Since we run a company that’s linked to tourism, we are obligated to keep the environment clean, at any cost, no matter what. We are very serious about our environmental obligations & ensure that firewood is never used to cook food. In partnership with the Kathmandu Educational Environment Project (KEEP), we have contributed to a number of successful clean-up campaigns and awareness programs; its true that tourism is taking a toll on natural green landscapes, we believe that all should be committed to being a part of the solution for preserving Nepal’s natural beauty.

You can apply for a travel visa for Nepal at your country's Nepalese Embassy or Consulate Office. Likewise, you also have the option to apply for an on-arrival visa that you can obtain upon landing at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Kathmandu.

Most countries are eligible for on-arrival visas. However, citizens of some countries cannot get them. So, we suggest you check the details of the Nepal travel visa before deciding how you want to apply for a Nepal travel visa.

Our team will pick you up from the airport on your arrival day and drop you off at the international airport on your departure day. We provide complimentary airport pick-up and drop-off to our guests.
