What is the physical difficulty level of this tour?

This is a moderately demanding tour. It involves long drives (7-10 hours) on mountainous roads and walking on uneven terrain, especially during the Muktinath visit and jungle safari. A basic level of fitness is required.

What type of vehicles are used for the long drives?

We use a Toyota Innova for the Indian sector and a comfortable, luxury sofa-seated van for most of the Nepal drives. A sturdy private Jeep is used for the mountainous journey from Pokhara to Jomsom and Muktinath for safety and comfort.

What are the visa requirements for this trip?

Indian nationals do not require a visa for Nepal. For other nationalities, a Nepal visa can be obtained on arrival at the Sunauli border. Please carry passport-sized photographs and the visa fee in USD.

What is the best time of year to take this tour?

The ideal seasons are Spring (March-May) and Autumn (October-November) when the weather is pleasant, and the mountain views are clear.

Is travel insurance mandatory?

While not compulsory, we strongly recommend that all travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers emergency evacuation, especially given the high-altitude destinations and adventure activities.
