    Kimberly

    Asked on December 3rd, 2023

    What is your fee for a single supplement?

    Single supplement
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written December 2023

      We believe that travelling by yourself shouldn't be more expensive. We treat single travellers the same as the rest of the group, which is why we don't charge single supplements. We'll partner you up with a same-sex roommate to ensure you pay the same as everyone else. Sometimes it's just more convenient and comfortable to have your own room, which is why we offer single travellers a "My Own Room" option. For the tour Nepal: Himalaya Highlights National Geographic Journeys the My Own Room extra is starting from USD $999.00.

    Elena

    Asked on April 1st, 2022

    wondering how many people are already booked onto this tour? It would also be good to know what the weather is like at this time of year, what the accommodation is like and whether this includes a flight at Lukla airport (I'd like to avoid that if possible)

    Group size
    Tour Details
    • National Geographic Expeditions with G AdventuresOperator•Written April 2022

      There are 7 travellers booked for the April 17 tour date. April is hot and sunny on Nepal's plains and temperatures in the mid 30s are not uncommon. At higher altitude regions, the mercury hovers round 20°C and conditions for trekking are ideal. Rain is always a possibility throughout Nepal in April, with the monsoon just around the corner, and the skies can be quite hazy. Hotels (3.5-4 star) (8 nts), monastery guesthouse (1 nt).
