Can you please advise on the quote for a single room? Can you please advise the quote for an upgrade to a 5* hotel?

If you would like to add on a single supplement the additional cost would be $1,020 USD. The single supplement excludes Day 4 (overnight train) & 6-8 (Guesthouse/Homestay), where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. Since this is a pre packaged itinerary we are not able to upgrade any of the accommodations however, on this trip we will be staying at 4 star + properties.

Can you help us with our visas if needed?

Unfortunately we are unable to give visa advice due to the vast number of nationalities which our customers represent. Some nationalities can travel freely over borders, where others require advance permission to enter. There are also changes in requirements from time to time. We recommend checking your local embassy or consulate's website for the latest up to date information.
