Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book the Kathmandu & Pokhara Explorer package?

Send us an enquiry through the form on this page or on WhatsApp. We'll confirm availability for your dates, share a detailed quote, and once you're happy a small deposit secures your booking.

Can this itinerary be customised?

Absolutely. Every VMF Holidays trip is tailor-made — we can adjust the number of nights, swap hotels, add or remove cities and experiences in Nepal, and match the plan to your budget.

What does the price include?

Prices start from ₹30,000 per person and cover the inclusions listed above. Anything in the "Not Included" list — such as flights, personal expenses and optional activities — is extra. We'll give you a fully itemised quote with no hidden costs.

Are flights included?

This is a land package, so international/domestic flights are usually quoted separately. Just tell us your departure city and we'll add the best-value flights to your itinerary.

What is the payment and cancellation policy?

A deposit confirms your trip, with the balance due before departure. Cancellation terms depend on the hotels and services booked; we'll set everything out clearly in writing before you pay. See our Terms & Conditions for full details.

Is this trip suitable for families and honeymooners?

Yes — this 5N / 6D itinerary can be shaped for couples, families with children, or groups. Let us know who's travelling and we'll fine-tune the hotels and pace to suit.

1Booking & Payment Policy

To confirm your booking, a non-refundable advance of at least 50% of the total package cost is required at the time of booking; a higher advance may apply and is confirmed on your quotation.
As international airline tickets and certain hotels / services are non-refundable once issued, full or higher payment may be required earlier than for domestic tours.
The balance must be paid at least 45 days prior to departure, and in all cases before travel-document / visa processing; for bookings within 45 days, full payment is required at confirmation.
Payments can be made via bank transfer, UPI, cheque, or other modes communicated by VMF Holidays.
The booking stands confirmed only after receipt of payment and written acknowledgment from VMF Holidays.

Air tickets, visa fees, and non-refundable hotels are non-refundable once booked and are charged in full at actuals in every case, over and above the applicable cancellation fee.
Cancellation charges apply to the full package cost regardless of the amount paid to date; any shortfall is payable by the traveller.
Refunds, where applicable, are processed within 10–15 working days of a written cancellation request.

3Amendments & Changes

Requests for date change, itinerary modification, or name change must be made at least 21 days prior to departure.
Any amendment is subject to availability and may attract additional cost, including any supplier re-booking charge or fare / tariff difference.
No refund will be made for unused services, missed sightseeing, or early departure during the tour.

4Passport, Visa & Travel Documents

Every traveller must hold a passport valid for at least six (6) months beyond the tour return date, with sufficient blank pages for visa stamping.
Obtaining the correct visa is the traveller's responsibility; VMF Holidays assists with documentation but does not guarantee visa approval.
Visa fees and charges for biometrics, appointments, or additional documents are not included unless expressly stated.
Visa rejection or delay by the concerned embassy / consulate does not entitle the traveller to a refund of the package cost or visa fees — standard cancellation charges apply.
Denied boarding or entry by any airline or immigration authority is beyond VMF Holidays' control and carries no refund.

5Foreign Exchange & Pricing

International package rates are based on the foreign-exchange rate, airfare, and taxes prevailing on the date of quotation.
Rates may be revised in case of significant currency fluctuation, or a change in airfare or taxes, before full payment is received.
Personal foreign-exchange / spending money is to be arranged by the traveller and is not included.

6International Flights & Baggage

Airfare, airline taxes, and baggage allowance are governed by the respective airline's policy; excess-baggage charges are payable directly by the traveller.
VMF Holidays is not responsible for flight delays, cancellations, rescheduling, or schedule changes by the airline.
Missed connections or unused services arising from flight changes are not the responsibility of VMF Holidays.

7Travel Insurance & Health

Overseas travel and medical insurance is strongly recommended, and is mandatory for certain destinations; it is the traveller's responsibility unless included in writing.
Vaccinations, health certificates, and fitness requirements as per the destination country's regulations are the traveller's responsibility.

In case of non-availability of the listed hotel, an equivalent category hotel will be arranged.

9Transportation & Sightseeing

Air-conditioned vehicles will be provided as per the itinerary for transfers and sightseeing.
The vehicle operates strictly as per the itinerary and not on a disposal basis.
Vehicle timings and routes are subject to local regulations, traffic, and weather conditions.
The sequence of sightseeing may be rearranged by the tour manager / driver to ensure smooth operation, but all inclusions will be covered.

10Meals & Inclusions

Meals and inclusions are provided as per the final confirmed itinerary.
Meals will be fixed-menu or buffet, depending on the hotel or restaurant arrangement.

11Force Majeure & Unforeseen Events

VMF Holidays shall not be liable for any delay, curtailment, change in itinerary, or additional cost arising from circumstances beyond our control — natural calamities, weather, strikes, political unrest, pandemics or health advisories, flight / train cancellations, or accidents.
In such events the applicable cancellation charges and any non-recoverable supplier costs still apply, and any additional expense is borne by the traveller directly.
Where feasible, VMF Holidays may at its sole discretion offer a future-travel credit for the recoverable portion; this is a goodwill measure and does not constitute an entitlement to a refund.

VMF Holidays will not be responsible for loss of valuables, documents, or personal belongings during the trip.
Any misbehaviour or misconduct causing inconvenience to others may result in immediate expulsion from the tour without any refund.

VMF Holidays acts as an intermediary between hotels, airlines, transport providers, and other service suppliers.
While we ensure reliable service, we are not responsible for any injury, damage, delay, or loss caused by third-party operations or negligence.
