Tour Options

Single Room Supplement
If you want to guarantee yourself a single room throughout the tour, then we need to add a single supplement charge.
If you are a single traveller joining one of our Standard level group tours, then if you are happy to, you may share a twin room with another single traveller on the tour of the same sex. If there are no other single travellers  available for you to pair up with at the time of your booking, then we will need to add the single supplement to your tour price, but will refund this or deduct it from your balance payment if we are able to pair you up later on.
Note: We cannot guarantee single rooms in the trekking lodges during peak seasons.  
Note: Couples will always be given a private double room, and triple/family rooms are available on request.
