If you do not use pre-paid services included in the itinerary (accommodation, sightseeing, meals, transport, and similar), no refund or reuse is offered for the unused portion. Refund conditions may be updated at the company's discretion. The company may cancel a trip before it is guaranteed to run or before an official agreement is signed. A trip is guaranteed once two travellers have paid in full unless a different minimum is stated for that departure. Circumstances such as natural disaster, cancelled flights, strike, industrial action, war, riot, quarantine, government intervention, weather, or a group member's health may force cancellation. In those cases you may choose either a refund of 75% of the total trip cost paid (13% government tax deducted from that refund) or reuse of the same value on an alternative trip at the same price in the same season and year. The booking deposit (25% of the total) remains non-refundable in that scenario. Cancellation must be sent in writing; the cancellation date is the date written notice is received. If you cancel one month before departure, 10… - **Booking type (label)**: supabase-request ## What’s included / kit / extras (plain text excerpts) ### Highlights High pass crossings with crampon-ready trail sections 20 days linking Khumbu valleys and viewpoints Gokyo, Everest, or circuit sectors depending on your exact route Long walking days over 5,000 m cols with acclimatisation built in Experienced guide team for snow and rock steps on pass days 🗺️ Trip Overview Restricted Nar and Phu valleys combine with a side trip to Tilicho Lake above Manang. You walk from Koto through Meta to Phu’s fortress village, then Nar, before rejoining the Marsyangdi and climbing toward Tilicho Base Camp. Phu’s fortress, Nar’s gompa, and Tilicho’s turquoise shore at about 4,900 m are the three landmarks. Kang Guru, Pisang Peak, and the turquoise lake at about 4,900 m are the landmarks. Permits, river crossings, and cold lodge nights define the rhythm before you exit toward Manang or Thorong country. Koto, Meta, and a Marsyangdi exit keep the restricted days linked to the Annapurna road, not the Khumbu. ✨ Why Choose Us Restricted Nar-Phu permits and ACAP are filed in Kathmandu before the Besisahar jeep to Koto, with a licensed guide attached from the start. You'll walk Meta and Kyang to Phu's fortress village, then Nar, and we match a leader who already knows those gompas and the restricted-gate timing. Guides licensed through MOCTCA and NATHM document height gain so Kang La is not stacked on a tired day. After Ngawal and Manang, the same crew paces Tilicho Base Camp and the lake morning, then Thorong La to Muktinath. Porters are insured, paid fairly, and carry about 25 to 30 kg, with one porter for two guests. Daily plans are shared so a hold in Phu or a windy Thorong morning can shift without a second briefing. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Airport pickup and hotel drop-off in a private vehicle Three nights in a 3-star Kathmandu hotel with breakfast Pokhara hotel stay with breakfast on the itinerary Overland transport from Muktinath back to Pokhara by local bus service Guided Kathmandu sightseeing by private vehicle Breakfast, lunch, and dinner on trekking days Tourist bus travel between major cities and trekking start point Overland transport from Besisahar to Koto in a shared local jeep National park entry permit TIMS permit Manaslu and Tsum Valley restricted-area permits Tour permits and paperwork handled for you ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Nepal visa fees International flights to and from Kathmandu Kathmandu monument entrance fees on sightseeing Kathmandu hotel stay with breakfast on the itinerary All Meals in Kathmandu and Pokhara Travel and emergency rescue insurance Personal trail costs (phone, laundry, drinks, charging, showers, water) ### Kit list Broken-in waterproof hiking boots and wool or synthetic socks Layered clothing, insulated jacket, rain shell, hat, and gloves Daypack, water bottles, and head torch Sleeping bag suitable for teahouse nights at altitude Sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, and personal first aid kit Passport copies, visa, insurance documents, and cash for extras on the trail ## FAQs ### When is the best season for this trek? March to May rhododendron bloom and October to November crisp air are peak windows for this itinerary. July and August mean leeches and cloud on lower slopes; December to February can ice steps above village level. Your guide reads the forecast before long cols or sunrise hikes. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### How fit do I need to be? You should be comfortable walking several hours a day on uneven paths with a daypack, including steady uphill sections as you gain height. Hill training and longer weekend walks in the months before travel help your legs and lungs on uphill trail days. Hill training, stair climbing, and longer weekend hikes in the months before travel help your legs and lungs, even when acclimatisation days are built into the route. Break in boots before you fly and carry a light daypack on practice walks. ### What is included in the package? Guided trekking with licensed leaders, lodge nights on the trail, meals as described for walking days, and permits for the regions crossed are included when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, road transfers, porter support, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. ### What is not included? International flights to Nepal, visa fees, compulsory travel insurance, personal trekking clothing, snacks and drinks outside included meals, and tips for crew are not covered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. Charges for hot showers, Wi-Fi, or battery charging in lodges are paid locally when offered unless your trip notes say otherwise. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. ### Where do we meet? Share your Tribhuvan arrival time ahead of travel for a Thamel hotel transfer, or make your own way to the meeting hotel in the capital. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. Briefings cover Lukla bag weight, porter duffle limits, and what to wear on the mountain flight. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How does altitude sickness management work? The itinerary builds rest days and climb-high, sleep-low hikes where the route requires them. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Tell your guide early if symptoms appear so tomorrow's stage can shorten or descent can start before conditions worsen. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### Are Lukla flights reliable? Mountain weather can delay or postpone Lukla flights even in peak season, and Ramechhap diversions happen when the airstrip is congested. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Build buffer days after the trek for international connections, and follow crew advice if schedules change or flights shift to Ramechhap. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. ### What permits are required? Sagarmatha National Park and Khumbu municipality permits apply in the Everest region. The team arranges paperwork in Kathmandu or Pokhara when you provide passport copies and trek dates. Keep copies in your daypack for checkpoint stops. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. ### Can children join this trek? Families join when children can manage the daily hours and terrain on this specific route. Pace and daily hours can be adjusted on private departures, though that may extend the calendar. Ask our Kathmandu team if you are planning with younger walkers. Private departures can shorten daily hours, though that may add a day or two to the calendar. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that covers trekking to the highest altitude on your itinerary, medical evacuation, and helicopter rescue when applicable is essential. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name. Read the wording before you travel so you can adjust cover if trekking above 5,000 metres is not named. Many standard policies exclude high altitude by name, so read the wording before you fly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/d3f2ece0-e3af-4baf-909d-c53e4dfe7965/a1134f8f-7ad0-44dd-9431-0e8b296133a8/original.webp - **Gallery image count**: 10 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
