helicopter evacuation up to the highest altitude on your route is a condition of booking. For city and safari tours we strongly recommend it. Check that your policy names the altitude and activities on your itinerary.
Documents
Indian citizens do not need a visa for Nepal; a valid passport or voter ID card is accepted. Kailash yatras need a passport for the Chinese group visa and Tibet permits. Other nationalities need a passport and a Nepal visa, available on arrival at Kathmandu airport and main land borders. Check current status before you travel.
Booking questions

Are the prices on the site final?
They are indicative 'from' prices per person, twin sharing, in Indian rupees and US dollars. Your final price depends on dates, hotel class, group size and flight or helicopter availability. We send a written quote with every line itemised before you pay anything.
Do Indian citizens need a passport or visa for Nepal?
Indian citizens do not need a visa. A valid passport or a voter ID card is accepted at the border and at Kathmandu airport; children can travel with a passport or school ID and birth certificate, depending on age. Kailash yatras need a passport. Check current status before you travel.
How do I book a package?
Send the quote form or message us on WhatsApp. We reply with a written quote, usually within one working day. To confirm, you pay a deposit; the balance is due before departure. Our payment and cancellation policies set out the exact terms.
Can you arrange a trip from my city in India?
Yes. We plan flights to Kathmandu or Bhairahawa, or road journeys via Sonauli, Raxaul, Rupaidiha, Jogbani and Kakarbhitta. Our 'Nepal tour package from' pages list routes and times for twelve Indian cities.
Are helicopter tours safe?
Helicopter tours in Nepal are run by licensed operators and fly only when the pilot judges the weather safe, usually early in the morning. Fewer passengers can land at very high points, and time on the ground above 5,000 m is short. Read our helicopter and altitude terms before you book.
