Generally, due to bad weather conditions and poor visibility, flight delays or cancellation are likely to happen in mountain countries/regions. In such a case, we are not liable for any extra expenses or inconveniences. Since the weather of the mountain region is quite unpredictable, we suggest you arrange a minimum of 1 or 2 extra days (especially Everest region treks) so that you won’t miss your International flight. Further, we suggest you bring some extra cash to prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Changes to your trip and price due to natural disasters, flight delay etc.

Trip Notes

Note: The various destinations on Annapurna Circuit Trek such as Tal, Danaque, Chame, Manang, Muktinath, Jomsom, Kalopani and Tatopani are well connected with roads. Particularly, the road construction reaches up to Muktinath from Pokhara in the west and Chame, Manang in the east of Annapurna Circuit. Though the roads are not quite busier like in major highways, still the hiking trail passes through dirt road oftentimes creating trouble for many trekkers. So, we try to avoid the road as much as possible in our trek route. Having considered this, we get to Manang via Nar Phu valley. Similarly, we hike to from Muktinath to Jomsom via Lubra Pass. Our concern is to give you the best trekking experience by offering the best itinerary options available.

Flight delay in Jomsom

Jomsom airport lies at an elevation of 2,740 m in the mountainous region of Nepal. The weather gets unstable causing high speed winds as the day progresses in Jomsom. So most of the flights operate in the early morning to and from Jomsom. Sometimes, there are chances of flight cancellation due to unpredictable mountain weather, poor visibility and several technical reasons. In such event, “Trekking to Nepal” will arrange the alternative road transportation from Jomsom to Pokhara. 

Having said that, the expenses for vehicles will be covered from the reimbursement received from the flight ticket after deducting cancellation charge. So, please be informed that there will be no refund from the flight in the case of using alternative motor vehicles from Jomsom to Pokhara.

What makes this trip different ?

Trekking to Nepal is an online booking platform of Ace the Himalaya. Ace the Himalaya works closely with and is one of the main supporters of non-profit organization Sambhav Nepal.

Ace the Himalaya covers the administration cost of Sambhav Nepal as the staff working at Ace also help in admin work of Shambav Nepal. For instance: making proposals, collecting information for the related projects, visiting the project sites, coordinating the local governments/authorities etc. That’s why, Sambhav Nepal doesn't have their admin cost in the project it runs.

Furthermore, Sambhav Nepal  provides support to people with needs such as education and health in villages of Gorkha through the children sponsorship program. We sponsor children for school which are conducted successfully in full collaboration with Ace the Himalaya and its sister organizations, Ace Holidays and Ace Xpeditions.
