extensions will give you a different perspective of Nepal and will

Garbage Deposit for all Trekking Peaks
A Garbage Deposit fee of US$250.00 payable to Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA) is required to obtain permits for all Trekking peaks. Refunds on the Garbage Deposit shall be as per NMA provisions.
If you book your trek with us we will take care of this formality, for no extra cost to you, as your operating agent in Nepal. While on the expedition you are required to cooperate with our guide/staff to collect and transport all non-biodegradable waste back to Kathmandu for proper disposal. We will take care of all the required formalities as per NMA recommendations.
Pre Departure Information
Once your expedition is confirmed we will send you detailed Pre Departure Information which includes a list of recommended clothing and personal equipment, along with many other relevant information to help you prepare for your trip. Prior to the trip departure from Kathmandu, you will attend a detailed trip briefing and orientation meeting to make sure that you are well prepared for your river trip and trek.
International Air Seats To Nepal
Have you made your air reservation yet? Please note that space on flights in and out of Nepal is very tight, especially during the tourist seasons. Therefore, we would like to suggest that you work on your dates for your flights AS SOON AS POSSIBLE and send us a request for your air seats. We can help you with dates for treks, raft trips and other services that you need so that you can make your decision.
Domestic Flights
All domestic flights in Nepal are operated
using small planes seating 15 to 20 people. There are only a few
flights to each destination every day. During the busy
trekking/tourist season these flights get full very fast. To improve
your chances of getting on these flights it is best to confirm your
trips as early as possible. The sooner we get trip confirmation, the
better your chances.
