Joining a group trip will involve the following steps:
- You write to us about your specific package interests and mention your available days or the time of the year you are comfortable with.
- We look for clients with the same tour package interests and assign them the same dates as you mentioned.

Join us on a private tour to Mt. Everest with your partner, family, friends, or colleagues. The private trip will only have your group members, guides, and porters from Heaven Himalaya.
Like the group joining tours, private trips will have enough room for customization and extra time on the trails. You can even change the type of accommodation and destination in cooperation with the travel agent from Heaven Himalaya.

If you love our current itineraries but would like to customize them privately as the way you want to know about Mt. Everest, then you are free to do so. You also have the freedom to add or remove any services and change them to make a family, solo, business, club, friend, or school trip.
Create a self-itinerary by adding things you want to see, where you want to go, and things you don’t want to do. Tell our travel consultant your preferences and they’ll create a new itinerary for a hassle-free trip.
