Planning your trip to Nepal:
We always recommend you to have some extra days while planning your trip to Nepal… just because Nepal…just in case….just to make it relaxed and stress free…the days always can be your backup days in case of bad weather or any other unforeseeable circumstances……. And if everything goes according to the plan (and it most probably will)- there are sooo many things to see and experience here or spend it for chilling and vibing it Nepali way….

If you are planning to do multiple adventures during your Nepal tour or visiting different places after your trip with us  – chat about it with us before hand as sometimes local advise helps in planning and arranging logistics best ways possible minimizing drives and saving time for more exciting things ….
