Your Personal Budget
 
We plan the trip so once you depart, there's almost nothing to pay for.
 These are about  the only on-tour expenses that are outside of the trip package.
 
 
 
                                                                  
  
  -- Kathmandu lunches & dinners.  These can vary in price. In family restaurants, Nepal’s national dish of rice, lentils & curried vegetables is usually around $4.

 

 
 -- There will be an optional side trip during the rest and relaxation section: a Mountain Flight for a closer encounter with the Himalayas. Approximately $150. You can wait to decide on that option until we are in Nepal.    

 

  -- Airport departure taxes in Asia.  These are variable, and each could be zero, or up to $50

 

  -- Individual tips to our crew.   $100 (see details next page)

 

  -- Other optional activities that might be arranged during free time.  They would depend on people's interests.  These could be a feast of traditional Newari cuisine, an afternoon ride on ceremonial elephants, or a performance of classical Nepali dance.
