can i just check if there is an additional charge for a solo traveller ? Can you book additional days staying at the same hotels before and after the tour ?

Since you will be traveling alone, let us know if you/someone would be happy sharing with another solo traveller of the same gender on the tour free of charge. If you would prefer to add a single supplement, we can do so for an additional $1549.00 (USD). We are also able to assist with pre-nights should you require it with your booking at an additional cost (that will be based on a solo room).

Is dispensation possible for my granddaughter who will be 11 years old during the tour?

The minimum age required is 12 years old, and the maximum exception we can do is if the child is 11 years and 9 months as of the first day of the tour. We are unable to make any further exceptions to our age requirements.

  Traveler•Written June 2025
  what happens if i wish to share a room to avoid the single room rate but if there isnt another single guest of the same sex on the tour, would i then be charged the higher rate? and could i specify that they must be a nonsmoker as i cant stand smoking especially if it was in the room ?
- G AdventuresOperator•Written June 2025
  If you opt for a twin room and then no other solo travellers of the same gender joined the tour, you would be allocated a private room by default. However this is not something to be relied on so if you prefer to guarantee a single supplement we recommend that you pay for it in advance to avoid disappointment.

  Generally it's best to get an evisa in advance to avoid any delays.
