Required documents for visa
Passport with 6+ months validity, one blank page, and cash (newer U.S. bills preferred) for visa fees. Indian citizens must present a passport or an election ID card, but Aadhaar cards are not accepted.
Visa Extensions
Process at the Department of Immigration (Kathmandu) or offices in Pokhara/Kakarvitta. Apply before expiration to avoid fines ($ 6 per day for overstay). Non-tourist visas (e.g., business, study) require conversion upon arrival and take 2 months or more to process.

We are a 100% Sherpa-owned company registered with the Nepalese Government, which means the Sherpa community has a direct Stake in our operations. Our team comprises experienced Sherpa guides and staff deeply rooted in Himalayan culture and mountaineering traditions, which ensures authentic, safe, and culturally immersive experiences.
We offer treks, tours, and expeditions across Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, and India. In Nepal, we cover iconic routes like Everest, Kanchenjunga, Manaslu, Upper Dolpo, Annapurna, and more.
The Ideal Months are October–December (with clear skies both day and night, harvesting season and festivals) and mid-March–May (when wildflowers bloom, temperatures are mild, and longer daylight).
The monsoon months typically run from June to September. Expect heavy rains after late afternoon and at night, as well as landslides. However, you’ll enjoy limited mountain views, fewer crowds, and lower prices.
The winter months are December–February: cold but excellent for jungle safaris in Chitwan and trekking in the mid-hills (Poon Hill/Ghorepani or Peekye), as well as tours and safaris in India.
All guides are certified experts with extensive knowledge of local terrain, culture, and emergency protocols. Many are seasoned climbers with personal experience at high altitudes.
