FAQs

On trek, a helicopter will be summoned which will take a maximum of 6 hours to reach you.

How much currency will I need?

You will need very little during the activity phases of the holiday: says USD 250 this should be carried in small denominations as change is hard to come by in the villages.

Our fleet consists of both a/c and non a/c vehicles of Japanese cars, mini vans and coaches.
