Mark Twain was correct when he said “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow- mindedness.” Indeed, travel is all that and much more. Travelling not only teaches you about other cultures, but it also teaches you more about yourself and your own culture. After all, only from the outside can you look back in. Where will your travels take you and what will you see? At Seagull, we believe in incorporating our clients travel experience to our belief that we are “Learning: All Together”. Travelling with Seagull is all about being open to "Experience, Discover & Explore".

The Internet can be a powerful tool. It can increase the scope and reach of a consumer's efforts and allow a person to check hundreds of options or research destinations in depth. But to make the Internet work effectively, a person has to understand where to look and what questions to ask, otherwise hours can be wasted surfing the Web and ultimately produce unsatisfactory results. This is where a travel agent can make a world of difference.

Seagull Travels is trained to guide a client through the entire process of planning a trip, whether for business or for leisure. We take classes, participate in seminars, become destination specialists and join professional associations, such as NATA. TAAN, NMA in order to ensure they make each client's travel experience as personalized, convenient and memorable as possible. When planning
a business trip or family vacation, the Internet can be a valuable resource, but it cannot replace the expertise and guidance of a travel agent. Also, during travel crises, the Internet can't replace a human being who will persist to help a client. Seagull Travels, meanwhile, can offer a myriad of intermediate options.

Do you head out on your own? Or do you join a group? One isn't superior to the other and one isn't more (or less) expensive than the other. Ultimately, this is a choice that’ll come down to personal preference. Travelling independently is a good choice if you’re happy being by yourself and you value a high degree of flexibility and customization.

Group trips can range from a few weeks to a month. They offer in-depth exploration and are led by our experienced guides. These trips have a set itinerary but usually incorporate enough free time to do things on your own. If you want less hassle and want to let a professional do the planning and deal with all the particulars; you value an experienced guide; you like to be with people; your destination is high risk; you want to pay for most of your travel in advance – then group travel is the choice for you.

It depends on the type of trip you want to take. Some trips, such as a trek to Everest Base Camp are classified as strenuous and should only be undertaken by those with plenty of hill walking experience and an above average level of fitness. However, the vast majority of Trekking and Tours in Nepal are well within the capability of any healthy individual leading a normal, active life.

The age of people that decide to do a Tour or Trek can be varied. From late 20's to late 70's, people that do these tours all share a sense of adventure and wonder for the world around them.

Seagull Travels provide small group tours (usually 5 to 15 people). Larger group expeditions comprise of usually 15 to 35 people. Small group travel allows for flexibility and informality and allows you to share great company without crowding your experience. But you can also opt for the latter.

Seagull Travels can help you provide with all information for visa application.

Cash, travellers cheques, or credit cards… that is the question! The safest way to carry money with you is in the form of travellers cheques; however, many people have said they wished they had brought more cash with them because of the difficulty in cashing travellers cheques in remote areas etc. We recommend a combination of the two – half cash and half travellers cheques. The rapid emergence of ATMs in Kathmandu means that you can now withdraw money from your saving, checking, Visa or MasterCard accounts. We advise that you do not rely solely on this form of obtaining funds, as there will not always be an ATM handy.

Out of professional courtesy, we can not convert reservations held by other Travel Agents.
