Not necessarily! We offer treks for all fitness levels. Easier treks like Mardi Himal (7 days) are great for beginners, while Manaslu Circuit is for experienced trekkers. Our team will help you choose the right trek based on your fitness and goals.

All necessary permits (TIMS card, national park fees, conservation area permits, and restricted area permits for treks like Upper Mustang) are included in every package. We handle all the paperwork so you don't have to worry.

Purist offers authentic teahouse stays and local meals. Comfort upgrades to better lodges, adds porter service, and includes hot showers. Luxe provides premium lodge suites, gourmet dining, and optional helicopter transfers. All tiers include expert guides and permits.

Our itineraries include proper acclimatization days. We recommend consulting your doctor about Diamox, staying hydrated, and ascending slowly. Our guides are trained in altitude sickness recognition and carry emergency oxygen and communication equipment.

Free cancellation up to 30 days before departure. 50% refund between 15-30 days. Within 15 days, the deposit is non-refundable but can be applied to a future trek within 12 months. We also offer travel insurance assistance.

Absolutely! We accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other dietary needs. Let us know when booking and we'll coordinate with lodges along the route. Nepali cuisine is naturally rich in vegetarian options.
