Consider the experience and fitness level of
the members of your group carefully. We can advise you about
difficulties challenges relating to each route as well as the
scenic cultural highlights of the relative regions.
Give yourself enough time to allow some flexibility in your
schedule for acclimatization, side-trip or extra rest day, if
needed. Trek is always demanding a well health. Almost all treks
require walking daily close to 15 k.m. Even on an easy trek one
will require to walk for about 6 to 7 hours day. If you want
advanced prepared for trek you can walk 6 to 9 KM in a day for
your adjustment when you ready to trek.
Remember Nepal may not be just like it is at home. That is one
of the reasons most people come here. Savor the differences and
enjoy. Our staffs are knowledgeable and happy to answer your
questions about Nepali culture and customs. Pack carefully. Ask
about seasonal changes and temperature.
Be prepared for cold nights at high altitudes at any time of the
year. Layered clothing works better than one heavy layer and
gives more flexibility for warm mid-day. Good and comfortable
boots will be your best friend.
Try to keep your daypack as light as possible. Maximum weight -
8 to 10 Kg. is suggested.
Each porter carries 20-25 Kg. Although dokos (wicker carrying
baskets) are more picturesque, we now recommend our clients put
their personal gear in a backpack with a good hip-belt to ease
for porter's load. Packing gear for two clients plus their
personal equipment is a usual practice. (An alternative to the
above suggestion is the use of a zippered duffel bag).
Respect the environment. The advice Take nothing but
photographs. Leave nothing but footprints remains true. Nepal
has suffered environmentally in the past. Help us to change the
trend and preserve our beautiful land.
A trek in Nepal is a different kind out door holiday from most
other mountain walks or climbs. When you start trek you walk up
and down steep hills through remote hill villages where farmers
raise crops and herd their livestock. In the village you won't
find electricity, telephone, airport and hospital. You will see
a post office, school and small food and lodging for travelers.
But our trek team we will manage all the necessary things.
Generally we have two options for food and accommodation along
the way. You can rely on local facilities or you can travel with
an encourage that carries all its food and tents with it.
On the major trekking routes the hotel facilities are well
developed and carter to basic Western standards taste and
hygiene, so it's easy and practical to rely on them. In more
remote regions we don't have any facility so we provide a full
complement of tents, porters, tour guide and other office member
so we can make your trek trip enjoyable. |
