How to book holiday trip in Nepal?

Satori Adventures and Expedition aims at giving proper information to many travelers, trekkers, and climbers who have some confusion regarding the booking process of the trip in Nepal. Satori Adventures, therefore, desires to provide a guideline for first-time visitors or travelers so that they can comfortably start the process to book the selected package legally. Before starting the booking process, we always advise our trekkers, travelers, and climbers to intelligently check whether the company is genuine and whether they are fully safe to travel under the company's guidance. We ask them to be acquainted with the company they want to book their holiday trip with. Is the company genuine and authorized by the Government of Nepal, Office of the Company Registrar, Department of Tourism and Civil Aviation, Nepal Rastra Bank ‒Central Bank of Nepal (authorized for foreign currency), Permanent Account Number (PAN), and the Department of Cottage & Small Industries). Are they financially secured and environmentally conscious? We advise them to make sure about these formalities because some companies in Nepal have been running the business without abiding by governments' rules and regulations. Some companies were once registered, but their licenses have already expired, yet they have provided the services illegally.

On many occasions, the Government of Nepal and the Trekking Agency Association of Nepal have found that many foreigners' tour operators, NGOs, and INGOs have been directly operating tours, trekking, and mountaineering holiday adventures without having government license and abiding by the Government rules. It has also been found that many individuals, freelance guides, and porters have been arranging trips illegally by creating their own personal website. We have observed that many trekkers and climbers face a host of problems once they arrive in Kathmandu as they lack adequate information. Many of them file complaints to Nepal and the Trekking Agency Association of Nepal for legal action such as the refund of the advanced payment. There is hardly any justice given to the cheated clients. Thus, to prevent all these probable problems, we request our travelers to check the company before booking any Himalayas trip.

Climbing Information

Excellent trip with an excellent company- EBC & Island!

I recently traveled and Climb Cho-Oyu Expedition with Satori Adventures and was extremely impressed with their logistics and attention to detail. Even during some of the worst condition in years in Nepal, our trip was great, in no small part to the guides, porters and leaders at Satori adventures. They are true professionals, not to mention genuinely honest and great people, who provide a service that is second to none. If you travel with them, you will not be disappointed.
