FAQs

Will somebody come to pick me up at the airport upon my arrival?

Yes! One of our airport representatives will be at the airport to welcome you. They will have a Luxury Holidays Nepal signboard with your name underneath to help you find them. They will then take you to your hotel and help you check-in.

Additionally, a representative will come to your hotel around three hours before your scheduled flight to ensure you make it to the airport on time.

When is the best time to go to trek in Nepal?

The weather is probably the best guide for deciding when to plan your trip to Nepal. October and November are considered the best times of the year. The monsoon will have just ended, and clear skies with optimal temperature will prevail. The main festivals of Dashain and Tihar (the Hindu equivalent of Christmas in terms of festivity) fall during these months. However, this is also the busiest tourist season, and the main tourist centers and trekking trails tend to be crowded with travelers like you. The tourist flow ebbs a little, but not significantly, between the winter months of December and mid-February. It catches up once again between mid-February and mid-April. From mid-June to early October, it’s the monsoon, during which time it rains almost every day and most of the Himalayas are hidden behind the clouds. Check the weather section of this FAQ for more details on the weather. In short, plan to visit Nepal between October and May, keeping in mind that October-November and February-March are the best times (but crowded with other travelers).

Are your guides qualified to handle a medical emergency?

Our guides are qualified to handle small, primary medical emergencies as they are first-aid trained. And in the case of an emergency, then they will manage the emergency evacuation in cooperation with the Kathmandu team so that patients can get medical attention as soon as possible. Our guides carry an oximeter with them to regularly check the blood’s oxygen level, a first-aid box for minor injuries, and Diamox to prevent altitude sickness.
