Bandipur and Nagarkot aren't in the itinerary but we can include them at an additional cost. You will need to add a day or two. We can receive booking for April 29.

What immunizations will I need?

No vaccinations are compulsory fro travelling in Bhutan, but we do recommend you are covered for diphtheria TB, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, *malaria, typhoid, polio and tetanus. We also recommend: · A dental check-up prior to travelling. · That you know your blood group in case of emergency. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions which might affect you on tour, you make these known to your tour leader and Ace the Himalaya at the time of your booking.

Can I add extra days to my trip?

A holiday should never be about making it to the final point quickly. Along your trek, we can add days at your request with additional costs to cover guides, porters, accommodation and food.

What essential documents do I need to bring with me on tours?

Here are some documents that you will need to carry with you: · Valid Passport – must be valid for up to 6 months after you return from your tour, keep a separate photocopy. · Travel insurance, keep a separate photocopy · Cash and Traveller’s Cheques, keep numbers and proof of purchase separately · Flight tickets · Emergency contact numbers for T/C’s, banks, insurance, family contacts.

Are the Ace the Himalaya's staff insured?

Our company insures all our staff members, including guides, cooks, Sherpas and porters. Please browse through Company Information pages to view insurance details.

Is the water fine to drink? Do I need to bring purifying tablets/filter?

Bottled water is available in all places. If you wish to drink normal water, you are suggested to use purifying aid, which you need to bring with you.

Do I need to tip my guide and driver? How much would that be?

Tips are always expected. It is a small gesture of thanks to the field staff towards the end of the tour USD 20 per guide and USD 10 per driver per day is recommended per group, but it is entirely up to your wishes.

How much additional money do I need per day?

It depends on your spending habits. We estimate USD 12 to 20 a day will be enough to buy lunch, dinner, chocolates and a few drinks.

Can I use credit cards in the places I visit?

ATMs are available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Major credit cards are accepted in all places but you need to pay 4% extra as bank levy, which might make cash more preferable.

Is there any communication while we are on tour?

There are telephones and Internet facilities available so you can always stay in contact with your family.
