Treks#
Trekking in Nepal lists treks as cards. Under the heading is a Filter by difficulty chip row: All, Easy, Moderate, Challenging, Strenuous. Up to 48 treks are shown; if none match you see "No treks match that filter".
On a trek page the facts bar shows Duration, Max altitude, Distance, Best season, Starts and Ends. The section menu lists Overview, Itinerary (Day-by-day itinerary), Permits, Safety (Safety and altitude), Packing, FAQs and More treks. The side card Plan this trek repeats difficulty, days and altitude, offers Guided tours in X (or Browse guided tours) and a Permits you need link, with a map of the route. Is this trek right for you? opens the assistant with this trek as context. Permit information carries a freshness notice.
Things to do#
Things to Do in Nepal is a grid of activity cards (safaris, paragliding, rafting, cultural tours and more). If there are none yet you see "Activity guides are on their way". An activity page has a facts bar (Difficulty, How long, Best season, Typical cost, Where), sections About, What to expect, How to book, Safety, What to bring, Good to know, FAQs, Photos, Where, and Tours with that activity, plus a Plan it card with a button to those tours (or Browse tours) and Best places for it. The "How to book" text is general editorial advice; booking itself happens with the operator or agency, never on Recent Visits.
Travel guides#
Nepal Travel Guides lists practical guides (visas, best time to visit, transport, permits and so on). Empty message: "Guides are being fact-checked". A guide page shows the title, summary and author, a freshness notice, the text with a table of contents (In this guide), optional FAQs, Destinations this applies to and More travel guides.
Freshness notices#
Time-sensitive pages (travel guides and trek permits) carry a notice about when the information was last checked:
| Notice | Meaning |
|---|---|
| "... was last checked on (date) against (source). Rules can change; confirm before you travel." | Checked recently. Still confirm with the official source. |
| "... was last checked on (date) and is due for review." | Due for a re-check soon. Confirm the latest details with the source. |
| "... was last verified on (date) and may be out of date." (red) | The review date has passed. Always confirm with the source. |
| "... has not been independently verified yet." (red) | No check is recorded. Treat it as a starting point only. |
Search#
Open /search from the magnifier icon. The page has one box.
| Field or item | Type | Required? | Explanation | How to use it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Search box (placeholder "Search Nepal: Pokhara, Everest, permits...") | Search box | Yes | The words to look for, up to 120 characters; at least 2 letters are needed. The box is selected automatically when the page is empty. | Type and press Enter. |
| Search | Button | - | Runs the search (shows only a magnifier on a phone). | Select it. |
| Results | List | - | Up to 30 matches, best first. Each shows a type label (Destination, Trek, Activity, Travel guide, Story, Country, Partner, Tour, Traveller story), a title link and a short excerpt. | Select a title. |
| "Type at least 2 characters." | Message | - | Shown when the search is too short. | Add letters. |
| "No matches" | Empty state | - | "Try a destination, trek or topic such as "permits". The assistant can also answer questions directly." | Try other words, or ask the assistant. |
There are no filters and no sorting on the search page. Itineraries are not searched; use Itineraries. When demo listings are hidden by the site, demo agencies, tours and stories are left out of the results too.
How to find a tour that fits#
- Open Tours (menu) and pick a destination chip, then a style, then a length.
- Open two or three tours and compare What's included, the itinerary and the agency's reviews.
- Select Request a quote on the tours you like, or open an itinerary to ask up to three agencies at once.
- Wait for the quotes in My trips and compare them.
Troubleshooting#
| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| "No tours match those filters". | Remove one chip at a time, starting with the length. |
| The section menu has no Food link. | The page has no food section yet. Only sections with content are listed. |
| View on partner site is missing on a tour. | That agency has not supplied its own page; use the quote form. |
| A guide shows a red freshness notice. | Check the official source named in the notice before you rely on the information. |
| Search finds nothing for an itinerary. | Itineraries are not in search. Open Itineraries instead. |
