Tour Options

Single Room Supplement
This option secures you a single room in all the hotels used on this tour. It also covers the cost of a single room in all the trekking lodges if available (if the lodges are full, then single rooms can not be guaranteed).

Patan and Bhaktapur day trip
This option gives you a chance to tour the ancient cities of Patan and Bhaktapur during a free day in Kathmandu. Situated on the outskirts of Kathmandu these areas are full of character and you see plenty of temples, stupas and old wooden buildings as well as enjoying the bustling local life.
The tour lasts for a full day and includes private transport and the services of a professional local tour guide.

Extra day in Kathmandu - pre-tour
This option adds an extra free day in Kathmandu to the start of your tour. The price includes one night in a Standard level hotel (normally the Shanker hotel), breakfast, all taxes, and your arrival airport transfer if required.

Extra day in Kathmandu - post-tour
This option adds an extra free day in Kathmandu to the end of your tour. The price includes one night in a Standard level hotel (normally the Shanker hotel), breakfast, all taxes, and your departure airport transfer if required.

Bhote Kosi Rafting Trip
For those wishing to take the rafting to a higher level, or those short of time, this 2 day rafting option takes you to one of Nepal’s steepest and most technical white water rivers. This grade IV-IV+ river is just 3 hours from Kathmandu, starting close to the Tibetan border, and makes an excellent adrenaline filled extension to your tour. The nights are spent camping on beaches on the banks of the river, so you will need a sleeping bag (available to hire in Kathmandu).
This option will add two days to the overall length of your tour.

Bardia Wildlife Safari Extension
Leaving Kathmandu on the last day of the tour, this option adds a 4 day/4-night wildlife safari in the Royal Bardia National Park to your tour.
Staying in one of our Economy level lodges (eg. Forest Hideaway), we include a jeep safari, jungle walk, river rafting trip, elephant ride, tour and a cultural program in one of Nepal's more remote national parks, where you have the best chance in the country of seeing tigers.
All park activities and entrance fees are included, as well as one night in a hotel in Kathmandu on your return from Bardia. 
This option gives you more than 2 full days in Bardia, so you can see as much wildlife as possible and enjoy the quiet & peaceful atmosphere here, and will add 4 days to the overall length of your tour.
The price does not include your return flights between Kathmandu & Nepalganj, which should be added on as an extra option. 
A single traveller supplement will be added if required.

Bardia Extension flights (required)
This option provides the return flights between Kathmandu and Nepalganj (approx. 1 hour) which are required for our Bardia National Park extension option.
Your flights will be booked in advance, but should be paid for in Kathmandu at the start of your tour.

Everest Mountain Flight
This flight leaves from Kathmandu and lasts for around an hour, taking you up towards Everest and the surrounding high peaks. You can even get glimpses of the high Tibetan plateau.
The planes have larger than normal clear windows, and window seats are guaranteed.
We will book your flight in advance, but payment for this option is to be made in Kathmandu.

Chitwan to Kathmandu flight upgrade
This option allows you to upgrade the overland journey from Chitwan National Park back to Kathmandu (approx. 6-7 hours) to an internal flight. The price includes taxes and all transfers.

Kathmandu to Pokhara flight upgrade

Sleeping bag hire (per day)

The price is UK£2 per person per day - please check the tour itinerary & factsheet for the number of days required.
