Working with Nepali agencies

How Explera supports the Nepal trade.

Nepal is a group-series and wedding market at heart, and Explera operates it that way: fixed-departure Golden Route programs, wedding and family groups of forty-plus, and incentive movements that fill whole hotel floors. We block group allocations months ahead, manage rooming lists as they change, and brief teams on arrival procedures so Nepali passengers clear Narita, Haneda or Kansai smoothly. FIT honeymoons ride on the same contracts at the same net rates.

Quoting is built for tight Nepal margins: per-person group grids in your working currency, child and extra-bed policies spelled out up front, and a named account manager who answers during your office hours. Series space is held on option with realistic release dates, settlement runs on agreed credit terms, and a single consolidated invoice per departure keeps reconciliation simple for your accounts team — no chasing six suppliers for six statements.

Dining is where South Asian groups are won or lost, so we pre-contract Indian, Jain and pure-vegetarian kitchens in Tokyo, Osaka and the key cities and route coaches around confirmed meal stops — essential in Japan, where even stock is usually fish-based. Hindi-speaking guides are available on request, rest stops are built into rail and coach days, and tour managers get a single line to our operations desk. Coaches are insured and sized to the manifest.

FAQ

Asked by agents in Nepal.

Why do Nepali travel agents need a Japan DMC?

A DMC gives you contracted net rates, in-country accountability and 24/7 support on Thai ground time — so you keep the client relationship and margin while Explera runs hotels, transfers, guides and excursions on the ground.

How fast are quotations for this market?

Most FIT and group RFQs return within 24 hours, fully costed in your working currency. Complex MICE programs receive a scoped proposal within 2–3 business days.

Do you provide language support for Nepal?

English-language account management is standard; multilingual guides (including Mandarin, Russian, Arabic, Japanese and European languages) are assigned to match your clients.

Which destinations do Nepali clients book most?

Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Mt Fuji anchor most Nepal itineraries on the Golden Route, with Hokkaido, Hiroshima and Okinawa close behind — and seasonality matters: we route by season so cherry blossom, autumn foliage or powder fits the travel dates, not the other way around.

How do agencies in Nepal settle invoices with Explera?

Quotations are issued in your working currency with dedicated receiving accounts in HKD, USD, EUR, GBP, AED, CAD, AUD, ILS and INR, plus secure card payment. Every payment is confirmed in writing by accounts@explera.jp — see the payments page for full account details.

Is Explera licensed to operate as a DMC in Japan?

Yes — Explera holds Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO) licence No. 34/03219 and IATA accreditation 96215733, with registered entities in Hong Kong and India. Licence numbers are printed on every quotation so your compliance team can verify before contracting.

What is the minimum group size or booking value?

There is none. The same net-rate access covers a two-person honeymoon and a 500-delegate incentive. Most Nepal partners start with a single FIT booking to test the service before moving series and group business across.

Can Explera white-label documents for our agency brand?

Yes — itineraries, vouchers and pickup boards can carry your agency branding, with Explera appearing only as the ground operator. Your client relationship stays yours; we never market to your end customers.
