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 This 8-hour Champadevi Hiking combines a guided day out with licensed leaders and a clear safety briefing before you start. You'll have time for the main activity, a simple lunch or snack stop, and the drive back to the city. 📋 Key Details Duration: About 8 hours on the trail with breaks Start: Kathmandu hotel or trailhead when transfers are included Guide: Licensed leader on walking days Terrain: Forest paths and village steps near the valley rim Season: Year-round with monsoon mud on lower paths 🗺️ What to Expect Champadevi rises on the south-west rim above Pharping. You climb through pine and monastery country to a summit stupa with Himalaya and valley views, then drop toward a village road pickup. Pharping’s monasteries, a pine climb, and a summit stupa with Himalaya on the horizon fill a south-rim day. It is a full day out of the city with a clear high point and time for tea in Pharping. Poles help on the dusty descent. Tea in the village after the dusty descent is the soft landing before the city traffic. 📍 Location Meet in your Kathmandu hotel or the trailhead when a transfer is included on the day. Briefings cover what to carry in a daypack versus leaving valuables at the hotel. Forest ridges, heritage sites, and valley views on Champadevi Hiking unfold step by step through the day, with pauses for temples, villages, and photo stops on the ridge. You are back on the ring road in time for an evening in Thamel. 👟 Prerequisites Comfortable walking shoes and a light daypack are enough for most valley hikes. Break in footwear before travel and carry water and sun protection. Mention knee or heart conditions when you reserve so the guide can set a sensible pace on uphill sections. A light rain shell and water bottle are enough extra kit for most valley days. ✨ Why Choose Us Our guides travel insured while they are on duty from the Pharping or Machhegaun trailhead to the Champadevi temple at 2,285 m. After breakfast we drive about an hour to the south-west rim, then climb through terraces, pine, and rhododendron to the prayer-flag summit. Your licensed leader times rests so the three-hour uphill stays conversational. Descent can follow the same path or the Hattiban trail before the vehicle meets you. We choose guides for patience on dusty downhills and local knowledge of which village tea stops still have shade. Our Kathmandu office confirms the private transfer and the day plan so a cloudy summit can still include the temple visit. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Professional English-speaking tour guide Private vehicle transport National park entry fees ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point outside arranged airport transfers Personal expenses such as phone, laundry, and souvenirs Meals and drinks unless specified ### Kit list Sturdy footwear and layered clothing for the season Daypack, water, sun protection, and rain shell Passport copy and insurance documents for aviation or adventure cover Cash for tips, snacks, and local extras ## FAQs ### What should I wear? Sturdy shoes, layered clothing, and sun protection suit most day trips from Kathmandu or Pokhara. Leave valuables at your hotel when possible. Rain shells help in shoulder seasons even on short hikes. Briefings and equipment checks are part of the day rather than extra waiting time on the clock. ### Is transport included? Hotel pickup or a meeting-point transfer applies only when transport is part of this trip. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. Share your hotel name and flight times ahead of travel so drivers can plan around Kathmandu or Pokhara traffic. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. ### What if weather is poor? Guides may shorten routes or suggest another date if storms make trails or rivers unsafe. Monsoon cloud sits lower on the hills while winter brings ice on steps above village level. The team contacts you as early as possible with another slot rather than pushing marginal conditions. Weather can shift daily plans, so your guide keeps a steady pace with regular breaks. ### How long is the day? Plan about 8 hours door to door when transfers are included; shorter if you meet at the trailhead or airport. Door-to-door time includes transfers when transport is part of the trip. Briefings and equipment checks are part of that window, not extra waiting time billed to you. Trail conditions are checked each morning before the group moves. ### Do I need experience? No trekking experience is required on gentle day hikes if you can walk uphill with a light pack. Your crew would rather wait for a safe window than rush marginal weather. Mention medical conditions when you reserve so the guide or pilot can advise on pace or participation before travel. Shoulder weeks need an honest weather call before high passes or dawn viewpoints. ### What is included? Guided activity, safety equipment, and permits for the day are included when they are part of this trip. Permits for the regions you cross are arranged in Kathmandu or Pokhara when included. Meals, tips, personal insurance, and optional extras are paid separately unless they are part of this trip. Domestic flights, porters, and airport transfers apply only when they are part of this trip. ### What is not included? International flights, Nepal visa fees, and personal travel insurance are not covered. International flights, visa fees, and personal insurance stay outside the trek package. Optional video, extra jumps, or premium transfers are paid locally or as add-ons when offered. Hot showers, Wi-Fi, and battery charging in lodges are usually paid locally when offered. ### Can children join? Families join when children meet operator age and height rules for the specific activity. Tell us children’s ages when you reserve so the guide can confirm terrain and daily hours. Share children’s ages when you reserve so the operator can confirm height and age rules for that activity. Tell us children’s ages when you reserve so the guide can confirm terrain and daily hours. ### Where do we meet? Pokhara lakeside or domestic terminal meet applies when your package starts there. Allow a little extra time after the trek before international flights home in case mountain roads or flights move. Exact meet times are confirmed once your date is set; allow buffer for Kathmandu or Pokhara traffic. Thamel hotels are the usual meet point; drivers need flight numbers to meet you at the international terminal. ### What insurance do I need? Comprehensive travel insurance that names your activity is essential before you travel. Medical evacuation and helicopter rescue should appear on your policy if you trek above 4,000 m. Read policy wording before you fly so helicopter, jump, or river activities are named if you need that cover. Medical evacuation and helicopter rescue should appear on your policy if you trek above 4,000 m. ## 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-c53e4dfe7965/33b05571-79bf-4cc8-8dbc-94505106ea4a/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.
