      Trip FAQs

      What Visa do I need for India & Nepal?

      Most travelers (everyone other than citizens of Nepal & Bhutan) need to get a 30-day e-visa when traveling to India. You can apply through the Government of India’s official website. Check out our visa guide for more info.

      Don’t forget - you’ll need this Ground Handler information when you apply for the e-visa:

      Travel Scope India
      Office No. 215, Qutab Plaza, Ashoka Crescent Marg,
      DLF Phase 1, Sector 26, Gurugram, Haryana 122002, India
      Phone: +91 124 499 9499

      For Nepal, everyone other than citizens of India need a visa. You can either get one on arrival. Or in some cases, you can get an e-visa (they tend to be temperamental though!). If you're applying on arrival, please bring passport photos and USD with you!

      What are the luggage restrictions for India?

      You can bring one bag or suitcase of 73cm x 50cm x 25cm (29”x 20”x 10”), with a max weight of 15kg (33lbs). Plus one piece of hand luggage suitable as a carry-on for flights. It might be a lower-than-normal weight allowance. But that’s the luggage limit for domestic flights. So remember to save some space for all that shopping!

      Got some overweight baggage? Don’t worry. You might be able to pay in cash for the extra weight. But you won’t be able to upgrade the luggage allowance before the start of the trip.

      How do I make my way from Delhi Airport to the starting point?

      It’s simpler than you think! Once you exit the airport, look for the ‘Pre-Paid Taxi’ stall (with a yellow-sign). These taxis are run by the Delhi Police, and are very reliable. All you need to do is approach the counter and tell them you wanna go to ‘Green Park’ (that’s where our hotel is located, close to the metro station).

      What currency do I need to visit India?

      The currency used in India is the Indian Rupee (₹). Don’t forget to keep some cash in hand. But in case you forget, you’ll find ATMs readily accessible in cities.

      Is there a Trip Manager on the trips to Nepal?

      If you’re on the Delhi to Kathmandu Quest trip, you’ll have a Trip Manager with you.

      For Nepal Trek & Temples and Nepal Trek Challenge there isn’t a Contiki Trip Manager because these treks are conducted by our trusted third party operator. But don’t worry, you’ll still have an experienced local guide with you.

      How fit do travelers need to be to book the treks?

      Nepal Trek and Temples
      You don’t have to do any strenuous training for these treks. But they definitely involve walking 3-6 hours a day on an average. You’ll have a porter who’ll carry your backpacks and other essentials. But since there isn’t any road access during the trek, you’ll have to finish the trek in its entirety once you start.

      Nepal Trek Challenge
      We recommend that you consider some additional training before you join us at Nepal (unless you’re a seasoned hiker, of course). Training to walk uphill is a good idea. You’ll have a porter who’ll carry your backpacks and other essentials. But since there isn’t any road access during the trek, you’ll have to finish the trek in its entirety once you start.

      What should I pack for this trip?

      You’ll be traveling through many types of weather. So, don’t forget some essentials like a daypack and rucksack, plenty of t-shirts and trousers, comfortable hiking boots, jogging suits, and a good cap (or hat in the summer).

      A warm jacket, some insect repellent, sun protection, woollen items, a good torch with batteries are essential too. And also don’t forget to get a sleeping bag with inner liners for all those days you’ll spend camping in the Himalayas!

      What is Contiki?

      Contiki are the world leaders in organized youth travel. We’ve been providing amazing travel experiences for young travellers, from 18-35 years old, since 1962. Imagine how good you would be at something if you had been doing it for more than 60 years?

      Everything about Contiki is deeply rooted in our two values ‘Make Every Moment Count’ and ‘We’re About People’. We don’t just talk, we walk the walk and live by our brand philosophy of ‘Travel.Together.’ which means to travel with one another, with the destinations we visit, the people and cultures we enjoy and the environment.

      You’ve never experienced travel like this.

      Why only 18-35?

      Focusing on 18-35 year olds allows us to tailor a dramatically more powerful travel experience and an itinerary so fun it feels like all of your best Friday nights combined.

      Tailoring to select ages brings together like minded, likeable people, and allows us to use Social Travel planning to build great groups of people so fast you’ll wonder if you’ve been friends forever.

      How many other travellers are on each trip?

      Group sizes are completely dependent on where and how you choose to travel with Contiki.

      In Europe and in most of North America and New Zealand, group sizes can range between 24 – 53 awesome travellers.

      In regions like Asia, Australia, Africa and Latin America, and on some North America and New Zealand trips, our group sizes are considerably smaller – as low as 12 or up to 30 travellers max.

      Detour trips offer a different type of experience and max out at 16 people led by a local host.

      Each group is administered according to our strict Covid policies which can be viewed here.

      Can I book online?

      You certainly can! All of our trips are available to book online, just select your preferred travel date(s) and away you go. You can also book over the phone if you'd prefer.

      What’s included?

      All essential trip elements have been catered to ensure a great time, with great people in great places. But you mean more specifically right?

      Your accommodation, essential trip transport, and a good handful of meals are included in the cost of your Contiki trip (on most trips we offer breakfast every day, plus a hand-picked selection of authentic and tasty meals).

      To fill your days and Insta feeds we have Included Experiences, which are basically the sights and activities we think you just can’t afford to miss. Of course you also get our expert and highly trained team of Contiki staff to support throughout.

      A day by day breakdown of inclusions and Free Time Add-Ons are available on the trip specific pages.

      We always try to accommodate special requests such as birthdays, proposals etc. Please chat to our team and we can explore how we may support the request.

      What’s not included?

      Contiki social travel trips have a large degree of flexibility built into them to enable you to truly own your experience. This means that some trip elements are not included in the initial cost and may require additional budgeting.

      Flights to and from your starting and ending points are not included in the cost of your trip. These can be added on during the booking process either online or via our contact center or booked independently by you.

      Each trip contains the right amount of free time for you to explore or indulge your travel desires. We offer Free Time Add-Ons, which are additional experiences that are not included in the overall price. These add ons are highlighted on the specific trip page. Your Trip Manager will highlight these to you and organise their booking on trip. Exceptions may apply where pre booking is required but this will be made known to you in your pre departure information.

      A number of meal times are left open for you to explore a region and its foodie offerings in greater detail, so budgeting for your taste in non-catered meals is important.

      Travel insurance and visas are also not included in the cost of your trip, and should be booked separately.

      What are Contiki's sustainability credentials?

      Travel comes with responsibilities. That’s why we’re determined to travel sustainably and consciously, and that’s why we’re willing to take a stand on issues closest to our hearts. Find out more details here.

      With the help of our four-point Climate Action Plan, we're now on a journey to Net Zero - committing to carbon reductions and evolving to support the transition to a low-carbon future.

      Find out more details here.

      Do I need to purchase travel insurance for this trip?

      Yes! It’s a requirement of traveling with Contiki that you take out comprehensive insurance cover for cancellation, personal injury, death, medical expenses, repatriation expenses, evacuation expenses, personal liability & loss of personal property and Covid related expenses before you travel with us. It’s also super important to check that your insurance covers all of the activities you’ll be trying out, particularly any adventure activities (for all you adrenaline junkies).
