For peak seasons (March to May and September to November), booking 2 to 4 months in advance secures preferred teahouse rooms and domestic flight timings (especially Lukla or Pokhara). However, as a direct Kathmandu ground operator, we can also organize customized departures with as little as 48 to 72 hours notice.

Yes, completely. Every trip can be customized: we can add acclimatization rest days, incorporate boutique heritage hotels in Kathmandu and Pokhara, arrange private helicopter returns, or build combinations like Poon Hill plus a Chitwan wildlife safari.

We ask for a modest advance deposit to lock in national park permits, flight tickets, and guide schedules. The balance can be paid safely upon arrival in Kathmandu using major credit cards or direct bank transfer, with transparent receipts and no hidden surcharges.

Safety is our core foundation. All our guides carry first-aid medical kits and pulse oximeters to track blood oxygen and heart rate daily. In the rare event of severe acute mountain sickness (AMS) or injury, our Kathmandu desk coordinates immediate emergency helicopter evacuation covered by your travel insurance.
