We are happy to organize single rooming accommodations and a tea house upgrade for you throughout the expedition. If you snore or are easily awakened by others that do snore, this might be a great option. We feel that having a single room helps climbers stay healthy and adds a bit of comfort and personal space that can go a long way on a long expedition like Ama Dablam. If you would like a single rooming option please let us know. Please note that tent accommodations on Ama Dablam are double-occupancy for warmth and safety.

We stay at some of the nicest teahouses in the Khumbu valley throughout our trek to keep you healthy and to provide you with comfort. Many teahouses offer room upgrades which may include an en suite bathroom and more space, whereas our normal rooms generally have a shared bathroom and shower for an added fee.

Kathmandu is one of the most exciting, culturally rich cities in the world. Unique and overflowing with sights, smells, sounds, and tastes, it’s both chaotic and charming. It is a city of true contrast that needs to be experienced to be understood. During our Kathmandu Cultural Tour, an English-speaking guide will show you the best history and culture the city has to offer.

Take in the spectacular views of the Himalayas while paragliding over Lake Pokhara. Nepal offers some of the best flying in the world, with low-lying valleys, high, cold mountains, and natural rising thermals that you can share with the hawks! You can fly with world-class pilots in tandem or stay longer and benefit from their wealth of experience, and you can get your international license in Nepal. Spend a few days at the Lake and truly unwind with a change of scenery.

On a mission to tick off the best treks in the world? Why not take advantage of your fitness and experience the Annapurna region with either the Sanctuary Walk (slightly shorter and slightly lower altitude) or the Annapurna Circuit (slightly longer and crosses the 5,416m Thorong La pass into the Mustang region).

One of Nepal’s greatest drawcards, Chitwan National Park is a World Heritage Site that protects 932 sq km of forest and grasslands. It is arguably the best place in Asia to view wild game, including horned rhinos, monkeys, deer, and over 500 species of bear. If you are lucky, you may even spot a leopard, sloth, elephant, or even the elusive Bengal tiger!

Trekking in the Upper Mustang is a very rare privilege, and it has only been open to non-Nepali for just over 15 years. Here, you will experience the way of life of true mountain people, who for hundreds of years had very little contact with the rest of Nepal and retained their rich cultural heritage. In many ways, visiting the Upper Mustang is similar to Tibet, as geographically, it is part of the Tibetan plateau.

We welcome you to invite friends and family to join you for all, or part of your 3 Peaks expedition.

The benefits are:

• The joy of sharing this once in a lifetime experience with your loved ones
• Lessening the time apart
• Puts family at ease as they get a first hand understanding and empathy of the nature of your expedition and goal

The Everest Base Camp trek is widely heralded as the best trek in the world and for good reason; it’s beautiful, challenging yet achievable, and incredibly scenic. Roughly 40 miles/70 km you will trek through lush green pastures, blossoming Rhododendron forests and the most spectacular mountain terrain in the world.

Adding 2 extra days to the usual Everest Base Camp schedule family and friends are welcome to stay with you the entire time and relax at Lobuche Base Camp while you climb (time apart is minimal)

Following your ascent you will journey together into Everest Base Camp Proper at 17,600ft/ 5,500m where, being affiliated with an Everest climbing expedition, your friends and family are also able to enter and spend 2x nights within Base Camp, something the vast majority of trekkers never experience.

This allows them to get a sense of the Everest base camp scene and community and what goes into an Everest expedition. If they are feeling good you have the added option to join our climbing clinic, scale Kala Pathar the morning they leave base camp for stunning views of the Everest Massif, Lhotse and Nuptse.

Your family and friends can then splinter off and return down valley if they are pressed for time with our other trekkers, spend extra nights at Base Camp, do the Gokyo Extension or join you for the entire 3 Peaks Circuit.

Family and Friends often love to stay with you for your entire expedition and the 3 peaks trekking circuit is an ideal adventure to do this with you as it allows your loved ones to not only do the most spectacular trek in the world in Everest Base Camp but explore off the beaten track elements of the Khumbu Valley as they trek with you into Pokalde & Island Peak base camps too. These are seldom seen valleys off the main route full of authentic Sherpa culture minus the crowds.

Given the alpine climbing starts, the time you actually spend apart (whilst you are climbing and summiting) is actually minimal and a great time for them to kick back with some Chai tea and enjoy being in the majestic Himalaya far from the madding crowds

Nepal’s visa policy is relatively relaxed and straightforward. Citizens of almost any country can obtain a visa on arrival at Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International airport or at any road border. You can also obtain a visa at the Nepal embassy or consulate in your home country.

For most of our expeditions, you will need a 30-day (US$50) or 90-day (US$125) visa.

Tourist visa can be extended for a maximum period of 150 days in a single visa year (January – December)

Visa requirements can change at any time, so it is worth checking with your travel agent or the closest embassy for the most up-to-date information.
