Luxury Tour in Nepal FAQs

Find answers to the most common questions about the Luxury Tour in Nepal, including permits, itinerary, cost, and difficulty.

What is the difference between a luxury tour and a standard tour in Nepal?

The luxury tour package includes 4- and 5-star hotels, private vehicles (not shared vehicles), a dedicated guide, and pre-booked domestic flights with a standard tour usually incorporating budget hotels, shared vehicles and less services included. Eleven days on the Premium Tour from Royal Holidays Adventure, the tour is designed around this comfort standard, meaning passengers only have one standard price and are guaranteed a consistently comfortable experience from start to finish.

How many days do I need for a Nepal luxury tour?

Royal Holidays Adventure planned its popular Premium Tour to last for eleven days and is not so rushed between trips to be able to cover all the three destinations – Kathmandu, Chitwan and Pokhara. Shorter 5-6 day versions are available if you are willing to miss out on the wildlife safari or the lakeside stay and our consultants will reassemble the itinerary around the days that you have available.

Is Nepal expensive for a luxury vacation?

Nepal is still less expensive than most Asian luxury tour destinations even at the top end of the scale, and an eleven day fully guided Luxury Tour will cost around two thousand US dollars per person or more for hotels, transportation, flights and guiding. Five star-only packages, private helicopter transfers or travelling alone increase the cost of the package, but even the highest of the Luxury Hotels in Nepal are not as expensive as those in nearby countries.

What is included in the luxury package tour price?

The package price for a full luxury package is typically a single, upfront price, which is usually inclusive of a professional guide, domestic airfare, hotel accommodation, entry permits for the country, private ground transport, and airport transfers. The cost of alcoholic drinks, spa treatments, travel insurance and tips are typically charged on top of the room rate, and all inclusions/exclusions are clearly stated before you make a booking on the Royal Holidays Adventure website.

Do luxury tours in Nepal include the Everest flight?

Yes, most Premium Tours, including our eleven-day itinerary, include a one-hour scenic flight over Mount Everest and the surrounding Himalayan range as a core highlight rather than an optional extra. The flight departs early morning from Kathmandu on a clear weather day, and window seats are arranged for every passenger, so nobody misses the mountain view.

Are Nepal’s luxury hotels comparable to five-star hotels elsewhere in Asia?

Nepal’s best Luxury Hotels in Nepal, especially in Kathmandu and Pokhara, are like international five-star hotels. Its room quality, dining and spa facilities are great, but the country is not as well-known for large international chains as other destinations such as Thailand or the UAE. Many travelers prefer a property with distinctive architecture and service rather than a standardization of the world’s service brands and the accommodation they provide, and this is where boutique heritage properties often outperform the chains of hotel establishments.

What is the best time of year for a luxury tour in Nepal?

Late September through November and March through May are the best times for booking a Premium Tour, as the weather is stable and clear and the temperatures are the most comfortable. City and Chitwan-based trips can be enjoyed in the winter season, and the summer monsoon (June to August) is not recommended because of delays and flights and loss of visibility in the mountains.

Can a luxury tour in Nepal be customized?

Yes, Royal Holidays Adventure tailors every Luxury Tour in Nepal to certain travel dates, group size, mobility requirements and interest, including changing the Ghandruk village night to more time in Pokhara or adding a private helicopter section. Provide your travel requirements and interests to our travel specialists and they will customize the standard eleven-day tour around your needs, with no extra charge for your planning.

Is Chitwan National Park worth including in a luxury tour?

Chitwan provides added value to the cultural and mountain part of the trip with jeep safaris, canoe rides and possible encounters with Bengal tigers and one-horned rhino. Luxury jungle resorts here are of the same standard as city hotels and travelers don’t have to compromise on their stay when they have the jungle experience.

How far in advance should I book a Nepal luxury tour?

If you are traveling to Nepal in the autumn or spring season, it is suggested that you make your bookings at least 3 to 6 months in advance as there is high demand for both the luxury hotels in Nepal and domestic flights during this period. Availability can be confirmed within one business day after you put in your preferred travel window for last-minute bookings outside of peak seasons with Royal Holidays Adventure.
