I am in the process of arranging a trip with itournepal.com. Looks like a cool itinerary...2 days of guided tours in and around the Kathmandu Valley, 2 full days of trekking, and then another day of tours on the final day with some free time in back in Kathmandu before we depart.

Price was very competitive...communication is good with one minor caveat I'm wondering if I should be concerned about: they haven't yet sent me a full itinerary showing the hotel confirmations.

Right now, I have award rooms booked at the Hyatt. But apparently it's out in the countryside and my wife and I are kind of looking forward to staying in a standard (read: spartan) hotel in Thamel...just for the experience. That said, I don't want to cancel the Hyatt until I see a confirmation.

I've already sent one follow-up email. I'll probably send another one this week. Trip is early October...before their big festivals...but still a fairly busy time in Kathmandu, or so I'm told...
