Nepal Trekking Info

Typical Day on Trek
After packing bags and hearty breakfast, we set out for a walk. We stop for a lunch after 3-4 hours walking. The afternoon walk is relatively short and therefore we arrive at our destination on time. Upon our arrival at destination, tea is served. We spend remaining afternoon in exploring the village, doing a bit of washing or by enjoying a guide book.. Sometimes we will be free after the lunch. You can enjoy your evening by playing cards and relieving the days tiredness before you to bed.

Accommodation
You do not have to face any problems regarding accommodation while going trek in Annapurna region, Lang tang region and Everest region. You can find lots of clean and gracious lodges along the trail. We generally stay in a single room. Sometimes you will have to share beds in case we can not manage single rooms. There are limited facilities available in the tea houses. However, we always make sure that your stay is comfortable and food is hygienic. A few have electric lights and all have a spacious dining room-lounge. Every day, you and your group will be accommodated in local lodges. Our guide assistance (Sherpa) always goes ahead of us to book the required rooms for the group. Please remember that some of the lodges are very basic and sense of adventure is must to adjust with them.

We are working in collaboration with hotels under 4 star categories and they provide good services to our clients. However, if you have got different choice in selecting hotels, we respect your selection. You can click in our website to find the categories of hotels.

Meals and Drinking water
you will be provided standard breakfast, lunch and three course dinners on the trek. You will also be provided tea or coffee with each meal. You will be asked to select from the menu and our guides will prepare food accordingly to serve you the best possible meals. You will be served delicious and plentiful foods but the menu doesn’t include extensive items of food. Most tea houses offer variety of rice and noodles dishes with soup and seasonable vegetables. Variety of cereals, bread and egg dishes are generally available for breakfast. There will also be plenty of snacks available such as biscuits, chocolate and soft drinks and in some areas you will find fresh seasonal fruits. So far water is concerned; you can by bottled mineral water from the lodges and shop available en the route in your trek. You can also ask your guide to fill your water bottle with boiled water and treat water with purification pills.

Luggage While Trekking
Your main luggage will be carried either by the porters or at the back of animals like Yak. You will have to carry just a day pack with water bottle, camera, sun-screen, spare jackets etc along with a small load that gives you the full enjoyment of the trek. A trek bag is ideal for your main luggage, plus a small lockable bag for travel clothes or anything that you do not need during trek which you can leave at hotel’s locker room/safe deposit box in Kathmandu for free of charge. Weight allowance at Nepal ’s domestic airlines is 15 Kgs, excess weight is chargeable at USD 1 or more per Kilo depending on sectors

Trekking Crew
You will be accompanied by the trained team of local crew on tea house trek. They help to make your trip hassle-free and enjoyable. The crew team consists of a local leader (Sirdar or Headman) and a team of porters to carry all your gear. On average, there will be a ratio of one porter to every two trekkers. Sirdar speaks reasonable English, good enough to explain you about the places, local culture or any sight that catches your eyes.

Group Size
We have a small group of like minded people who always work for making your trip memorable and insightful, by creating an opportunity to interact with local people about their culture and life style. Our group generally consists of 12 members. We need a minimum of 2 participants to run our fixed departure dates. For private trips, no minimum and maximum apply.

You are free to choose any type of trips at your convenient time frame for any numbers of people if you want to travel independently with friends, families and colleagues.

Personal Expenses
Your personal expenses largely depend on the type of the trek, duration and of course the trekking region.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided on this fixed scheduled trek. You only need money for table drinks (alcoholic/non alcoholic beverages), snacks while walking (a few smaller shops are available along the trail in some areas) tips, souvenirs, hot shower (available in some places).

Tips are appreciated by your support team after the trip. The amount depends on your budget and appreciation of their work. As a suggestion, we advise you to allocate 5 - 10% of the total tour cost as tips.

How we meet in Kathamndu

You need to forward your international flight details to us in advance for your greeting at the airport.

Rescue / Evacuations
In case of serious sickness or casualty, you will be transferred to the nearest hospital and you will be liable for all the expenses incurred in evacuation. Therefore, please make sure that it is covered by your insurance before assigning for it or be prepared to pay on your own after getting back to Kathmandu.

Responsible Travel
Wonderful environment of the Himalayas is also an extremely fragile one. Increasing population density and numbers of trekkers threaten the very beauty of Nepal . As deforestation is one of the greatest environmental threats, we do not have camp fires and use kerosene for cooking as an alternative fuel to wood.

We also discourage you to use wood-fuelled hot showers in lodges along the way. Many lodges, however, now provide solar hot showers, a far more eco-friendly alternative.

Garbage disposal is another major problem and some of the busier trails can, at times, appear strew with litter. Our staff members are well motivated towards eco-friendly practices. We carry out all our garbage, apart from that which can be safely and easily burnt at the campsite. Our aim is to help protect and preserve this beautiful environment for future generations of trekkers to enjoy.

Trip Extensions
We can help you to extend your trip if you are interested to trek more both within and other neighboring countries. You can try rafting or you may go for Jungle safari in Nepal or you can enjoy Nepal cultural tour. You can also go for trek in Tibet , India and Bhutan . After the trek ends in Pokhara, you are strongly advised to spend few more days in exploring sights and sounds of the this beautiful city.

All staffs and porters are equipped with adequate clothing and equipments.
