Once you pick up your baggage, you go through Nepal Customs and then you will look out for our sherpa staff who will be holding a sign with your name. Please note that as soon as you pass through Customs, and you are out of the terminals, you will see a lot of people waiting outside. Some people might approach you and offer their help, sometimes even if you say “No”, they might still try to grab your bag, and if you are nicer and let them touch your bag, they will expect you to give them some money. Please just simply say “No” if you don’t recognize the person and if you don’t need the help. When you decide to use our service, all of the arrangements will be made in advance so that you will be picked up on time. It is only about 12 minutes drive from the airport to our lodging facility.
