It is up to you to get your visa:
=> WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU ESTABLISH YOUR VISA upon arrival in Kathmandu (the simplest solution).
In this case, we advise you to apply for a visa in advance online on the following site (Online Service) “visa application on arrival”: https://nepaliport.immigration.gov.np/on-arrival/IO01
This procedure (optional) must be done a maximum of 14 days before your departure (validity period of the receipt of this online visa pre-application). Your pre-application receipt must be presented upon arrival, along with your passport and a copy of your passport, at the visa office. Payment is made on site when the visa is issued.
=> It is also possible to issue your visa at the Nepalese embassy in your country of residence, BUT WE DO NOT RECOMMEND IT, because we will not be able to provide you with your trekking permit more than 10 days before your departure, the deadline for establishing your visa before departure will then be too tight.
Visa cost:
- 30 USD or the equivalent in euros (to be paid in cash) for a maximum validity of 15 days.
- 50 USD or the equivalent in euros (to be paid in cash) for a maximum validity of 30 days
ATTENTION: TREK PERMIT: to allow us to establish your trekking permit in Nepal, please send the scan of the first page of your passport (page with the photo) to the following email address: reservation@basecamptrek.com
Expect:
> 2 identity photos (4 photos if you participate in the Manaslu program).
> Travelers are asked by the Nepalese immigration services to bring 200 dollars or the equivalent in euros in cash to pay for their visas upon arrival (the Visa price for a 15-day program is indeed 30 USD), as the online payment system generates long queues.

Important information
Level/Physical Intensity **
Superb trekking at moderate altitude (4400 m maximum). It is intended for healthy and physically fit people who are able to walk 5 to 6 hours a day at a slow pace, on well-marked trails without technical difficulty.
Superb trekking at moderate altitude (4400 m maximum). It is intended for healthy and physically fit people who are able to walk 5 to 6 hours a day at a slow pace, on well-marked trails without technical difficulty.
The reasonable length of the stages and a gradual rise in altitude (5 days to climb from 1700 m to 4400 m) allow everyone to fully enjoy the landscape. During the trek, your luggage is transported by a porter. So you will only carry the things for the day in your backpack.
Yoga is a thousand-year-old Indian discipline that aims to unify mind, soul, and body.
Regular practice reduces fatigue, stress and calms the flow of emotions and thoughts, often at the origin of our physical, psychological and emotional tensions. This practice improves the physiological functioning of our body and brings profound relaxation. In the practice of yoga postures, as well as in relaxation times, the dimension of the breath is essential. Everyone advances at their own pace, without competitiveness and with respect for their abilities. There is no level required to register for this trip, beginners are accepted.
Electricity
Generally round cards as in France.
You have access to electricity in almost all lodges, access sometimes for a fee (1 to 2€).
Tips
Tipping is at your own discretion. In some countries, such as Nepal, it is nevertheless an integral part of the country's culture and varies according to itinerary and duration. A prize pool is created, and given to the members of the team at the end of the trip.
Here are the recommended amounts for a participant, they are given as an indication (you can of course give more than the amounts indicated) and take into account the standard of living in order not to destabilize economic balances.
We recommend that you provide 2 envelopes:
=> One for the entire trekking team (except your French-speaking guide), given at the end of the program (during the last evening) for the assistant guide (s) and the porters. Indicative amount given for a participant:
€4 per day of trekking, i.e. €40 (15-day programs) to €60 (20-day programs).
=> The other for your French-speaking guide (given the day before your return, or at the airport on the day of your return flight). Indicative amount given for a participant:
€2 per day of trekking, i.e. €20 (15-day programs) to €30 (20-day programs).
Ecology
- To avoid the pollution of the Himalayas, and leave only the trace of your steps:
- Bring a bottle and Micropur purification tablets, plastic bottles are not biodegradable in the short term and Nepal is not equipped to treat this waste.
- In the same spirit, take your batteries and other non-recyclable waste locally.
- Refuse plastic bags by bringing or buying a small cotton bag on site for your purchases to leave only the trace of our steps.
NB: you are going to participate in an “adventure” program, a travel formula that is totally different from conventional tourist circuits: the discomfort, the unexpected, the health conditions, which we may encounter, suppose everyone has a good spirit of tolerance and a taste for adventure.
Through your active and positive participation, you will contribute to the cohesion and good understanding of the group, which is a guarantee of the success of the trip.
