Hong Kong to the Himalaya — FAQs

Do Hong Kong travellers need a visa for India?
HKSAR passport holders are eligible for the Indian e-Tourist Visa. Apply at indianvisaonline.gov.in — the e-Tourist Visa is usually issued in 3–5 business days; carry a printout.
How long is the flight from Hong Kong to Delhi?
Hong Kong (HKG): nonstop, about 6 h with Cathay Pacific / Air India. All our trips start from hubs reached from Delhi by overnight bus, a short domestic flight or the Chandigarh / Dehradun / Leh airports.
How much does a Himalayan trek cost for Hong Kong travellers?
Multi-day treks start at ₹4,499 (≈ HK$400) per person including guides, camping, meals and permits; 7-day Ladakh and Spiti tours are ₹18,000–35,000 (≈ HK$1,595–HK$3,095). Prices are the same for Indian and foreign guests. Payment is in INR by international card (Visa / Mastercard / Amex) through Razorpay.
Do I need permits as a foreign national?
Ladakh's Nubra, Pangong and Tso Moriri need a Protected Area Permit (we arrange it; send a passport scan 2 weeks ahead). Spiti via the Kinnaur road needs an Inner Line Permit for foreigners (arranged on arrival in Rekong Peo); via Manali no permit is needed. Peaks above 6,000 m need IMF registration and, for expedition peaks, an X (mountaineering) visa.
What about altitude sickness?
Every itinerary above 3,000 m is built around acclimatisation (Leh: 36 h rest on arrival; treks: gradual gain, climb-high-sleep-low). Trek leaders carry oximeters, oxygen and a first-aid kit, and are trained in AMS protocols. Arrive one day early if you can, hydrate, and talk to your doctor about Diamox.
Is travel insurance required?
Yes — a policy covering trekking to the trip's maximum altitude and helicopter evacuation. World Nomads, Global Rescue and most home-country insurers offer this; we ask for the policy number before departure.
What is the best time for Hong Kong travellers?
Hong Kong's hiking community targets the Hampta Pass, Spiti and Ladakh in July–August and the Himachal autumn treks in October.
