Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I book with Nepal Alternative Treks?

What services do you offer?

Are your guides trained and licensed?

How safe is trekking with your company?

What is included and excluded in your packages?

Our trip pages clearly list what is included, such as permits, guide, porter, transport, accommodation, and most meals, as well as what is not included, such as international flights, personal gear, drinks, tips, and travel insurance. This way, you know all costs in advance. All of this information is available in the respective trip packages.

For example, for the Everest Base Camp Trek, you can refer to the What’s Included and What’s Not Included sections to see what is included and excluded in the trek package cost.

Do I need travel insurance?

How do booking and payments work?

To book with Nepal Alternative Treks, fill out a simple booking application form and pay a USD 100 deposit per person. The balance is paid in Kathmandu before your trip. You can pay safely by bank transfer or major credit cards (Mastercard, Visa, American Express) with no extra surcharge.

Likewise, if you prefer a tailor-made itinerary just for your party, you can book a private trip and customize dates, pace, accommodation, and activities from our private booking page. But if you are not sure which route or length suits you, you can use our Trip Planner to get personalized recommendations based on fitness, time, budget, and interests. Also, if you want lower costs and company on the trail, you can join a group departure. For this, visit the respective trek package page and click the “Join this trip” option to join scheduled group departures.

For more information on booking and payment, check this: https://nepalalternativetreks.com/payment-t-c/

What is your cancellation and refund policy?

You may cancel anytime before departure and choose a refund or a credit, conditions apply. We refund 90% of the trip cost (after deducting 3% government tax) in case of cancellation for unfortunate circumstances. Or you can reuse the cost for an alternative trip at the same price, either immediately or in the following season of the same year. Last-minute cancellations and no-shows are non-refundable once services are booked or the trip has started. All cancellations must be submitted in writing.

For full terms and exceptions, read our policy here: https://nepalalternativetreks.com/cancellation-policy/

What about altitude sickness and acclimatization?

What fitness level do I need?

Most treks in Nepal require a moderate fitness level. Thus, you should be comfortable walking several hours a day with a light daypack. Regular walking, hiking, or cardio (running, cycling, stair-climbing) in the weeks before your trip will make the trails more enjoyable. If you have specific health concerns or limited mobility, tell us, and we’ll recommend suitable routes and pacing.

Can you customize itineraries and private trips?

How do you support local communities and the environment?
