Since we have not yet offered packages with ‘flights’, our customers who book with us had thought, if there are risks for mismatch in the time schedule. For eg. One has booked one of our package for 20 days. But he can only book his flight for 19 or 18 days (because of the availability of flights from the specific airlines of choice) or because of price. In that case, there is a risk. So in that case, you have to inform us, then we would ammend our itenery in such a way that your schedule would be compatible. For this please make sure that the difference should be at most 2 or maximum 3 days.
If your schedule is longer than the duration of your package, there is also no problem. On your request, we can arrange some additional holiday offerings on additional cost (e.g. sightseeing in some historical places, wellness, yoga or religious entertainment etc). An important thing, one has to consider in mind is that in winter season (after December until start of February), there is a high probability of delay in domestic flights.

Yetiland-nepal does not yet offer the holiday packages including the flight. So one has to book the flight for the duration as mentioned in the packages. E.g. the package offer is for 26 days, then if the flight is booked for 25 days or 27 days or with a difference of maximum +/- 2 days, that does not effect the schedule. Important is that, you have to inform us in time via E-Mail or any other means. The procedures are: First go through our offers, chose the one you like. Secondly Book the flight for the period of your choice. Thirdly book our offer. Fourth inform about your arrival and departure date. You just need to be there on the informed day, the rest would be done by us. That is why our Motto is, “From arrival until departure, we take care of you”.

Holidays in Nepal without any information on the places and routes is quite difficult. In most of the packages which include tour in the hilly regions, guides are required and hence they are also included. In some offers, where one can enjoy independently, no guides are required. If you are going to book Expedition with us, then guides are obviously available. If you are travelling with your back-pack and cannot carry throughout the different hilly regions then one can also hire a porter. We take extra care of such things and hence has in all offers considered. However it is adviceable to read ‘Cost Include / Exclude’ section of each package to know more details on things included in the cost and things not included.

There are three categories in yetiland-nepal offers. They are:
Holiday: This is suitable for people who want to enjoy the beautiful Nature and scenaries in Nepal. A typical holiday where one can forget everything from the all day stress and activities. On request one can also have Yoga or wellness bookings. These may sometime include, sightseeing, travelling in private Cars, some adventerous activities like Rafting, bungee-jumping, paragliding in Sarangkot etc. Also some packages include luxurious offers such as mountain flight (view of mountains flying in an aeroplane, private helicopter). This category is also suitable for Family.Trek: This category is suitable to make holiday travelling through different places. One can see the highest montain ranges still travelling in hilly regions and not even approaching the big mountains. It seems that the mountains are just on the next part of the next hill however they are apart. For this category, one should enjoy walking for some hours per day. Specially, walking on the beautiful hills enjoying the beutiful weather, landscape, fresh air and with different view points, rivers etc, one does not notice the tireness during the trip. This will lead to a very good sleep and refreshment the next day. This is specially perfect for those who are mostly working the whole day in office and want to move out and have some fresh air during the holiday. Specially if you travel hills up and down, the blood circulation is extreme in comparison to walk long flat. The category Trek is to travel to some remote hilly regions enjoying the beautiful scenaries of various parts alongwith various activities.
Peak: This category is only for those who are learning mountain climbings. This is not expedition rather only climbing some white mountains and experience or learn further professional climbing. This requires to be equipped and includes also the peak above 7000m. Hence very good health condition and insurance are recommended. This is not regarded as holiday, what one can have with family and kids. Hence, previous knowledge of mountaineering is ‘nice to have’ otherwise, there are also offers which is suitable for climbing beginners. However, one who do not have any experience can also try to attemt a peak. For this it is recommended to cover enough rist and return insurance when something went wrong. There are even people who try to climb without any experience but then have to be returned back in a chartered helicopter.
Expedition: This category is extremely professional. One who is willing to climb the highest mountains in the world can book this category. The whole schedule until the end is organized from professionals. This is only once in a life time experience and is quite expensive than the other normal offers. Sometime one may need oxygen cylinders, or also have provision of rescue operation, hence it is better to read thoroughly all the information regarding the ‘cost include / exclude’ and other important information as of what provisions are included in the offers. For more information one can contact us any time.
-
If your time schedule (time between departure and arrival date) differ within +/- 2 days of the duration included in offers, one can easily manage, otherwise the trip would be aborted in advance with cancellation of certain activities in order to shorten the Iteneray, but for this no money would be reduced or reimbursed. Please inform us in advance for this.
-
With the start of mid-December the domestic morning flights would be delayed due to fog. This is important becuase of the safety reasons as well. Until end of January the morning visibility due to fog would not be within the predefined range of aviation. Hence due to delay it can happen that the morning scheduled flight can be cancelled even after 1 or 2 hours waiting. In such case, an alternative plan would be spontaneously organized (e.g. drive via Bus) so that the package or the schedule would not be hampered.
-
Before booking please see additional information in the corresponding package. If you have any question, please inquire us. Some packages mentioned the suitable months and hence is only suitable for booking on these days. Even though if one has to visit Nepal apart from the proper season, then please contact us, we can arrange something extra. If you buy a ticket apart from the mentioned season, then it does not make sense to book the offer. Hence contact us directly, we can arrange something for you.

