At Walkers Expedition, we believe that the end of your journey should be just as seamless and stress-free as the beginning. To ensure a smooth transition from the ancient streets of Kathmandu to your international departure, please take note of the following logistics:
1. Airport Transfer Service
Your package includes a private, air-conditioned transfer from your hotel to Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA).
Timing: Your driver will meet you in the hotel lobby exactly 3.5 hours prior to your scheduled flight departure.
Traffic Factor: Kathmandu traffic can be unpredictable. By leaving 3.5 hours early, we account for potential delays, ensuring you have ample time for check-in and security.
2. The Farewell Ceremony
On your final evening or just before your airport drop-off, a representative from Walkers Expedition will meet with you for a brief farewell meeting.
Feedback: We value your experience. This is a great time to share your highlights or suggestions.
Souvenir: As a token of our appreciation for choosing us as your Himalayan thought partner, you will receive a traditional Nepali Khada (silk scarf) or a small cultural memento to carry the spirit of Nepal home with you.
3. Check-out Procedures
Standard Check-out: Most hotels in Kathmandu have a checkout time of 12:00 PM.
Late Check-out: If your flight is late in the evening, we can request a late check-out for you (subject to availability) or arrange for the hotel to securely store your luggage while you enjoy a final few hours of sightseeing or shopping in Thamel.
4. Final Document Check
Before leaving the hotel, please ensure you have the following:
Passport & Air Ticket: (Physical or digital copies).
Customs: Ensure any precious metal or antique-looking souvenirs have the necessary clearance if required (your guide will advise you on this during the shopping phase).
Currency: It is difficult to exchange Nepalese Rupees (NPR) outside of Nepal. We recommend spending your remaining cash on last-minute gifts or exchanging it back to your preferred currency at the airport exchange counters before security.
5. Extension Options
If you aren't ready to say goodbye to the Himalayas just yet, please let us know! We can easily extend your stay for:
A relaxing 2-day retreat in Nagarkot.
An adrenaline-pumping Trishuli River Rafting trip.
A flight-based Everest Mountain Flight for one last look at the giants.
