Full description

A 8-day trip out of Kathmandu taking in 8-hour drive, 6-hour trek, Rest & exploration and 12-hour trek. There are 5 stops in all.

The running order is 8-hour drive, then 6-hour trek, then Rest & exploration, then 12-hour trek, then 7-8 hrs drive.

The price covers hotel pickup and drop-off, Authorized English-speaking Guide, Medical kit/Trekking Gear(Poles/Stick) and Trekking permits, all necessary paperwork, and Trekkers' Information Management System fee(s). It does not cover soft and hard drinks, Porter and Travel and rescue insurance, so budget for those separately. Two travellers pay $723 together rather than $673 each, because this is priced per party and not per head.

Important information

Meeting point

The operator confirms the exact meeting point and time once your booking is confirmed, and you will have it well before the day. If you would rather know before you book, message us on WhatsApp and we will ask them for you.

Weather

This runs outdoors, so the operator can call it off for rain, wind or sea conditions, and that decision is usually made on the day. If they cancel, you choose: another date, or your money back in full. We do not keep a booking fee on a tour that did not run.
