But as always we recommend organizing your tour with a professional team who has been doing this over the years and years. If you are with an unprofessional team and who doesn’t know much about organizing yatra it might also cause problems during the tour for older people. So, we highly recommend book your yatra with safe hands. Recently, a 3 years old Nepalese cute boy successfully completed the yatra with his parents without any problems. So the ages are just the numbers if you have interest from the inner heart.
