You need to carry original passport with minimum 6 month validity and visa fee (US$ 40). Regarding tipping you may estimate US$ 5 per person per day however there is no such hard and fast rule. It depends on your satisfaction with their services.

Can this trek be done in more shorter days?

Yes, it can be shortened as per your time availability and depending on how much you can walk a day. Please let us know your arrival date and the no. of days available for Nepal and the places you wish to include. So that we could suggest you program accordingly.

  Traveler•Written February 2024
  In terms of the tipping, may I know how many persons do I need to tip for? Generally speaking for this tour would be the tour guide, driver and porter. Apart from the travel visa which I have to apply upon arrival, may I know if there are any other permits that need to be applied for the trekking? If yes, would your organization be arranging on my behalf? In terms of the luggage and packing, may I know if your company will provide a duffel bag for me to pack my gear and belongings for the trekking (which this will be carried by the porter)? And would that be possible if I could leave my main luggage at the hotel at Kathmandu on Day 1 and retrieve it back when returning back to the hotel after the trekking?
- World Travel ExperiencesOperator•Written February 2024
  Tipping depends totally on you (how much and to whom) depending upon your satisfaction from their service. However tipping is expected. If you want to tip they would be driver, trek guide mainly. We need to apply for trekking permits which we will take care of. Yes we provide duffel bag, porter is not included in this trek, if you want we can arrange at extra cost. Yes you can leave extra luggage at Kathmandu or Pokhara and retrieve back upon return.
