Yes. Next Trip Nepal Treks & Expedition Pvt. Ltd. is a government registered private limited company based in Thamel, Kathmandu, and we operate as a licensed trekking and tour agency. We are an active member of the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) and are affiliated with the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). You can see our full registration, licenses and documents on our Company Documents page.

We accept bank transfers, digital wallets such as eSewa and Khalti, international remittance services like Wise, Remitly and Western Union, and cash in USD, NPR or EUR. For most treks and tours you do not need to pay anything in advance. You can confirm your booking first and pay in full after you arrive in Nepal.

No. In most cases we do not require an advance payment or deposit to reserve your trek or tour. You can confirm your travel dates first and complete payment once you land in Kathmandu. If a specific departure or custom itinerary needs a different arrangement, our team will explain this clearly before you book.

Booking is simple. Choose the trek or tour you want from our website, check the availability and departure dates on the trip page, then contact us through WhatsApp, email or the booking box on the trip page to confirm your dates. We handle the rest, including permits, guides and accommodation, without requiring upfront payment in most cases.

Yes. Alongside our fixed group departures, we offer fully private trips and custom itineraries. You can change the number of days, add extra acclimatization time, upgrade your accommodation or transport, or combine multiple regions into one journey. Visit our Customize Your Trip page or contact us directly to start planning.

Our office is in Thamel, Kathmandu, Nepal, Post Box No 20561. Thamel is the main tourist hub of Kathmandu, so our office is easy to find if you want to meet our team in person before or after your trek.

You can reach us by phone or WhatsApp at +977 9869225929, or by email at nexttripnepal@gmail.com. We offer 24 hour WhatsApp support to travelers with an active booking, and our office hours are Monday to Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturday 9 am to 3 pm, Nepal time. The office is closed on Sunday, though WhatsApp messages are still monitored.

Yes, most foreign nationals need a visa to enter Nepal, which can be obtained on arrival at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. Current visa fees are approximately USD 30 for 15 days, USD 50 for 30 days and USD 125 for 90 days. We recommend checking the latest requirements for your specific nationality before you travel.

Yes. Travel insurance with emergency high altitude medical coverage and helicopter evacuation is mandatory for all of our treks, not optional. This protects you if a medical emergency or a serious case of altitude sickness requires evacuation from the mountains. Our team can advise on the type of coverage you need once you tell us which trek you are booking.

Yes. Since April 2023, independent trekking without a licensed guide has been prohibited in Nepal’s national parks and restricted areas. All of our lead guides hold official Government of Nepal trekking guide licenses, and our porters and support staff are trained and insured for the routes we operate.

Because we do not usually require advance payment to book, you are not committing money you could lose if your plans change before departure. If you need to reschedule your dates or cancel a planned trip, contact our team as early as possible by WhatsApp or email so we can update your booking or discuss your options directly.

There is no fixed upper age limit for most of our treks. We have guided trekkers in their sixties and seventies to destinations such as Everest Base Camp. For trekkers over 60 we usually ask for a general fitness note from a doctor, and we recommend a cardiovascular check if there is any history of heart or lung conditions. For younger trekkers and families, let us know the ages involved and we will recommend a suitable itinerary.

Wi-Fi is available at most teahouses along popular routes such as Everest Base Camp, Annapurna and Langtang, usually for a small extra fee that increases at higher altitude. Mobile signal becomes unreliable above certain points in the mountains, which is why our guides carry satellite communicators for safety and emergency coordination on longer, high altitude treks.

No, tips are not included in the trip price, although they are customary and expected in Nepal’s trekking industry. Guides and porters rely on tips as an important part of their income, and most trekkers tip as a group at the end of the trek based on the length and difficulty of the trip.

Yes. All required permits, such as national park entry permits, conservation area permits, TIMS cards and restricted area permits where applicable, are arranged by our team and included in your trip price. You only need to bring your original passport and passport sized photos, and our guide handles the paperwork at the checkpoints.

Our guides carry pulse oximeters and monitor oxygen levels daily on high altitude treks, and they are trained to recognize the early signs of acute mountain sickness as well as the more serious conditions HAPE and HACE. Itineraries include planned acclimatization days at key points, and our guides carry satellite communicators with standing helicopter evacuation contacts in case a medical emergency requires an immediate descent.

Yes, we are an active member of the Trekking Agencies Association of Nepal (TAAN) and are affiliated with the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). Both of these memberships can be verified independently with those organizations, and both are listed with our other credentials on our Company Documents page.

Yes. Airport pickup and drop off by private vehicle is included in our standard trekking and tour packages. Our team or driver will meet you at Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu on your arrival day, and arrange your transfer back to the airport at the end of your trip.
