    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten January 2025

      Unfortunately, we don't have any other tours that connect Kathmandu and China, so unable to do it in reverse.

  • M

    Marilyn

    Asked on February 4th, 2024

    Could you please let me know what provisions are made by the tour company for people who may get altitude sickness.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Intrepid TravelOperatorWritten February 2024

      Parts of your trip go above 2800 metres / 9200 feet where it is common for travellers to experience some adverse health effects due to the altitude. Before your trip, discuss pre-existing medical conditions with your doctor. While our group leader has basic first aid training, it is very important that you monitor your health and seek assistance accordingly.
