We provide airport shuttles, the first and last night’s hotel in Kathmandu, round trip Lukla flights, accommodation and all the meals while trekking, porters for carrying gear, as well as park permits and fees. We handle everything from once we’ve arrive in Kathmandu until we are ready to depart after our trek.
The only additional expenses you'll need are your visa on arrival, travel insurance (we require a policy that covers evacuation up to 6000 meters), and a tip for your guide and porter team.
