Payment Options

In Himalayan Pathways, you will feel at home and be sure that you are in safe hands once you choose to journey with us. Our mission is to simplify, streamline and make the booking and payment process smooth and transparent. We provide various payment methods, such as bank transfer, online payment, cash payment, to attract travelers of other nations and choices. We aim to ensure that you have an easy time in booking your trip.

Booking Deposit

After making the trip arrangements with Himalayan Pathways, you must pay a booking deposit to confirm reservation. With this deposit we are able to make arrangements that are vital like permits, accommodation, transportation and guides well in advance of the trip.

The amount of your deposits will be clearly explained to you prior to your confirmation of your booking. The deposit itself is a minor part of the overall trip price and will be adjusted to fit your payments at the end. Making the deposit is a confirmation of your booking and it will enable us to proceed with the preparation of the trip.

Full Payment before the Trip

You can pay the remaining portion of travel later and closer to the date of travelling. In most instances, tourists can settle the balance once they reach Nepal, either using cash or any other means of agreed payment. This gives flexibility and does not involve sending of all the amount upfront.

On a few trips, particularly those to Bhutan and Tibet, some or all payment before arrival can be necessary because of visa, permit and service arrangements. According to the tour you choose, our team will provide a clear explanation of the payment plan.

Payment Methods We Accept

Himalayan Pathways accepts the following methods of payment to make payment convenient:

Bank Transfer

Direct payments to our bank account are possible by travelers. Banking information will be sent after confirming your booking. A secure form of payment is bank transfer, but note that the payments made by banks or intermediaries may have extra charges. All transfer charges are asked to be paid by the travelers in order to get the whole booking cost.

Online Payment (Credit or Debit Card)

We also accept credit and debit cards as well as online payment. It is quick and convenient to those travelers who would rather pay in their home country. It should be noted that the processing fee applied by the payment gateway when making online payments is usually a minor charge.

Cash Payment

Payment in cash is made after arrival in Nepal. We take Nepalese Rupee, US Dollars, Euros and British Pounds. When paying in foreign currency, the travelers must make sure that the notes are clean and in excellent shape as demanded by the local banks.

Currency Information

The payment can be made using various currencies and the amount paid will be calculated according to the exchange rate that will be applicable at the time it is paid. We will have a team that will help in elucidating any questions that are related to currency.

Cancellations and Refunds

We realize that travel schemes are subject to change. In case you wish to cancel or make changes in your trip, then do inform us earlier.

Overall, the booking deposit is not refundable because it is utilized in preliminary trip arrangements. The deposit can be carried over to a later trip with Himalayan Pathways in certain instances. Both full and partial refunds of any advance payments made could be subject to our cancellation policy.

Himalayan Pathways appreciates trust and transparency. Any payment made is done in a secure manner and receipts are issued to all the transactions. The information on clients and payment methods remains confidential, and we make certain that all the payment processes are transparent and stable.
