FAQ

Nepal Visa can be obtained on arrival at Kathmandu Airport. Current visa cost is $30 for a 15-day visa and $50 for a 30-day visa & $125 for 90 days. All are multiple-entry visas. The visa fee should be paid in cash in US Dollars or equivalent to Pounds Sterling or Euros.
To avoid the long queues at Immigration, it's best if you pre-apply the online Nepal Visa Form
NOTE: Your passport needs to be valid for at least six (6) months after your journey ends and should have a minimum of one (1) blank visa page for entry and exit stamps

For your own personal health; it is strongly recommended that travelers are covered against the following diseases; Poliomyelitis (childhood booster), Tetanus (childhood booster), Typhoid (food and water-borne disease), and Hepatitis A (food and water-borne disease). For those undertaking a longer more rural trip to Nepal, other vaccinations may need to be considered including Hepatitis B, Rabies, Japanese B, and Meningitis.
There are seasonal outbreaks of dengue fever / Malaria, especially in the southeast of Nepal, but cases have been reported across much of the country. There is currently no vaccine or prophylaxis available for Dengue, and therefore the best form of prevention is to avoid being bitten.
Most of our trips to Nepal go to high altitudes where there is a risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Sickness. Our itineraries are designed to enable everyone to acclimatize to these altitudes, but you should be aware that it is still possible for you to be affected.

We use 5-star category hotels & can be tailored to your preference.
While on a trek; we use comfortable mountain lodges that are friendly, and atmospheric with heated dining areas, hot showers, and western toilets. Electric blankets will be provided in the Bedrooms to make your sleep pleasant.
Rooms are generally arranged on a twin-sharing basis and if you are travelling by yourself, you will usually be paired up with someone of the same sex.

In Kathmandu, Breakfast is included in the package, Lunch & Dinner will be on you own. During trek, it is an all-inclusive Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner with unlimited tea/coffees. Alcoholic beverages are extra and paid for separately.

 

Our multi-day adventure trek involves going up to 3500m elevation. During the trip, you will be spending two nights at 3440 meters. This is not something you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a wide range of altitudes, but we must follow some simple rules to acclimatize successfully. 

Approximately $300 (or Euros, Pounds etc) changed into local currency, should be allowed for miscellaneous expenses including porter and trek crew tips, drinks, snacks etc. It is not necessary to obtain local currency before departure. US Dollars, Pound Sterling, and Euros are equally acceptable for exchange in Nepal. 
We recommend that you carry your travel money in the form of cash, or else it is possible to withdraw money from ATMs in Kathmandu using your debit or credit card.

 

We strongly recommend you have a valid Travel + Medical insurance policy to cover the cost of medical treatment, and emergency helicopter evacuation and to protect the value of your holiday in the event of cancellation. When taking out insurance please ensure the policy you choose covers you for the activities and altitude included in your itinerary.

Tipping is the accepted way of saying thank you for good service. Normally the tips are given to the trek staff at the end of the trip, and this is best done as a group. 
As a guideline, we recommend that each group member contribute around $150 to these tips. At the end of their trek, many people also like to donate various items of equipment to the porters and trek staff. Boots, gloves, hats & scarves are always warmly received by the porters, While technical clothing and equipment such as head torches and trekking poles are highly prized by the Sherpa team. Your tour leader will make arrangements for a fair distribution (possibly by raffle) amongst the trek crew.

 

Your main item of luggage should be a sturdy kit bag, duffle bag or similar which will be carried during the trek by porters and should weigh no more than 10kg. You should also take on your holiday a daypack of approximately 40 liters capacity.
For all STOL flights in Nepal, the normal allowance for holding baggage AND hand baggage combined is 15kg. Please be aware that you will have to pay any charges for excess personal baggage above this allowance at check-in, and that excess baggage may have to be flown separately. 
It is possible to leave items not required on the trek at the hotel in Kathmandu. For your international flights, please check the baggage allowance with your airline.

 

The Everest region has a wide range of temperatures. This depends on the season, altitude, and time of day. Below Namche Bazaar the nights will be cool around 5 Celsius. During the day temperatures sometimes rise upto 20 Celsius. At higher altitudes temperatures range from about 15 Celsius to -15 Celsius.
The trekking season in Nepal is from late September to May. October and November are generally recognized as having the best weather. Spring is a popular time of year with warmer weather than in Autumn. Also, there is the advantage of seeing spring flowers and rhododendrons in bloom. 
Please remember that in any mountain area, the weather is never wholly predictable and you should be prepared and equipped to deal with any differences in weather beyond the conditions described above.
