How can I avail of the 5% discount?

The 5% discount can only be added if no other promotion is on the booking, only one discount per person, per tour can be applied.

Is the hike towards the Tiger's Nest possible on mules or horses? Can you provide more information about this climb regarding physical efforts?

The group will hike from 2400m elevation and reach 3100m at the Taktsang Monastery before returning back to 2400m in the same day. The climb should take around 6 hours for a total distance of 7 km. There are no mules or horses that are available due to our Animal Welfare Policy.

Do we need a letter of invitation to get a visa?

You will need to get a visa for Nepal on your own, and then for Bhutan you will need fill out a form for a letter of invitation which you will present at the border to get your visa.

Can you please clarify the 5% discount for previous G Adventure participants?

The 5% evaluation discount is for travellers who have completed their past tour evaluation form. It is not automatically added onto a booking and must be manually applied. It can not be combined with any other promo/discount.

We'd like to know if you organize this type of trip and provide assistance with the required visas. If so, could you please provide us with the following information: 1. Guidance on the visa application process, estimated processing time, required documentation, and associated costs. 2. A proposal including suggested itineraries, logistics, transfers between the three destinations, the best places to visit and activities for exotic and unforgettable experiences, accommodations, and suggested durations at each location.

Visa and entry requirements are the responsibility of our travellers to handle on their own. We can recommend organizations to work with that will charge a small fee for assisting with visas.

Would you help with applying visa to Bhutan?

Yes! We will handle the Bhutan visa for you. The cost of the visa is included in the tour price.
