Our track record
What hikers on our earlier trips said
These are from our Malaysia hiking trips, sent to us after the hike. They are not ABC reviews.
The mountain guides were really responsible. They took care of the slower hikers.
Everything went smoothly and I really enjoyed the hike. The mountain guide team was very responsible. 100% thumbs up.
Such a fun trail. I've ticked off my bucket list. Just seeing the Corybas made me happy.

Are flights included?
Nepal domestic flights between Kathmandu and Pokhara are included. International flights to Kathmandu are not.
What about the visa?
Malaysians and Singaporeans need a visa for Nepal and can get one on arrival. The 15 day visa (USD 30) is enough for this trip. Visa on arrival takes US dollars in cash only. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
Do I need insurance?
The package does not include insurance. We strongly recommend one that covers high altitude trekking (to at least 4,130m) and helicopter rescue. It is not compulsory.
How much money should I bring for the trail?
Personal spending on the trail such as WiFi, snacks, hot and cold drinks is not included in the package. We suggest each person budgets NPR 15,000 to 20,000 (about USD 110 to 150). Actual spending depends on personal habits.
How does tipping work?
Tipping on treks is voluntary. Our local team suggests USD 150 per guide and USD 100 per porter for the whole trip, shared by everyone in the group. The number of guides and porters depends on the group size. For a group of 12 to 20, it comes to about USD 90 to 100 per person.
What about altitude sickness?
Being fit does not mean you will not get it. Training is what helps you keep walking. On the trail, go slow, drink enough, eat well and sleep well. Tell the mountain guide straight away if you have a headache or feel dizzy.
Cancellation and refunds
If the group does not reach the minimum: deposit refunded in full.
For any other cancellation, WhatsApp us.
