    James

    Asked on May 19th, 2022

    I would like to ask some questions: 1. Who operate the trip. Is this tourradar? 2. How many people have already registered for the Tour at that time, and from which countries? 3. What is the weather, to your experience, in the area in a that time? Is monsoon rains expected? 4. What is the last date on which the registration can be made?

    Operator
    Tour Details
    • MTA Destination Management CompanyOperator•Written May 2022

      1. MTA will operate the tour and the tour will be booked on the booking platform of Tour Radar. 2. Still we do not have any booking for this date. But the tour is guaranteed and will depart even with a single traveller booking. 3. Weather will be calm and the monsoon is expected after the mid of June. 4. You may book the tour 48 hours before the departure time. Price may vary and may increase in the coming months because of the fuel price hike in these days.
