    Asked on October 22nd, 2023

    Is it possible to do the trek with 2 kids of 15 and 13 who are used to long treks? Is there no other date in March? What would be the cost of changing the return bus from Pokhara to Katmandu by a flight?

      1. This is doable for 13 & 15 years old. 2. It could be a family trip and so a flexible private tour for additional amount of $55 a person (adult and children). 3. Additional $125 would be added per person for including flight.
