Accommodation

WHAT IS THE OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATION LIKE? For nights in cities, we use standard/superior standard/deluxe rooms whereas, during the trek, we use lodges/tea houses/guesthouses/home stay for our clients, and whatever is available and accessible. We also arrange sleeping bags for our clients, on their request.

ARE WE SURE TO GET ROOM WHILE TREKKING? We contact the lodge/guesthouse owner for reservation of the room before trekking on a particular day. On other days, porters reach the destination on advance and book the rooms for you. But there are always going to be exceptions but even in those cases, we may have to be flexible about very basic sleeping arrangements. We always try to make sure that we have everything well arranged.

Transportation & Flights

WILL SOMEBODY COME TO PICK ME UP AT THE AIRPORT UPON ARRIVAL? Yes, our representative will be there to greet you at the airport. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your hotel by a private car/jeep.,
