Terms & conditions

For the services agreed & contracted, 30% of advance payment should be made to hold the booking on a confirmed basis and the balance amount can be paid either before your departure from your country or upon arrival in Nepal - but obviously before the commencement of our services. We hold the right to decide upon the amount to be paid as an advance payment, based on the nature of services and the time left for the commencement of your services.

Apart from the above in some cases like special hotel or resort bookings during the peak season, full payment is required to be sent in advance.

Mode of Payment:

Overseas advance payment can be made through wire transfers to our bank or by using your visa or master card. Upon arrival in Nepal, the payment can be made through currency notes or credit card with 4 % extra charge.

In case of cancellation of tour/travel services due to any avoidable/unavoidable reason/s we must be informed in writing. Cancellation charges would be effective from the date we receive your communication in writing and cancellation charges would be as stated below:

In case of special journeys and peak season hotel bookings, a separate cancellation policy is applicable (which would be advised as and when required).

In case you cancel the trip after commencement, refund would be restricted to a limited amount & that too would depend on the amount that we shall be able to recover from the hoteliers we patronize. For unused hotel accommodation, chartered transportation and missed meals etc. we do not bear any responsibility to refund.

Please note that the refund process may take 2-4 weeks due to banking procedures. If the refund is made to the credit card amount or to bank account, the bank charges would be debited from the refund amount.

Last Minute Bookings:

We can accept your last minute booking with 100% payment not less than 7 days prior to tour beginning if booked overseas and ONLY IN CASES OF NEPAL TRIPS. We cannot accept LAST MINUTE BOOKING FOR INDIA, BHUTAN AND TIBET TRIPS. If you are in Nepal and wish to take a trek, please contact us as we schedule an immediate departure to Nepal destinations too.

I can't complete the Tour:

Incase of incompletion of Trek or Tour, the company does not refund for uncompleted area.

If we cancel your trip:

If the company has to cancel your trip on 15 days or more from your starting date due to sudden issues such as natural disasters, conflict or anticipated weather then we will try to place you on the alternative trip of a similar type and standard. If you do not wish to go for it then we will refund your entire amount back.

A note about internal flights:

Frequently delays or postponement of flights in the Himalayas due to weather, equipment issues or other matters not under our control is something we have to face. This is particularly true for places like Everest (Lukla), Jomsom, Dolpa, Simikot and Jumla and some areas of India. To trek in remote areas especially off season, we advise you to allocate extra days to your trip schedule pre, during and post for possible delays to avoid missing return flights back to your home country. As noted above, delay costs (food, accommodation etc.) will be your responsibility.
