Contents
Our Nepal extensions, besides our wildlife tours, are operated as "join-a-group", fixed-date departures. On the Kathmandu hikes, the groups are small, usually four to six persons. On the rafting trips, groups usually vary from six to 12 persons.
Expert guides are provided both on the Kathmandu hikes and the river trips. All meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) are provided, except for dinner on the Kathmandu hikes.
Food is served in the dining hall of the lodge, or buffet style at the river campsite. Authentic local cuisine as well as Western style dishes are prepared hygenically.
The trip cost quoted is the cost per person to join our fixed-date departure groups, and includes:
- Lodge or Camp accommodations on twin-sharing, full-board (half-board on Kathmandu hikes) basis (incl. tax).
- Meals -- breakfast, lunch, and dinner, from lunch on your arrival until breakfast on the morning of departure. Note that on our Kathmandu hikes, dinner is not included in the cost.
- Private transfers to the roadhead/ tourist bus transfers to river put-in point, and back to the point of departure.
- On the river trips, all rafting equipment including lifejackets and helmets are provided. If camping, you will have to bring a sleeping bag and mat; these can be hired locally.
- On our Kathmandu hikes, we provide a trip leader on groups of six or more. A trip leader can be provided upon request for smaller groups, upon additional cost.
Not included in the cost are:
- Personal expenses, bottled/ alcoholic beverages, and tips to staff.
- Dinner on our Kathmandu Valley hikes.
- Insurance: We strongly recommend that all trip participants be covered by their own personal insurance that also covers emergency evacuation. (See Insurance & Liability.)
- Other unforeseen expenses that may arise due to factors beyond our control, like bad weather or flight cancellations.
We do not provide insurance; participants must be covered with a comprehensive travel insurance policy that includes emergency evacuation. We cannot be held responsible for any changes in the itineraries, flights, or accommodations from causes beyond our control, including but not limited to natural, technical, and political factors. While we will do our utmost to make your journey safe and comfortable, you travel at your own risk at all times. You will be asked to sign an assumption and release of risk form at the pre-departure briefing.
For the rafting trips, you should first check dates & prices with us; please email us or submit a trip inquiry form. To book (a) space(s), simply indicate the extension(s) of your choice and your dates in the 'Extensions' box when submitting the trek/ tour booking form. We'll then notify you of the status of your booking.
