Booking Policy
To book a trip with us, you must complete the reservation form and submit it along with a scanned copy or photocopy of your passport. A down payment of 30% of the total trip cost must be made at least 30 days (1 calendar month) before the scheduled departure date. Failure to make the down payment on time may result in cancellation of your booking. The remaining balance may be paid upon arrival in Kathmandu, except for tours to Bhutan, India, or Tibet, in which case the balance must be paid 20 days before departure. We reserve the right to cancel your booking if payments are not made on time.
Postponement, Cancellation & Refund Policy
- If you postpone your trip, your payment will be credited toward your new travel dates.
- If you cancel your trip, the 30% down payment is non-refundable and will be treated as a cancellation fee. Any excess amount over the cancellation fee will be refunded to your bank account or credit card.
- In cases of unforeseen circumstances beyond your control, you may reschedule your tour to another date.
- All postponements, cancellations, or rescheduling must be notified via email at least 14 days before the tour departure date.
Special Cases:
- Bhutan Tours: Cancellation incurs a fee of 30% of the trip cost.
- Tibet Tours: Cancellation incurs a fee of 50% of the trip cost.
Note: Cancellation fees for Bhutan and Tibet tours are subject to the policies of our respective local agents.
Changes in Prices
All tour rates are quoted in US dollars and may change. Once your booking is confirmed with a down payment, the price is guaranteed—unless there are significant currency fluctuations, newly imposed government taxes, or other unavoidable cost increases beyond our control.
