Question 1

How difficult is the Moksha tour?

Accepted Answer

We rate it moderate. The walking is short, mostly steps and temple courtyards, but there are several long drives on mountain roads and one night at 3,800 m at Muktinath. If you can manage a few hours in a vehicle and a slow climb of steps, you will be comfortable.

Question 2

How do we handle altitude at Muktinath?

Accepted Answer

We sleep two nights at Pokhara at 820 m before driving up, and we keep the time at Muktinath short and slow. We check how everyone is feeling each morning, and our guide carries a pulse oximeter. Anyone with heart or lung conditions should speak to a doctor before booking.

Question 3

What are the hotels and lodges like?

Accepted Answer

In Kathmandu, Pokhara and Chitwan we use comfortable hotels on a twin-sharing basis. At Tatopani and Muktinath the accommodation is simpler, with basic rooms and hot water at fixed hours. We tell you exactly what to expect at the briefing.

Question 4

Is travel insurance required?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We ask every guest to carry insurance that covers road travel in Nepal and, ideally, helicopter evacuation from mountain areas. Please send us the policy details before you arrive.

Question 5

When is the best time to go?

Accepted Answer

Spring, from March to May, and autumn, from late September to November, give the clearest mountain views and the most reliable roads to Jomsom. Winter trips are possible but cold at Muktinath, and the monsoon months bring cloud and landslide risk on the highways.

Question 6

Can we arrange a private departure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We run this circuit as a private journey for families and small groups, and we can adjust the pace, add rest days or change the hotel category. Tell us your dates and we will build the programme around them.
