Group prices and deposits on a trekking website
9 November 2026
Bookings on your own site
On Nature Excursion’s old site, Book This Trip led to an outside checkout. Both sites below now take bookings on their own pages.
Prices by group size
On these trips, the price per person falls as the group grows, and a guest wants to see their own price before writing. On Nepal Alternative Treks, the trip page shows each step of the price by group size. Guests book a trip on its departure date, from a list of dates our own plugin keeps, and choose add-ons at checkout.
A deposit, not the full price
On both sites, guests pay a 10% advance online by card through Himalayan Bank. On Nature Excursion, card details go only to the bank’s secure page, and the order card shows the price, the deposit today, the rest later and the cancellation policy.
When booking is not the answer
Not every trip can be booked online, and the site should say so rather than fail:
- A group can book a private date of its own
- A trip with no price, or a start too soon to arrange, asks for an enquiry instead
- On Nature Excursion, a group larger than the trip allows goes to WhatsApp
- A failed payment brings the guest back with a message and a WhatsApp link
