How to make a payment

Booking your adventure with WildStep Trekking is simple, secure, and transparent. To confirm your trek, tour, peak climbing expedition, or multi-country holiday, we require an advance booking deposit. The remaining balance can be settled easily upon your arrival in Kathmandu prior to your trip departure.
