Thanks.

I can tell you that 18 travellers are booked onto the November 9th tour. 5 are male and 13 are female. The age ranges between late 40s - early 70s.

For the Dhulikhel add-on, 11 travellers are booked. 4 are male and 7 are female. The ages range between early 30s - early 70s.

Kindest Regards,

Amy

It is nice to know the makeup of the group as I am on this trip and JY travellers are as young as they feel.

It's good to see a good range of ages and it's nice to see folks younger than me. I wish I was on this tour but I have a feeling Nepal in November 2018 will be my main trip next year.

Angie

I hope you and your group had a wonderful time in Nepal.

I'm curious to know if you were able to do the Everest flight - I know on other tours, if someone asked, the local guide could try and fit it in if the group were agreeable.

It would be great to hear how you got on.

Angie

Thanks.

I agree - I wouldn't book this tour unless I knew it was a certainty that the Everest flight would be available.  Other companies still offer it...

Cheers,

Sometimes, depending on the available time, one can arrange such things locally even if they are not either provided or endorsed by Just You. You just need a good Tour Manager or Local Guide to facilitate this. Saying this from experience as I was able to do the Hot Air Balloon flight over Masai Mara. You just have to take responsibility for anything going wrong!

Just posted this again for some feedback when I was defrosting the car this morning.

Yip, I'm still trying to convince myself to do this tour but as you know I really want the opportunity of the Everest flight. I know other JY customers out there do too. As you say other companies do it.

One minute I think I'm going to book then I change my mind again. I wish JY would give this more thought - seems silly to go to Nepal and not to at least have the opportunity to do the flight.

I need to make a decision soon!

All the best for the New Year.

Oh, I see I now have 4 stars and am a Senior Member!

If you wish to go on the Everest flight then you will need to arrange your flight independently as we no longer offer this trip as an optional excursion.

Kind Regards,

Amy

Yes it is really frustrating.  It is all very well saying that we can arrange this ourselves, but it depends entirely on the tour manager leaving enough time for the flight to happen.  I've been on a number of JY tours and asked about organising a balloon flight, only to be told the itinerary doesn't allow enough time for me to do it myself.  Jaya was very lucky being able to do it in Kenya - and I am still seriously annoyed that I haven't been facilitated in the same way.  It is one of the reasons why I am now travelling with other companies as well as JY.

All the best,

Bob

Personally I didn't bother as a distant view of Everest through the window of a small plane didn't appeal. I was more than happy with the photos I took of the Annapurna range as the sun came up.

Is there anyone travelling from Manchester airport to connect with the group in Abu Dhabi?

Sounds like there is adventure to be had!

Angie

All the best,

Bob

I have read and understand that the flight to Everest isn't available but are we even able to see Everest  at a distance .

I'll see you in November. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would answer you. Unfortunately I would not expect we would see Everest without some kind of flight.
