After the recent protests in Nepal, we understand some travelers may feel hesitant about their plans. Tourism is running smoothly, and Nepal remains safe to visit.
To reassure both new and already booked travelers, we have outlined our Risk-Free Booking Policy. This ensures that no matter when you booked, your holiday plans remain flexible and your finances secure.
RISK-FREE BOOKING POLICY ALLOWS YOU TO:
Confirm your trip with a 20% security deposit. The balance is payable upon arrival in Nepal. Please note: the 20% security deposit is strictly non-refundable.
If you have already booked or are planning a new trip and cannot travel due to protests, unrest, pandemics, or personal reasons, you can postpone without penalty by contacting us in advance. You do not need to decide on new dates immediately. Your deposit will remain as a lifetime credit with no expiry date, valid for any future trip once you are ready.
Once we agree to the postponement together, your deposit will be officially secured for your next trip with us. The credit is applied on a per-person basis, so you are not required to travel with the same number of people as originally booked. We understand group sizes may change in the future, and your credit will remain valid per person.
WHY BOOK (OR KEEP) YOUR TRIP NOW?
Whether you are booking today or have already confirmed your trek, Nepal Hiking Team ensures your plans and deposit are safe.
Postponing instead of canceling protects your deposit and keeps your trip alive for the future. This way, you avoid cancellation loss, secure your trip by booking today, and keep complete freedom to travel later when the timing works best for you.
WHAT ABOUT ANY TRIP CANCELLATIONS?
If you cancel your trip entirely, the 20% deposit will be forfeited and cannot be transferred as credit.
Cancellations result in a complete loss of this deposit, as arrangements are set in motion from the time of booking.
That’s why we strongly recommend postponement instead of cancellation. By postponing, whether you booked long ago or recently, your deposit is safe, carried forward as lifetime credit, and usable on any future date.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
