Nepal to the Himalaya — FAQs

Do Nepali travellers need a visa for India?
Nepali citizens do not need a visa for India.
How long is the flight from Nepal to Delhi?
Kathmandu (KTM): nonstop, about 1.8 h with Nepal Airlines / IndiGo / 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 Nepali travellers?
Multi-day treks start at ₹4,499 (≈ Rs7,200) per person including guides, camping, meals and permits; 7-day Ladakh and Spiti tours are ₹18,000–35,000 (≈ Rs28,800–Rs56,000). 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 Nepali travellers?
Dashain–Tihar line up with the post-monsoon trekking season in Himachal and the last Spiti departures.