1 Pax: For 1 people
2 Pax: for 2 people

The cost shown in the display before entering the cart is the rate. For e.g. if in the display a cost of €1300 is shown. This mean the total cost for 1 Package (or the rate per person). If one has to book for two persons, then chose 2 Pax, but the rate would be changed (mostly reduced) let us say for e.g. €1270. With this condition if you add to cart then a total amount of 2 x €1270 = €2540 would be charged. Further if 3 Pax and above is selected then say the new rate would be automatically changed, let us assume €1200. Then the total amount of money to be paid in Cart is €3600 (3x€1200). However during the booking, one has to be careful about the additional charges depending upon the payment method slected.

No. It is absolutely prohibited to drink water from Tap or any other sources. Even though Nepal is very rich in water resources, due to unorganized industrialization in big cities and due to higher densed population, thus resulting in contamination of water resources. The tap water can be contaminous and only recommended to drink after boiling or after thorough filtering. In the high hills in the Himalayas, if there is any natural resources of water one can taste because sometime the water can be fresh and tasty as well, but there is no claim that even there also it does not contain any bacteria.

Yes this is partially true. If one is in some local restuarant or hotel in high hilly areas, one has to explicitly inform not to put too many chilli during cooking. This does not however mean, all the Nepalese food contain chilli. Mostly people in Nepal eat meat (Chicken, goat, Bufallo and Fish), lensil soup and vegetable curry along with rice or Chapati. Specially vegetable curry is made with lot of spices and sometime as per need also chilli. However this does not mean all Nepali people eat chilli.
Apart from Chilli, most vegetable curry include garlic. One of the traditional food called ‘Thakali’ (including all seven types of nobility food) is very popular in different parts of the coutnry and is very tasty. These include prickles (chilli) and vegetable curry (with Garlic). Nepali people also eat some sour food (compare with ‘Sauergurke Sauerkraut, Rote-Bete’) called ‘Gundruk’ (dried leaves and made sour putting in a glass for some period of time). A very common food ‘Dal-Bhat-Tarkari’ is available everywhere along with varities of prickles.

There were days during the 10 years of inter political and communist revolution where one section among the current open political parties, took over weapons and started the so called ‘Maoist Revolution’. These days were very hard for the development of Nepalese generation and also effected on the infrastructural and economical development. After this period, Nepal turned into peace process and the current Monarchy was demolished with the start of new Republic. Even though during this period, the Tourism sector was still running however not booming. Nepal is a renowned Tourist desitination in the world. Nepal has also it’s history that some inventions and infrastructures have been built from foreigners. A Typical example can be considered the first climbing of Mount Everest, which was accomplished by Sir Edmund Hillary alongwith a sherpa Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. Once one visit Nepal and knows about the good people living on the high hills or on the plain Terrain, experiences the hospitality shown by the people. It is culture for the Nepalese people to serve the tourist and foreigners as special guest. All in all, Nepal is safe to travel and one would certainly have a very warm hospitality during the stay. Specially the sherpas who carry your big luggages making your trip exciting and successful is one of the examples.

