The short answer
Check that the operator is licensed in Nepal, ask for the licence number and verify it. Look for clear written plans, named hotels, an office address, and reviews on independent platforms that you read yourself. A good operator answers questions directly and does not pressure you to pay.
Compare responsiveness, clarity and flexibility as well as the price. Ask who your guide and driver will be, what happens if the plan changes, and how refunds work. Avoid comparing on slogans, and focus on the written plan.
