inclusive package tours only for which tariff is set
by the Royal Government. The Government’s fixed

For all cultural tours the booking must be
complete at least 04 weeks in advance but for tours
during festivals 08 weeks advance confirmation is
required. Festivals held in autumn and spring are
peak time for the tourists and without early
reservation it can be very difficult to confirm
flights and hotels.
For trekking groups, it is important to do booking
at least 08 weeks in advance as it requires plenty
of planning.