Even though there are varieties of things to enjoy in Nepal, mostly Nepal is popular for her tallest mountains and beautiful untouched virgin Nature. Nepal contains various mountain ranges on the north, is also rich in water resources, which makes the country very beautiful and along with holiday friendly weather condition, is a very popular holiday destination in World. There is a wrong concept that one has to be physically fit and sporty to travel to Nepal because there are only high mountains etc. This concept is wrong because the lowest point in Nepal is at 59 m from sea level (Mukhiyapatti Musarniya). However the altitude varies from almost sea level (on the south) until the top of the world 8848 m (in the north). The trend is that people would like to travel through the hills and mountains, experience the various fluora and fauna, different culture, different landscape as one travels from south towards north. This is special because one can see the big lakes or storming river down the hills and all the mountains ranges upward. The feeling is awesome and magnificent everywhere. Specially most attractive natural places are far away from the main road and mostly people like to walk to the destination enjoying the beautiful landscape. You can compare the scneario as if you are travelling (Wandering) in Rehinland Pfalz along the trekking tour high above Mosel (e.g. in Cochem or Trier) watching the river downside. So to distinguish and make people easy to distinguish among the type of holiday offer, we have categorized three difficulty levels.
Easy: This is for those who would like to have a relaxing holiday. One can enjoy the beautiful landscape and even the mountains, rivers alongside adventerous activities like rafting, paragliding etc. One can also enjoy travelling through local buses or hire private cars (in some of our offers, they are inclusive) and even fly through aeroplanes. There are also offers with ‘Mountain Flight’.
Medium: This is category of holiday offer, where one need to walk 3-4 hours per day since this is a trekking tour. Such holiday has it’s own character and include varities of activities apart from only trekking.
Difficult: For people trying to climb peaks and try expedition in highest mountains, definitely one has to be fit. Hence is the difficulty level for such offers ‘Difficult’.
One should also take note that the difficulty level are also considered with the altitude. Normal person can travel until 4000-5000 m. However, if one has to travel on this altitude for longer days, then one has to be fit. However, apart from Peak and Expedition, for all other offers one need not be afraid of altitude. People are experienced out there and would really take good care of you. One has to forget all unnecessary myths and rumors. There were almost above 1 million tourist who travelled in Nepal.If you want to book a normal holiday and can walk then book either Easy (for this you dont even need to walk too much) or Medium. Specially the holiday offers with category ‘Holiday‘ and ‘Trek‘ are suitable for normal holidays.

Nepal offers, jungle camping, rafting, paragliding, hiking, trekking, peak climbing and even to expedition. If one is interested, one can also invest a day in meditation, Yoga or wellness. One can also invest an additional day learning different culture and participate in local festivals. Some few kilometers drive from the capital city offers you the chance of Rafting, bunjee jumping etc. Apart from that if the season offers, one can even participate in harvesting alongwith the local farmers. There were people enjoying their 60th birthday in the base camp of mount everest, crying with happiness (dropping down the tears) after reaching the destination (because of the beautiful nature and enjoyment). Nepal offers mesmerizing experience. Visiting Nepal is just once in a lifetime experience.

All of our offers is a guided tour or guided travel. Which means there is at least one to take care of you. Nepal government offers a regulation and certification system for the guides. Hence our guides are experienced and certified. Without a guide, travelling in Nepal is quite difficult. Almost in all of our offers, a english speaking guide and hotels are inclusive (otherwise explicitly mentioned). If you require a German speaking guide, one can arrange but is only available for category Holiday and Trekking but not for peak climbing and expedition.
Sherpas are special cultural group of people living in highland. They are used to with the high-altitude and can live longer in low and densed oxygen condition. Specially when one climbs above 5000m the level of oxygen would reduced and the air becomes thinner. Hence, in such conditions, only Sherpa can guide you throughout your climbing and expedition.
