Reservation

When?

We suggest to reserve each of your trip at least 6 months earlier. However, Expeditions suggested to plan 6-8 months earlier. Trekking destinations suggested to be fixed within 6 months. But, it is not to worry about timing so earlier. We would suggest to avoid hustle and to have a better plan. However, one-month earlier reservation is even smoother for you.
