[quote=mikew;511380]Hi Vickie,
Thanks for your reply, even if it is somewhat disappointing - no visit to Phewa Lake included (can’t believe it!) and still no movement on your stance regarding Everest/Annapurna flights although this is less surprising.
Still, I guess that travellers will be too busy shopping in refugee camps and arts and craft centres to engage in rather more interesting pursuits! And just in case people haven’t bought enough souvenirs already, they can ‘create their own unique souvenir to take home’ on day 10! Don’t get me wrong, the programme in Kathmandu, the visit to SASNE and Chitwan National Park all seem great. And while I like to purchase a souvenir of my holiday (the visit to Indrachowk market on day 2 sounds good and would also provide for some great photo opportunities), I just think that you’ve gone a little overboard with the number of shopping stops. I’m not asking for major alterations to what is a new tour itinerary - just a minor tweak to take in a major attraction whilst in Pokhara.

I think perhaps that this is a tour designed with the ladies in mind; something which is borne out by the figures that you’ve given me on bookings so far, and if you won’t take on board a little constructive criticism then I’ll probably pass on this particular tour. Oh, and by the way, you didn’t answer my question regarding the total number of places available on this holiday.

Good Morning Roger,

There are 9 people booked on this tour (including yourself) and we have 7 rooms left in the hotels as it stands. The maximum capacity of the tour is 30, so we would request more rooms from our suppliers when our current allocation has sold out.

regarding the details there are: There are 9 people on the tour; 7 women and 2 men.

Sorry for the confusion and we hope you have an amazing time in Nepal!

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

I've just booked this trip and was informed there were 7 places left so I presume, from previous replies, there is now 23 travellers. Could you please tell me the M/F split. Thanks.

Regards,

Roger

Also, many thanks Angie for your great suggestion about taking the Everest flight on day 11 - that’s something that I hadn’t considered. Would anyone else booked on this holiday be interested in this?
All the best

Hi, Just found this thread: am booked on the India and Nepal trip leaving on 12 November 2019. We fly to Khatmandu on 12 th November and fly on to India in the morning of day 11. I don't know whether our paths will overlap or whether the two trips are combined at any point, but I will definitely do everything I can to get on an Everest flight although the option of taking it on the 11th day is clearly not available to me. I'm pinning my faith in a representative being at the hotel whith whom I can discuss it. Meanwhile, off to do some more research. I cannot think why anyone would wish to visit and not take an Everest flight!!! By the way, although being female I personally I am not at all interested in shopping;)

Hi Mike,

I know who you are referring to regarding an alternative tour - the only reason I'm not going on her tour is that there are too many days in Kathmandu, and having been to Nepal before, I want to see more of the country. I have now booked with a company I have been using for the last couple of years. If you do, or already have, booked with JY, we may bump into each other!

Cheers,

Hils

Hi Hils, I’m fine thank you and hope you are well too. Many thanks for your comments and it’s interesting to note that you hope to return to Nepal later this year. I am aware of a tour run by a TM (in conjunction with a local company) who is well known in JY circles, which offers the opportunity to take both an Everest flight and a helicopter ride to Annapurna base camp as optional extras. This being the case, it’s especially disappointing that JY won’t reconsider their stance on this.

Hi TimH - many thanks for the information regarding the Everest flight. I’ll consider this when making a final decision.

Cheers

Mike

I visited Nepal a couple of years ago with Just You and while no Everest flight was offered through or endorsed by Just You, we were aware that a representative from the company that organises the flights would be available in the hotel reception one afternoon should we wish to make our own arrangements. The majority of our group did take the everest flight early one morning and were back in time for breakfast having had our champagne on the flight, it was certainly worth doing.

I seem to recall that the cost was just over $200.

Hi Mike,

Hope you are well.

Don't be put off by some of the negative remarks about Nepal (airports in particular!), it is a fantastic country. I have flown in and out of Kathmandu Airport, and Lukla (which yes is scary but exhilerating!). Of all the 66 countries I have been to, Nepal is still my favourite, and I'm hoping to return later this year.

Despite the fact I have seen Everest (11 day Everest Trail trek in 2003), I will still be considering doing the flight (not going with JY though!) as this is included as an optional extra. The price I was quoted was $250.

Needless to say you will have to take many memory cards with you, and spare batteries!!

Enjoy!

Hi to Di too!

Cheers,

Hils

Hi again Mike,

I have timings now. As this tour is new and hasn’t departed, these should be used as just a guide for now.

On day 6 you'll have lunch at 1pm, and then you'll have free time until dinner at 7pm.

For the mornings in Kathmandu, below are the timings for breakfast and the beginning of the day’s activities :

Day 3 : Breakfast at 8am, sightseeing begins 9am

Day 4 : Breakfast at 8am driving to Bandipur at 9am

Day 10 : Breakfast at 8am, sightseeing begins at 9.30am

Many thanks,

Vickie

Hi Mike,

Yes, 30 is the total - sorry to completely confuse the situation!

Many thanks,

Vickie
