It is preferable to book through legitimate DMCs or travel agencies for certain sectors instead of online.

Since the advent of digital media, it has become relatively simple for all travelers to reserve lodging or make travel plans online, where they sometimes also find tempting promotional offers.

Booking through a reputable travel agency or DMC is always preferable because they are knowledgeable about the issues affecting these sectors and can provide you with accurate advice and, if necessary, redirect your travel plans instantly.

Sectors like Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, Kashmir, Ladakh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, etc. are usually encouraged to book through a proper travel agent or Agents employing reputable DMC as there are many chances of rerouting travel plans immediately due to natural calamities many routes become closed often.

For instance, domestic flights within Nepal frequently get cancelled or delayed due to weather, and the majority of the country’s highways are in the mountains, where there is a higher risk of landslides.
